  • Starring: Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday, Ray Liotta
  • Summary: Youth in Revolt is the story of Nick Twisp – a unique, but affable teen with a taste for the finer things in life like Sinatra and Fellini – who falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Sheeni Saunders while on a family vacation. But family, geography and jealous ex-lovers conspire to keep these two apart. With Sheeni’s encouragement, Nick abandons his dull, predictable life and develops a rebellious alter ego: Francois. With his ascot, his moustache and his cigarette, Francois will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni, and leads Nick Twisp on a path of destruction with unpredictable and uproarious consequences.

    Bursting with smart dialogue, surprising situations and humor that springs from richly imagined characters.

    An improbable but hilarious combine of losin'-it comedies and the rarefied, Europhile air of the Cinema du Twee.

    It's a kick to see Cera cut loose from his patented befuddled-nerd routine, even if the film's caricatured performances and fish-in-a-barrel scorn are sure to be monotonous for some.

    The movie is too busy trying to be artistic to succeed in actually being funny.
