Young Adult may be the year's most engaging feel-bad movie.

Engaging? This was a cookie cutter RomDramedy we see every year, except Young Adult had no real story, it unravels like a ball of yarn leaving you with a big mess that makes you wish you never watched it. I think Detroit News needs to find a new critic. By the way, did you even watch this film?

it was difficult to be engaged to the film but I am a Charlize fan and struggled thru it, but overall enjoyed the feel badness of it...

I threw the DVD in the trash the second it was over. what a piece of garbage masquerading as a movie. the only reason I kept watching while hearing insulting line after insulting line ("men like me are born loving women like you" wtf?) was because of the 81% rating. RT needs to change its critics as well!

Please don't write in anymore....if you didn't like this movie then you have no taste and are unintelligent....a critic you're NOT!
