In two minds about this one. It's no Juno, a film about which I still feel very fondly - but nor do Cody and Reitman set out for anything approaching that territory. Young Adult is a comedy of sorts, but it's just as much - if not more so - interested in character and behaviour, and it's unafraid to put a very unlikeable main character front and centre; it's one of those films that excels at awkward. Frankly, I was only lukewarm on it - there just wasn't anything in it that I really sunk my teeth into. Still, I liked the snap and grit of it, and it had enough moments to keep me going.
