Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

Back in 2006, when Michael Cera was cast as Nick Twisp in Dimension Films’ adaptation of C. D. Payne’s epic 1993 coming-of-age novel, Youth In Revolt, it was, he said, a dream come true — the chance to portray a cult hero of US teen fiction who was “exactly like me! This kid with the cynical world-view of an old man!”

Although ultra-absurdist, over-literate and pathologically priapic, Payne’s 500- page picaresque was ideal adaptation material because no matter how ludicrous Twisp’s misadventures became, they were all in the service of a classic teen dilemma: how far should a nice guy go to win over someone who’s tired of nice guys? Who knew that in 2010, Twisp’s dilemma would perfectly mirror Cera’s own?

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

Thanks to Arrested Development, Superbad et al, Michael Cera is the poster boy for geek-chic awkwardness.

On the evidence of this coming-of-age comedy, it doesn’t look like he’s giving up that payday schtick anytime soon. But after the turkey that was Year One, at least the lad is back on his game as apathetic teen virgin Nick Twisp, who hopes to pop his cherry and escape life with Ma (Jean Smart) and her oik boyfriend (Zach Galifianakis).
