Youth in Revolt (2009)
Sunday 7:30, Regal 4
Based on the bestselling novel by C.D. Payne, this hilariously twisted coming-of-age film stars Michael Cera as the pretentious Nick Twisp. Nick is cursed with a terminal case of virginity and white trash parents who force the family into a trailer park to avoid an angry mob of sailors. Nick is trapped until he meets the beautiful Sheeni, who lives in a two-story trailer nearby. To win her love, Nick creates the perfect alter-ego: blue-eyed, mustached, notorious badboy Francois Dillinger. But when Francois makes Nick into a wanted criminal, everything spins out of control. Directed by Miguel Arteta, this uproarious comedy is filled with an all-star cast of comic greats including Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, and Zach Galifianakis.
