Jason Reitman Talks Young Adult, Autobiographical Films, And His Evolving Directing StyleYoung Adult is in a way an attempt to get away from that meta conversation, a stripped-down and sometimes aggressively difficult film about a supremely unlikeable character who, despite plenty of reasons in favor of it, refuses to change. It's so immersed in its lead character that it demands to be taken on its own terms...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-09 09:46:42comments
Patton Oswalt Talks Young Adult And The Lasting Impact Of The Bad News BearsNot that many people saw Big Fan, which means that this weekend's release of Young Adult may be the first opportunity for a lot of people to see how well Oswalt can build a character who's not too far removed from subjects he'd bring up in his standup, but also a fully developed and eventually heartbreaking character on his own...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-08 09:01:39comments

Charlize Theron Makes Lots Of Enemies In Two Young Adult ClipsBoth of these scenes are teased in the movie's excellent trailer, but it's good to see how they play out in what's more like their full versions-- I'm guessing from the fact that there's no profanity that each of these have been trimmed a bit.
