Charlize Theron is Mavis Gary, a 37 year old young adult
novelist who has never really grown up.
As she struggles to write the final novel in her series, she
receives a picture of her former high school sweetheart’s new baby and decides
to visit her home town in the hope of winning him back.
Despite Buddy now being happily married and enjoying
fatherhood, Mavis is convinced that they belong together and sets upon
reminding him of their past. Along the way Mavis bumps into a former classmate who
despite not having been friends in high school, tries to stop her embarrassing
herself and encourages her to return to her day job.
But Mavis is determined not to give up and while she relies
on junk food and alcohol to get her through the day, she eventually realises
that everyone in her home town has grown up and moved on with their lives
except her.
She has to realise that she is no longer a Young Adult.
