Michael Cera is a "Youth in Revolt"

[MadVillainy]

"Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a cynical sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), an intellectual. The only things really standing in his way are Sheeni's poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent, (Jonathan B. Wright) Nick's temperamental divorced parents (Steve Buscemi and Jean Smart), and Nick's mom's boyfriends (Zach Galifianakis and Ray Liotta)." (source: wikipedia)



Now I personally think Cera is getting oversaturated. He was funny in Superbad but I'm tired of him always getting cast as the awkward teenager. However I think this movie kind of looks funny. I mean he wants to be tougher so he names an ego called "Francois"? I think this will be like Observe and Report it'll help be see Cera in a different light, like O&R did with Seth Rogen, but I dont think this film will make alot of money or even be that well received

Eh. The Michael Cera part was annoying and when it switched to Francois, it felt forced. It's not like Jim Carey in Me Myself, and I were you believe it's two different people. It feels like Cera uncomfortably trying too hard to not saying something sarcastic.

Funny end scene with the car.

If you've read the book it actually makes a little more sense. Francois is this sort of forced alter ego of Nick.

Honestly Cera did look a bit out of his comfort zone in this. But I cannot see this film being popularly recieved if they kept a lot of the key elements from the book.
