YOUTH IN REVOLT: OVERALL REVOLTING Poor Michael Cera. How many more years must he endure before completing puberty?! He plays Nick Twisp a nerd and geek whose name is just as awkward as he is. He falls in "love" with the girl far out of his league, Sheenie (Portia Doubleday) but he actually somewhat impresses her and in order to keep her 
interest he comes up with an alternate ego, rather an "id", Francois who is bad enough to do the things Nick wouldn't dare. Aside from knowing that Cera really has the market on adolescent gawkiness, the movie had some high points in dialogue, but otherwise got lost on the trip to the ice cream store. The movie is full of teen angst as well as some high power names, but that doesn't help it from falling apart. I give it marks for trying; unfortunately they are barely passing.
