I enjoy Michael Cera as much as the next person; he's awkward and endearing and watching him fumble makes me feel better about myself. The thing about Michael Cera, is that all of the characters he plays... are Michael Cera.
Well... except for Nick Twisp.
It starts off with Nick masturbating; I hadn't seen the trailer prior to the TIFF premiere, and during that first scene I somehow started having horrible flashbacks of Nick and Nora's Craptastic Adventure.
4 minutes in, my mind was changed.
The movie is filled to the brim with witticisms that I feared would fall flat with Cera's non-dimensional acting; I was surprised. He managed to avoid turning sexual situations into awkward moments, and the brilliantly written screen play kept the pace fast and...well, hilarious.
The character is less naive than we're meant to believe; Nick Twisp just wants to belong, and his alter-ego Francois (Cera with a shady looking 'stache) enables Nick to do that... it's like they've embarked on that wild ride that we all wish we could take.
There were SO MANY one liners that had the audience laughing, I think that it's hard not to adore this movie.
Seriously, I will be seeing it again.
