Youth In Revolt

Review:     3 Stars     Rated:     R

Its not how you apply the sunblock to the pretty girl, its how long you take before you get burnt.   Nick, is the “I’m going to die a virgin” geek, in which he finally finds a girl that is interested in him.

Boy meets girl, girl makes boy do bad things. Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) plays a 135lb teenager thats in love with the only girl that has ever paid any attention to him. Nick is doing everything and anything he can to be close to Sheeni Saunders, the girl (Portia Doubleday). Nick creates an alternate persona with a bad ass attitude in order to get what he’s after, and at the same time is trying to lose something, if you get the meaning.

LOL, I’d be sticking my fingers in my ears and saying “lalalalalalala” at the conversations between Nick and his friend Lefty if I was in the same room with them. This is a silly and funny film which is geared towards a younger crowed. All this for a girl, but Wait For The DVD, unless you have a hot date and can’t say no.
