I will start with the one and only positive to this movie; Charlize Theron portrays her character as a classical popular school girl who has no time for anyone except herself, who 20 years into the future ends up as a depressant alcoholic who lives purely in the past of her school glory days very well. However the main two issues with this movie is it's unbelievably boring plot and an even worst script. The plot consisting solely of Mavis Gray trying to win back her former high school boy friend, who is happily married with a new baby, drags so heavily and becomes utterly monotonous after the half hour mark. The script that Diablo Cody has created contains her attempt at humour which is best described as dry. Unfortunately it is quite apparent that Diablo Cody hasn't a single funny bone in her body as this movie fails to create any form of laughter at any point. There are moments that are actually quite offensive in which disabled people are mocked for the sake of it. And to top it all off Diablo decides to be clever going against the cliché ending in which the nasty girl becomes a 'goody'. However all this does is leaves you deflated and curious as to the point of the movie other than to show us the life of a pathetic waste of space of a human being. If I had to use one negative comment about this movie though it would be BORING!
P.S if you watch this movie ask yourself if it felt like 1hr 30mins? I bet the answer is a lot more!!!
