About this movie

Academy Award winner Charlize Theron stars as Mavis Gary, a 37-year-old former prom queen, and current writer of young adult novels, who returns home to relive her glory days and win back her now-married high school sweetheart. When she finds her homecoming more challenging than expected, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate and both must face the harsh realities of growing up in this brilliant and bittersweet story critics are hailing as a "one-of-a kind comedy"* and "quirky, funny, heartfelt."

There was no point to this movie and it wasn't even funny. I found it quite painful to watch.
