After a largely dramatic and fantastically moving venture with "Up in the Air", Jason Reitman is back to his comedic roots with "Young Adult", and it's pretty much what I was hoping he'd make at this point in his career. It's not really too much of an awards push, nor should it be. If Reitman alternates between comically charged dramas and Diablo Cody scripted comedies with dramatic veins, I'll be satisfied. My worst fears were that "Young Adult" would go too far down the typical route, but trust Reitman to bring his grounded realist vision to the table. This looks like fun. Unapologetic fun.
