By creating an unpredictable, complex, anti-hero woman protagonist in her Academy Award-winning comedy Juno, screenwriter Diablo Cody gained critical and commercial success. She aimed to recapture that feat when she reunited with the film's director, Jason Reitman, for the new comedy-drama Young Adult. The film focuses on what happens when the self-involved, former high school It girl nears her mid-life crisis-wondering how she can relive her glory days, when she emotionally peaked as a teenager.
