    Plot: A mother of three hires a night-nanny to help with her newborn.

    A new film directed by Jason Reitman only seems to turn heads from a certain demographic. Most people including myself will associate him with Juno, and that's about it.

    I barely remember him doing Up In The Air. But I'm afraid that's as far as I go.

    From what I was hearing from the marketing, is that the writer of Juno Diablo Cody is also known in this. This means she is collaborating with Reitman for the third time. Also, with the brilliant Charlize Theron leading the way, this has the talent to make this a memorable watch.

    From early on, you can already feel a lot of relatable situations from both the story and the characters. With the sharp dialogue bringing a lot of laughs, I felt pretty engaged with this before any serious development took place.

    Then as the story moves along, there are many sweet and endearing moments that involves some strong chemistry with our main characters. However, there were hints of a twist that certainly had me guessing of an outlandish outing.

    There was a twist, and I can see it dividing people. For me, I really liked how they ended it and it made me much more satisfied then I expected. But for others, I can see them being completely disappointed after such a strong build-up.

    Charlize Theron plays the lead, and she continues to be such a huge talent. We've seen her in films where she is stunningly beautiful, and yet she has also done films where she is far away from her modelling days. But whatever transformation she takes, the acting is still of the highest quality.

    You get a real sense of frustration with the situation Theron's character is in, and so that you quickly have us sympathizing for her. Plus her comedic timing was spot on, and it brought out a lot of laughs from me.

    Theron's chemistry with Mackenzie Davis was to see develop and ended it being integral to the second half of the film, which paid off really well.

    The mix of comedy and emotional drama was absolutely spot on and was its biggest strength. The laughs definitely paid off, it gave you emotional gut punches at the right time and it even a sprinkling of a twist.

    You don't often see these types of movies be made, and when they're good, they need to be championed. I knew it had the great potential. But I was just not expecting how much I was thinking about it afterwards.

    Theron is great, the story is very engaging and is writing is strong and made this exceptional viewing.

    It didn't get much of a release in the UK. So I hope it finds its place when it's out on demand.

    Rating: 8/10
