Movie Preview: Michael Cera in Youth in Revolt
I haven't read the book on which Youth in Revolt is based, so there are more than a few parts of this trailer that are lost on me. Still, it keeps my attention and the questions I have are ones that I think will actually propel me to see the movie, rather than make me want to avoid it. It's a bizarre-looking story about Nick Twisp (Michael Cera), a cynical teenager who decides that Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday) is the girl of his dreams, and he'll do anything to win her heart.

Teens Rule — At the Movies, Anyway
Maybe it's the massive success of shows like Gossip Girl and The O.C.. Maybe it's because Juno was so endearing and filmmakers are desperate to make "the next Juno." Maybe it is, as I mused in my review of the documentary American Teen, simply that people are often interested in stories about teenagers because everyone can relate to the experience of going through adolescence.
Michael Cera to Play Yet Another Awkward Teen
Clearly, I'm not the only one who can't seem to get enough of the gawky, geeky Michael Cera.
