Trailer!: Youth in Revolt

POSTED: Thursday, August 27, 2009, 5:12 PM

Filed Under: Movies trailer!

Youth in Revolt was one of those adolescent books that binds you to whoever else read it ' like Francesca Lia Block books or finding that other disaffected girl who found their mom's dog-eared copy of The Bell Jar. So when I heard Michael Cera was set to take on YiR protagonist Nick Twisp, I was worried.Twisp doesn't have the awkward affability that makes Cera so likable, from Arrested Development to Superbad to Juno. Twisp is much darker and sardonic than Cera, making this the first time Cera isn't playing "Cera." But this trailer gives me hope, especially when we get to see Francois Dillinger for the first time. I'm jazzed to see Adhir Kalyan who was the best part of both Paul Blart: Mall Cop and the second best part of Fired Up!, two movies that superficially shouldn't have best parts but do. Plus, can you go wrong with Zach Galifinakis? I think not.

P.S.: If you ever want to feel like an angsty teen, read Youth in Revolt. You will so not regret it.
