Youth in Revolt is another teen comedy take on the boy looking to lose his virginity. This time it's once again Michael Cera looking for some action, and we're introduced to the lovely Portia Doubleday. To begin with the latter. Portia is for sure a girl we'll see a lot more from in the years to come. She's most definitely got both a certain flair, as well as acting ability. She's by far the best part of this movie.
Because lets face it. Cera have done a lot of crap in between those good comedies. This one is very much on the crap end of the scale. It's hardly ever funny, it's lacks flow and there's no rhythm. What starts out with some charm and a hint of potential, is easily ruined over and over and over again during the last two-thirds of the movie. At least I was introduced to Portia Doubleday. There's a lot of crappy movies I've forgotten because they didn't even have an introduction going for them.
