Script review - "Young Adult" by Diablo Cody

Like Juno, Cody takes a very familiar, simple story - woman comes back to town to win back an ex - and handles it with freshness and verge. The look at small town life is more cynical and jaundiced here - her ex is happy, chubby, a father and bland, the locals have low horizons, there is a lot of smugness. And the lead is a mess - near alcoholic, bitchy, selfish, egotistical. It works, though, especially the stuff with her old chubby former school mate with a horrific injury (really horrific - he has trouble masturbating) and his sister. It's going to be interesting to see how the public take to this.
