Although she doesn't admit it herself, Mavis (played by Charlize Theron) is a typical older single woman. She lives alone, has no friends, eats junk food and writes trashy novels. What's even more tragic is that her novels don't sell well. One day, she received an email from her ex-boyfriend Buddy (played by Patrick Wilson), who had just become a father, but mistakenly believed that it was a courtship signal sent by Buddy to her. Mavis was overjoyed and decided to change her appearance and return to Mercury Town, where she had lived during her student days, to save her ex-boyfriend who was Mired in a marital crisis. In Mercury Town, she met Matt (played by Patton Oswalt), the fat man she had once ridiculed. Matt told her to quickly give up the idea of poaching him because Buddy's life was actually very happy and fulfilling, and his wife was also a very charming housewife. Of course, Mavis didn't believe it. But reality slapped her hard across the face. Having made a fool of herself in front of her old classmates, Mavis suddenly realized that Buddy's happy life filled her with jealousy, but her own life was also the "best life" in others' eyes. Overnight, Mavis finally transformed from a "teenager" into a true "adult".[Collapse]
