Youth In Revolt follows Nick Twisp (Michael Cera), a somewhat socially awkward teen who finds Sheeni the love of his life. Fate conspires against the two from staying together. Nick vows that he will do anything that he can do to be with her. In order to do this he creates an alter-ego Francois, who is everything he is not. After that point the fun really begins.
Allan's Take:
This is an age old story that's been told ever since there's been an art form to express it. And even though we've seen it over and over again, it never seems to get old. It is always relevant. I love this movie. It is funny, true and honest. And in it's own quirky way it can be called a Romantic Comedy. The acting is well carried out by everyone in the film. Michael Cera is brilliant. I especially like how they brought in the whole idea of an alter ego. It adds a new depth of originality to comedy.
Jared's Take:
The story that Youth In Revolt tells is a classic. Sure, its been done before, but never quite like this. The acting was good and the movie had plenty of laughs. I suppose the overall goal of the movie was accomplished. I really have nothing else to say about this movie except I didn't feel as if it reached its full potential.
If you must, GO NOW, but if you can wait...RENT IT!
