Youth in Revolt


Yesterday I saw Youth in Revolt. Francois Dillinger, first of all, might be the best name for an alter-ego ever, and his basis for existence (Jean-Paul Belmondo in Breathless... nice loafers!) beats any other basis for an alter-ego as well. This movie features pretty standard Cera moments of extreme awkwardness, like walking with his arms crossed in front of his body and his wrist bent like it's hanging from a hinge. Some lines border classic: "I want to tickle your belly-button... from the inside," and I have to say that Justin Long breathes some necessary "cool" fresh air (and long hair!) into the pic. If you want to enjoy an hour and a half at the movies, go see it. If you wanna wait till it's on instant Netflix that won't hurt you either.
