Youth in Revolt

Youth in Revolt
Based on the novel Youth in Revolt by C.D. Payne, screenplay by Gustin Nash, directed by Miguel Arteta.
Michael Cera. Portia Doubleday. Zach Galifinakis.

Let me begin by saying that I have never been a fan of the "immature adolescent attempts to engage in sexual intercourse", I have also never been a huge fan of the "Michael Cera"; however, despite those flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed Youth in Revolt.
I think that what makes this movie different is that it is intelligent. While most teen comedies seem like they are written for pixie-stick snorting cromagnons, Youth in Revolt manages to break the mold with clever quirky jokes, obscure film and music references and dialogue sporting big words, like "unsolicited" and "arson" (just kidding). Another great thing is that the movie utilizes a mostly indie soundtrack that (unlike films like Juno) actually makes sense and sets a mood.
The only downside I can think of at the moment is that the teens speak like 48 year old british aristocrats, which was annoying for the first 5-10 minutes, but it grew on me and became comical as the movie progressed.
I have no intention of revealing any plotlines or jokes in this review, but I will tell you; go watch this movie, it's good. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed Youth in Revolt, and Francois Dillinger is quite possibly my new favorite person.
3 1/2 stars!
