youth in revolt.

I just came back from watching this movie and I must say, well done! It reminded me a little of "Juno", and that's a wicked awesome movie too. Just the style, the acting, the actors, it was all very simple and very effective. It's basically about a 16 year old kid going through great lengths to be with a twat. Basically.

**SPOILERS**

One of my favorite parts of that movie was the title sequence. Stop motion FTW! I loved it! Michael Cera is super creepy in stop motion mode, but it was still pretty cool. They did that several times throughout the movie, but different styles. They had picture cut out animation at one point. At another where he's totally tripping balls, they had a cool 2D animated porno sequence. That was a good scene. Not because of the porno. Then at the end credits they had another, really short and sweet piece. The animations we're great. Overall, it just gave the movie a really good feel.

I didn't know Justin Long was in that movie, so that was a big surprise. He definitely added a bit of awesome to it. Another surprise, Steve Buscemi! He played the dad with the slutty girlfriend. Pretty gross, she wasn't all that great looking herself. Either way she ran away with Paul (Justin Long) so they can create knarly looking children together. Cera's Francois Dillinger character was amazing. A little creepy looking with the mustache and colored lenses and all, but SO FUNNY! It's also a little mind blowing thinking that Cera totally pulled off that kind of character. I'm always used to him playing the same kind of guy in every movie, so this was a major difference and very awesome!

In all honesty I thought that Sheeni girl that Cera's character was obsessed with was a total nincompoop. It makes me glad that I'm not 16 anymore. First of all, pretending you have a boyfriend is just sad. Same goes for the other side. Just don't do it. It's lame and it makes you look like an idiot. Second, her taste in dogs is horrendous. There's a little black dog that Cera get's her and you know what? I'm not going to get into that. It was unfortunate looking, just take my word for it.

Anyways, I loved this movie. I can't wait until it comes out on bluray. I'm all over it. The story was hilarious and by the time the movie ended, in my head there was a soft, disappointed "noooo..." I definitely recommend it to everyone. It's funny. Who doesn't love funny movies. If you don't think it's funny go watch "The Fast and the Furious".
