Disposable, consciously hip, forgettable film

"In the movies the good guy gets the girl. In real life it's usually the prick."

From the outset, it's clear that there's something a tad skewiff about 2010's Youth in Revolt. It's not that the movie is excruciating or fatally flawed, but it suffers from an uneven tone, blunt satire, comedy which rarely provokes more than feeble giggles, and shallow, unrealistic lead characters.

Entertaining coming of age comedy...

Over the years there have been many teen romantic comedies with many predictable consequences and I thought that this was just going to be one of those. I mean, it surprisingly isn't as predictable as the trailer made it look. The film has a bit more depth than just romance between a young man and a young woman but when there are two characters who are really the same person with two different nam... read more

Cliches all the way. Nice but not so brilliant. Michael Cera does all the hard work.

"12.04.2013 "I want to tickle your bellybutton... from the inside." I'm one of the people that still think Michael Cera is hilarious, even if he seems to play the same character over and over again. But most comedians do that so i don't get why everyone specifically get's on Cera's case about it. And in this movie he does play a very different character than he usually does. I like this movie. Cera is very good in it and so is the supporting cast. There are a lot of small roles from very funny "

"5.3. DVD Alkaa hyvin ärsyttävästi kohtauksella, jossa Michael Cera runkkaa ja kertoo kertojaäänellä tykkäävänsä Frank Sinatrasta ja olevansa neitsyt ja muutenkin ihan vitun hipster. Ilahduin kuitenkin, että elokuva ei kerrokaan siitä, että Cera yrittää saada unelmiensa tyttöystävää itselleen näyttämällä erilaiselta, vaan sen sijaan hän vain luo päänsä sisällä alter egon itselleen, jonka vain hän voi nähdä. Tämä tuo ihan hauskaa omituisuutta hahmoon ja hän oike"

When Critics and Audiences Disagree (151 movies items)

"Critics: 66% Audiences: 52% 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."
