Diablo Cody Explains "Young Adult"

I just love Miss Diablo Cody! She’s witty, nice, and writes really great characters, okay, "Jennifer’s Body" was a misstep. But with "Young Adult," Cody got her groove back! She spins an original tale about a 30-something woman (wonderfully played by Charlize Theron) who still thinks she’s a Young Adult.

SIDENOTE: I started following Diablo Cody way back during the height of MySpace. Then, "Juno" happened, and her star exploded! I haven’t been back on MySpace to check up on her. I haven’t been back on MySpace period! Have you?

In this interview, we talked about:

  • The movie’s un-Hollywood treatment of romantic comedies
  • What made her want to make "Young Adult?"
  • Is Charlize Theron’s character redeemed in the end? Did she learn anything?
  • The movie as a character study
  • Her Midwest roots
  • Working with Jason Reitman the second time around
  • Any regrets from High School?

Have fun!
