Forget the plot for just a moment & focus on the soundtrack. If you like/remember alternative rock, then there's your reason to give this movie a try. I do find it ironic that they didn't choose to make the main character resemble Courtney Love's personality. That would've complimented the movie's music & plot theme. Bottom line, I think this movie's demographic is aging Gen-Xers who are stuck in the past & unhappy with life. If that describes you, then this movie is worth a look.

Well written, acted and directed character study. Mavis Gary, has done okay for herself, ghost-writing for a Young Adult book series. But, in her late 30's, and the series ending, she decides to take a trip back to her small town home, and win back her happily married, high-school boyfriend. The most beautiful girl in 2 counties, she still has people who worship her, but no friends left behind. She cannot see how foolish she looks, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

The character played by Charlize Theron is so reprehensible I can't believe she took the roll. Its also not a comedy, unless you like laughing at others who are suffering from their own bad choices. I want those 90 minutes of my life back.
