Arriving in theaters today,YOUNG ADULT is an off-beat romantic comedy about an author of books aimed at the young-adult market who returns to her small hometown in the false hope of reawakening a relationship with a now married former high school sweetheart. Directed by JASON REITMAN from a script by DIABLO CODY, the cast includes CHARLIZE THERON, PATTON OSWALD, PATRICK WILSON and ELIZABETH REASER.

Going home again can be a painful process but, during a recent press conference to promote the film, THERON recounted a “reunion” experience that proved to be pretty satisfying. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO) Language NSFW.
