The opening track, “The Concept,” serves as the theme song for Young Adult.
Bandwagonesque was one of my favorite albums of the 90s. Teenage Fanclub is one of those bands that not enough people discovered. The 90’s soundtrack to Young Adult is as good as the movie. From the twisted hair to the shotgunned Diet Coke, it was painful to watch – but painful was exactly what it was supposed to be. I was surprised that Patton Oswalt was so likeable as such a cynical character and that Charlize could be so unlikeable but still likeable enough for you to root for her to get her shit straight. Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman, who first teamed up for Juno, deliver a sardonic sequel of sorts.
