The movie is too busy trying to be artistic to succeed in actually being funny.

Almost painfully unfunny, Youth in Revolt is just another step in the downward progression of Michael Cera. I like Cera, and will, at least for a while, continue to see his movies. Youth in Revolt, however, was not good. Cera was playingAlmost painfully unfunny, Youth in Revolt is just another step in the downward progression of Michael Cera. I like Cera, and will, at least for a while, continue to see his movies. Youth in Revolt, however, was not good. Cera was playing what is basically the only character he is ever asked to play, many of the people I was interested in seeing had disappointingly small roles (Zach Galifianakis, Fred Willard), and the plot was surprisingly dull. Portia Doubleday's character was painfully annoying, and I had absolutely no vesting interest in seeing what happened to any of the characters. In addition, there were a couple of distractingly out-of-place animated sequences that, albeit short, were nonetheless distracting. The only thing keeping this from being worse than a 3/10 is the fact that I've seen movies that weren't just bad, but flagrantly offensive to my sensibilities. Youth in Revolt was merely bad.… Expand

God I hate this movie so much, Cera sucks! Even with the cast that features Steve Bucemi, Zach Galifinakis,Fred Willard and Ray Lolita, it still sucked! the plot was terrible, the jokes were not funny, I just wanted to shoot myself throughoutGod I hate this movie so much, Cera sucks! Even with the cast that features Steve Bucemi, Zach Galifinakis,Fred Willard and Ray Lolita, it still sucked! the plot was terrible, the jokes were not funny, I just wanted to shoot myself throughout the entire thing. I watched all of it to see if something good happened but NOTHING! Do yourself a favour and watch a GOOD Michael Cera movie like Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. but don't watch this… Expand

In the referenced film "A bit de souffle", a fugitive on the lam, Michel Poiccard(Jean-Paul Belmondo), hunts through the newspaper for coverage of the motorcycle cop he had recently shot to death, because that's what a felon would do In the referenced film "A bit de souffle", a fugitive on the lam, Michel Poiccard(Jean-Paul Belmondo), hunts through the newspaper for coverage of the motorcycle cop he had recently shot to death, because that's what a felon would do back in 1959 to stay informed. But it's not there, yet, so Michel reconfigures the pages of media ephemera for a slapdash shoeshine. Half-a-century later, there's no paper to crush after Nick Twist(Michael Cera) becomes an accidental arsonist, as "Youth in Revolt" pays homage to "A bout de souffle" without being slavishly imitative about it(i.e. it doesn't self-consciously refer to the old media so prevalent in the French New Wave classic). Known as "Breathless" to the English-speaking world, Nick becomes Belmondo to impress Sheeni(Portia Doubleday), who improbably lives in a trailer park and shares his geeky passion for old movies. Whereas Michel had his persona molded by watching Humphrey Bogart movies, Nick, too, creates an alter-ego, and makes himself more attractive to his own modern-day Patricia Franchini(Jean Seberg). When the virgin manages to seduce Sheeni in a private school dorm room, he does so with the help of Francois, as both his masculine(the alter-ego) and feminine(himself) sides work in tandem to ingratitate the reconstructed self into her bed. (Six years following "A bout de souffle", this filmmaker made "Masculin/feminin".) Sharing, perhaps, the same deadpan comic sensibility as Wes Anderson's "Rushmore", both serious-minded comedies demonstrate how a taste in the vintage arts can lead to a loveless existence. (Max was into British Invasion rock.) To Nick's amazing fortune, he meets an old soul like himself, who just happens to know that "Tokyo Story" was an Ozu film, not Kurosawa. In the film's best joke, this careless cineaste probably thinks "Breathless" was directed by Francois Truffaut.… Expand

Great love story gone awry story. Worth watching if you like Michael Cera. If you don't like him, you won't like this movie as the story revolves around him. My expectations were exceeded.

The whole feel to the movie, not taking anything seriously, along with the ending, made it a great movie to watch.

Cera looks young as always, but delivers two very funny and very solid performances. His role as Francois especially is quite unexpected and wholly welcomed by me. Although I was one of the few laughing in the theaters, I was laughing the whole way through.… Expand

Uneven film, but it's saved mostly for the cast. Michael Cera is the Ã¼ber-nerd of Hollywood and this movie knows how to use him. His deadpan is priceless.
