Mini-Review
Youth in Revolt is slow and quirky and often misguided. Though I watched the movie, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to take away from it. Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is an intelligent high school student who likes foreign films and Frank Sinatra. He, his mom, and her boyfriend Jerry (Zach Galifianakis) move out of Oakland for a while to take some heat off Jerry. While away, Nick meets Sheeni (Portia Doubleday), a beautiful girl who likes everything he does. They fall for each other. Then Nick invents an alter-ego named Francois Dillinger, whose intention is to get Nick kicked out off the house (after they move back to Oakland) so that he can live with his dad to be closer to Sheeni. To be honest, it’s been a while since I watched this movie and can’t remember exactly why any of this is necessary. Youth in Revolt is an unremarkable film.
