Youth in Revolt Dir. Miguel Arteta

[Dimension Films; 2010]

Styles: Michael Cera plays Michael Cera
Others: Michael Cera

I flipped through C.D. Payne’s Youth in Revolt in Powell’s last August, but decided to forgo Holden Caulfield in flip flops for William T. Vollmann smoking crack with prostitutes. So I didn’t read the book before seeing the movie. The premise of a socially inept, overeducated white kid from Berkeley trying to get laid sounded more promising as 2 hours of cinema than as 600 pages of text.
