Review of Young Adult (2011) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 08 Dec 2011
Patton Oswalt is, in a way, the key to the film's success. Theron is flawless at playing a cringe-inducing monster and Wilson touching as a nice guy who hates to offend her, but the audience needs a point of entry, a character we can identify with, and Oswalt's Matt is human, realistic, sardonic and self-deprecating.
He speaks truth to Mavis.
