Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a socially awkward teen, who meets a local girl and fall in love with her. He tries many methods to make them be together in one place, without regards to the potential consequences of their strange and reckless action.I think "Youth in Revolt" is quite interesting, is focused on the well behaved nerdy guy. He has an altered ego telling him to keep displaying antisocial comments and acts, so they can get expelled by the school. Surprise, the new school is further away, and more mishaps occur.Honestly I did not find the film very funny. There has been a few jokes which I liked, but the comedic material is far and in between. There are many minor characters which I got confused as to who they are, and how they relate to the story.

irishfellow12 This film was very very enjoyable, and told the story of teenage romance, and teenage stories.Although the story is quite unbelievable, I still enjoyed it very much, and found it quite humorous. I would definitely watch this film again, because it is one of those films which really make you laugh and how stupid teenagers can be. Not only did I (a teenager myself) enjoy this film - but the adults in the house did too! If you are looking for a funny, silly story then watch this, for sure!Enjoyable, and highly rated film, telling a story of love, chasing, teenage mishappening and overall madness!

ineverov90 This film was a big thrill for me. i did not expect it to be so good. It is a unique flick. I like it boldness, in terms where screenwriters can take u. It reminded me of Kevin Smiths film Red State which based itself on giving the viewer what he expected the least. I advise this film to all because it such a fun break from all the sequels, prequels and other clichéd garbage Hollywood feed us now days.Cast did a good job transitioning book into movie, Cers's best performance(also great in Scott Pilgrimm vs the World) I watched this film never knowing it is based on the book, bet your ass i'm gonna read it now.it is my first review, the only other film that i wanted to write review for is In Bruges, but it is already received pretty good and this movie is underrated for some reason. Sorry for my bad English, i am Russian.

jotix100 Nick Twisp is a rarity among his peers. He might appear to be a nerd, but it is refreshing that he shows an interest for art films, especially French movies, past, or present. He sticks out like a sore thumb among the people in his class. Secretly, he pines for the one girl that he might not even have a chance to make it: Sheeny, the great looking young woman. To his amazement, Cheeney happens to like the same things as Nick, which goes to show the luck of some guys like Nick.Nick comes from a broken home. Her mother, Estelle, is living with Jerry, a man much younger than her, when we first meet her. Nick's father, George, is a loser. He is also presently involved with a bimbo and who knows her reasons for staying with the man. Nick wants Sheeny in the worst way. Her upright religious parents are not exactly elated when they find out their daughter shows an interest in Nick.When Shenny decides to go to an all French school, Nick is crushed. He has to find a way to prevent that to happen, but instead, he gets involved in a horrible situation that ends up in a small tragedy when through his actions, a fire is started in a central property in town, with the loss of several million dollars, but with the help Lance, the policeman sent over to interview him, he gets away with being arrested as the cop and Estelle become romantically involved.Nick's way to cope with his situation is to try to do everything possible to get Shenny get back to his town, but his strategy backfires when his alter ego, who is just the opposite of him, decides to play a couple of tricks that result in Sheeny being expelled from the tony school.Directed by Miguel Arteta, the man behind "The Good Girl", and "Cedar Rapids", he takes a different approach in how to stage a film that is basically targeted for a younger audience. The film is based on a novel by C.D. Payne we have not read and the screen adaptation was written by Gustin Nash with amazing results. Mr. Arteta succeeds in presenting Nick, a young man who in other director's hands would have been made into a caricature, and here he is given some dignity in the way he comes out on the screen. Michael Cera is a personable actor who has been involved in some good films, "Juno" among them, showing a range in his acting. Above all, he is never obnoxious, or in your face kind of person in any of the things we have watched him do. He is asked to play his normal self and his sophisticated, and more mature alter ego, Francois Dillinger, alternating easily between the roles.His main interest is Portia Doubleday, a new face in movies targeted for a young audience. Also in the cast, veterans Jean Marsh, Ray Liotta, Mary Kay Place, M. Emmett Walsh, Fred Willard, Zach Galifianakis and Steve Buscemi, who has nothing to do in the film. The film is light and must be seen for what it is so it will be enjoyed by its own merits.
