Rated 0.0/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 90 min.
This coming-of-age comedy puts a fresh and outrageous stamp on a tale of adolescent obsession and rebellion. Starring Michael Cera (SUPERBAD, the Oscar-winning JUNO) and based on the acclaimed novel by C.D. Payne, YOUTH IN REVOLT is the story of Nick Twisp—a distinctively affable teen with a taste for the finer things in life, including Sinatra and Fellini—who falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday) while on a family vacation. But family, geography and jealous ex-lovers conspire to keep these two apart. Encouraged by Sheeni, Nick abandons his dull, predictable life and develops a rebellious alter ego: Francois. With his ascot, his moustache and his cigarette, Francois will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni, which leads Nick Twisp on a path of destruction with unpredictable and uproarious consequences.
