Youth in Revolt

The dialoge in this script is phenomenal. I never use the word Phenom, but a lot of words that aren't typically used are thrown around in this film and it is hilarious. I keep re-hearing Vijay saying, "It isn't a salient concern." Who says that at age 16?! I loved the intellectuality of the conversations between the nerdy friends! This film reinforces that desire in me to use the English language to its absolute fullest. Michael Cera is always plays brilliantly the nerdy outcast in some dilemma usually dealing with coming of age, and this film doesn't differ. He is trying to lose his virginity but falls in love in the process. However, his French alter-ego, Francois, shows a different side to Cera's otherwise colloquial geekiness. However, this nerd was hardly pedestrian. Although, in the end, he claims that he got the "girl to fall in love with Nick Twisp." I loved this film so much that I watched it twice within a 24 hour time period. The first time much funnier, the second, I wanted to focus on the dialogue to hear what I missed when I was laughing the first time. This is Napolean Dynamite-esque without the extreme campy characters. These characters are smart.

I give it an 8.
