Youth in Revolt Reviews

Full Review | Original Score: B

Michael Cera adopts a mischievous alter ego in an attempt to reunite with his dream girl in a familiarly peculiar story.

Full Review

Playing on feelings and impulses that I'm sure we all relate to, a witty and playful portrait of teen love emerges out of a less exciting teen comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Nick Twisp is no Scott Pilgrim, but this is another witty ensemble comedy that successfully reinvigorates that most benighted of genres, the teen film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Story of "bad-boy" teen is funny, but also rough and raw.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

...an engaging and faithful adaptation of Payne's admittedly superior novel.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Deviates from the teen comedy norm and becomes something darker, edgier, and more unexpectedly funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Makes early claims for the best comedy of 2010.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Cera's hilarious performance as a modern day Holden Caulfield makes Youth in Revolt a must-see for any fan of hipster comedies.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

In an irreverent and adorable coming-to-maturity story, Michael Cera displays versatility in a dual role.

Full Review

It's chaotic and episodic, but this is Cera's star turn. Superbad meets Fight Club? That'll do it.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

The tone throughout is moderately quirky rather than full-on teen-flick vulgarian, bolstered by indie-cred cameos.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A treat for Cera fans and an amusing diversion for the rest of us. Especially those of us happy to laugh at our inner pretentious teenager.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

In a wickedly witty dual role in the funniest teen flick in a long time, Cera finally seems to loosen up and have some fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It is very silly, and it may take you some time to tune in to the giggle wavelength. Once you have, it's very funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A regularly ribtickling but ultimately unsatisfying ride into the realms of teen angst - but one that showcases the undoubted talents of Michael Cera when he has the opportunity to play against type.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A fresh, funny take on the classic coming-of-age tale, and a chance for Cera to show us what he's made of.

| Original Score: 4/5

If you're looking for constant chuckles, memorable scenes, quirky dialogue and hilarious characters then get youthful, get some sweeties and get involved.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Whimsical, saucy, funny and achingly embarrassing, this is a beguiling if derivative goodboy- spins-out farce. But Cera really should make this his dweeb swansong lest he outstay his welcome.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Gustin Nash's script takes several well-aimed pot shots at typical teen-movie conventions, but has the tendency to occasionally wallow in the crude humour of the American Pie films.
