At 16, Nick Twisp is wry about his teen funk: he lives in Oakland with his sex-addled mother; his father's child support is her meal ticket. While camping in Ukiah, Nick meets Sheeni: for him, it's love at first sight. Nick has to figure out how to get his father a job in Ukiah, then how to get sent to live with his father, then how to get close to Sheeni, whose religious parents may want her sent away from temptation to a boarding school. There's also Sheeni's all-American boyfriend to contend with. Overwhelmed by the challenges, Nick's about to give up when he conjures an alter ego who whispers revolt into his ear. Nick is not altogether hapless, but can this end well?

Movie Reviews

ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 10/10 by John P. McCarthyThe tone is sweetly raucous, the acting accomplished, and the directing occasionally inventive, but 'Youth in Revolt' contains few surprises.
Movieline - 10/10 by Michelle OrangeA genial, shambling portrait of a first, obsessive infatuation.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 10/10 by Calvin WilsonBursting with smart dialogue, surprising situations and humor that springs from richly imagined characters.
Buzzine Magazine - 9/10 by Staci Layne WilsonDirector Miguel Arteta can't quite keep all the balls in the air long enough to sustain the film's running time, but he does manage a bang-up ending that's worth the wait.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderIt plays to Cera's strengths, which, though overly familiar at this point, are still strengths.
Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Tom MaurstadSome may find such elements desperate or calculated in their quirky-cuteness, but I think they add to the movie's efforts to evoke the surrealism and excruciating intensity of, as the title puts it, youth in revolt.
culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Scott Von DoviakThe heavy lifting falls to Cera, who can't quite carry the weight of his dual performance. - NERVE.COM
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumTiming is everything. And Youth in Revolt is late -- arriving not just at the tail end of the star's sell-by date for this particular kind of character, but more importantly at the tail end of the intended audience's attention span for an inconsequential Sundance-y tale of sexual coming-of-age.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole SmitheyCera's scenes with Ray Liotta, as a local cop dating Nick's mom, are priceless. He may not be Holden Caufield, but in this day and age Nick represents a fresh breeze of youthful rebellion.
NewsBlaze - 9/10 by Prairie MillerThis red state versus blue state daringly offbeat chucklefest elevates that notorious dumb and dumber genre known as teen comedy, into fresh and verbally tangy territory. Enough so, to easily earn this movie informal bragging rights as Juno II.
