Youth in Revolt (2009)

Soooo. Filmmakers behind Youth in Revolt. Again with Michael Cera in the “young guy who really wants to not be a virgin anymore” role? Really?

And the ill-advised audacity of shoehorning overly pretentious youths pining away for French Cinema of the ‘60s into this tired narrative?

And using ridiculously poorly done “artsy” animations to pass the time between the hackneyed scenes of teenage romance?!

Please. Please do not do this kind of thing. Ever. Again.

P.S. Michael Cera: more Francois Dillinger roles, less Nick Twisp. Grow a pair, buddy. Take some freaking risks. You were almost sexy there for a second, guy. Almost.

  1. This movie was actually made in 2008, when Michael Cera playing Michael Cera had yet to become obnoxiously overdone. I haven't seen it, and I probably never will, but I thought that was worth noting.
