What critics compared Young Adult to
"Young Adult" is the first collaboration between director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody since the success of their " Juno " (2007).
If you can believe Charlize Theron as a loveless layabout then you'll probably buy into " Young Adult ," the new movie from director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody , the team that brought us " Juno ."
A baby, a high school, and esoteric pop culture references once again figure prominently — albeit less glibly — in director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody's first re-teaming since Juno.
For better or worse, the director and screenwriter, who first worked together on 2007’s “Juno,” have created a motion picture that shatters our expectations, doesn’t contain traditional story arcs and transports us to an ugly place that most mainstream audiences will not want to visit.
Cody created an intensely unlikable character here, the opposite of her upbeat pregnant teen Juno but with equal pop sarcasm in the dialogue.
Diablo Cody is one of the few screenwriters whose name regular people even recognize, let alone have an opinion about, so the release of "Young Adult" -- her third feature, after her Oscar-winning "Juno" and lackluster "Jennifer's Body" -- attracts more attention than usual.
The second, Young Adult (which also starred Theron), was a steep step down.
“Tully” comes from a screenplay by Diablo Cody, who wrote Reitman’s hit “Juno” as well as “Young Adult,” which starred Theron.
Bright colors, snappy jokes and gloriously full-bodied emotions defined Juno and Young Adult, the first two collaborations between director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody.
As they have previously shown with both Juno and Young Adult (which also featured Theron in the lead role), Reitman and Cody have a tremendous ability to deliver a set of characters who are as fallible as they are relatable.
But despite the tilting of their instant-credibility-crowns, the pair continued to do strong work, even reuniting for the biting 2011 comedy drama, Young Adult, starring Charlize Theron.
Motherhood is messy in “Tully,” the third collaboration between director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody (“Juno,” “Young Adult”).
But as testament to the power within The Gift, this scene touches upon a sociopathic nature within former high school peers, coming this side of Jason Reitman’s Young Adult.
