Movie#9 Youth in Revolt

A must watch for teen movie fans. It shows the extent to which a teen can go to claim the love of a girl. In the end it left me thinking whether he was actually seeking out love or vying for a chance to lose his virginity.
The movie starts in a great way. You shall observe it when you watch it. The dialogues are crisp and hilarious and narrative at the beginning. The casting is apt for such a movie. The hero (Michael Cera) nicely gets into character of a helpless, 'invisible' and bored teen. When he finally meets the girl he thinks he loves, he goes all out for me. To counter his shortcomings, he projects his alter ego and overcomes obstacles. The same alter ego also lands him in trouble. The girl uses her beauty to mesmerize him and uses him to achieve her dream. When he finally realizes that he was taken for a ride, he takes revenge on her. And finally everything is reconciled and he fulfills his dream/desire/goal.
Don't get me wrong. All the situations are portrayed hilariously and the spice is topped by his temporary Indian friend, Vijay Joshi (Adhir Kalyan). All said, this is worth the watch if you can get hold of this.
Personal rating would be 2.5 out of 5
