Young Adult

The trailer for Young Adult is out and while it does seem to be a lot better than Jennifer's Body, it does seem a little... off. Obviously the trailer is just a few cherry picked moments but I don't think there can be many more jokes about Charlize Theron's aloofness to her flame's marriage; that horse is pretty beaten up by the end of the trailer (although I did really like the last line.) And if it is just a straight albeit dark comedy, I'm not sure there's really enough to go with here. Theron's character comes off in the trailer as just too far gone for anyone to really relate to her. But, according to the AV Club, writer Diablo Cody promised a more "serious" film so maybe there's more than meets the eye. And since it's a very interesting premise and I've been a fan of director Jason Reitman's previous films (Juno, Thank You for Smoking, and Up in the Air) so I won't just the film by its trailer.
