Director: Jason Reitman
Cast: Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass, Ron Livingston

After giving birth to her third child, Marlo is overwhelmed by exhaustion. Her brother offers to pay for a night nanny so she can get some sleep, and she quickly forms a close bond with this young care-free woman. Diablo Cody, who wrote Juno (and Young Adult) reunites with Jason Reitman to tell another smart and insightful story about motherhood. There are laughs and tears, and a twist that worked for me. Charlize Theron and Mackenzie Davis give excellent performances.
