Youth In Revolt (2010)

Another one from the Michael-Cera-is-head-over-heels story series, the movie is an adaptation of a novel like titled. Dark and murky comedy in a Fight Club kind of way. You will see the resemblance in the plot instantly. Schizophrenia might be a growing concern in this generation.

Michael Cera is now becoming a type-cast for awkward teenager roles (see Juno, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and Superbad) and yet I'm not tired. His next movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, another adaptation (from the comic book series) is worth anticipating and will probably be a blockbuster. And it's mainstream, for a change. Bonus points for the soundtrack.
