IMDB
Young adult author Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) returns to her home town when she gets an announcement that her ex-boyfriend just had a baby. She goes back in hopes of stealing him away. She befriends Matt (Patton Oswalt), a man who was in her high school class who was crippled in a hate crime, where a group of jocks beat him with a crowbar thinking he was gay.
I actually really enjoyed this movie a lot. I was quite surprised, because it is written by Diablo Cody and I do not necessarily like the way she writes dialogue, but it is really good in this film. The story is fine, and features a good mixture of comedy and drama, without ever getting too silly or emotional.
8/10
