Youth in Denial

Hey, being a nerd is kinda chic nowadays. In fact, I think that I may have pinpointed what I dislike about this movie. Michael Cera IS cool, so why should he have to change into some non-hip assinine version of himself to be liked?
I guess because otherwise, he’s out of character options.
Youth in Revolt is not a bad movie. In fact, it’s probably a better movie than half the crap we’re going to be forced to sit through this Valentine’s Day. But something about it didn’t sit right with me, and it might just have been it’s slightly inaccessible humour and the fact that Michael Cera was bearing far too much of the comedic brunt.
