Did we miss something on diversity? Suggest an update Youth in Revolt. For Sheeni, who speaks as if influenced by "Juno," virginity is a once-touching affectation, and Nick Twisp is oh so eager to join her in this opinion. But there are many obstacles to their bliss, worst of all his family's tragic return home.
Both parents all but flaunt their lovers before poor Nick; at Restless Axles. His mom asks Nick to clean up after dinner while she and Jerry after his post-prandial burp retire to the bedroom a few feet away for noisy rumpy-pumpy. Sheeni's parents have much less screen time, so they're cast to make an immediate impression. Try to imagine M. Emmet Walsh and Mary Kay Place as your parents. Nick is desperate to be reunited with Sheeni, tries to float reasons he needs to take a trip right way, and really inadvertently honest sets in motion an explosive chain of events.
Cera's style lends itself to one note, and the movie wisely gives him another character to play, an imaginary alter ego named Francois Dillinger, inspired by Jean-Paul Belmondo. Of course Nick would know who Belmondo is. I'd believe him even if he were inspired by Jean Gabin. In this role, he has a mustache and smokes, but true to character, his mustache is wispy, and he always smokes like it's his first cigarette.
It's often observed that comedy never works if an actor signals that he's just said something funny. I don't know if Michael Cera can do that. It requires such bold assertion. You'd get suicidal trying to get him to laugh at a joke. This passiveness is why he's funnier than Jack Black , for example, in their movie " Year One. He knows how he feels, he knows what he wants, but he'd need a map to get from A to B.
