Perfect vehicle for Michael Cera, his fans will be in heaven, 22 September 2009
7/10
Author: larry-411 from United States

I attended the World Premiere of "Youth in Revolt" at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. The film has one of the funniest scripts in recent memory. The audience was rolling in the aisles. And what a cast. M. Emmett Walsh, Mary Kay Place, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Fred Willard, Justin Long, and Jean Smart, all in one film. But "Youth in Revolt" is clearly a vehicle for Michael Cera. He portrays a wimpy teen (the appropriately named Nick Twisp) who, in order to win the girl of his dreams (Portia Doubleday, in a breakout role) must become a "bad boy" and break all the rules. Fans will not be disappointed. It's an all-around excellent comedy. Production values are top-notch and the film is sure to clean up at the box office.
