Critics Consensus: It may not entirely do its source material justice, but Miguel Arteta's Youth in Revolt is a fun, funny comic romp that lets Michael Cera stretch a little and introduces filmgoers to a major find in Portia Doubleday.

The tone throughout is moderately quirky rather than full-on teen-flick vulgarian, bolstered by indie-cred cameos.
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.
I love this new breed of dirty movie. It goes beyond leering, beyond sexism, to the core tension of a culture that ricochets between Puritanism and promiscuity. And it has in Michael Cera a sterling mascot.
A clever and often riotous burst of cynicism that pushes, let's face it, some pretty questionable ideas.
Cera may be trapped in his unchanging persona, but no more than this picture is walled in by its sitcom conventions.
Youth in Revolt is a teen fantasy filled with lust, imagination, frustration and lots of laughs, artfully made and superbly played.
All in all, Youth in Revolt is quite simply an unremarkable film.
A funny, if hardly revolutionary, new entry in the teen sex comedy genre.
But all the silliness reminds us that there is no age limit on expressing your confident inner vixen - especially in these uneasy times.
Miguel Arteta furnishes the film with fantasy sequences - such as one involving stop-motion miniature models - that are more contrived than inspired.
An uneven story and crass comedy could leave viewers revolted.
Michael Cera adopts a mischievous alter ego in an attempt to reunite with his dream girl in a familiarly peculiar story.
Super Reviewer
Milquetoast Michael Cera as a pencil-mustache-sportin' evil alter ego is entertaining enough, but the rest of the boy-ruins-his-life-for-a-girl story is pretty banal and quite tame surprisingly. Portia Doubleday as Sheeni isn't much of a siren either, but Rooney Mara looks satisfyingly hot and mean. The part with Adhir Kalyan from "Rules of Engagement" in his skivvies is funny.
A cracking indy coming of age movie with the ever so funny Michael Cera. Really did not no what i was going to get here but it turns out to been a very funny and surreal comedy.Its when Cera French auter ego takes over that Cera really shines. All surrporting cast are so good with justin long adding a little fun too. This is a pleasant surprise and worth checking out.There are many laughs to have here.
A dark satirical comedy. it took me a little bit to warm up to it but once I did I really enjoyed it.
