Juno director and screenwriter reunite for a powerful comedy-drama about prolonged adolescence, love and life's many mistakes.
Charlize Theron plays Mavis Gary, a writer of teen literature who returns to her small hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn't quite gotten over high school, either. “Patton Oswalt's dark duet with Charlize Theron is funny, touching and vital” - Rolling Stone
