Youth in Revolt (15)

08 February 2010

WHILE his trailer trash parents teeter on the edge of divorce, teenager Nick Twisp meets the girl of his dreams while on a family holiday and has to turn his life, and the lives of all those around him, upside down in order to be with her.

Michael Cera is Nick in coming-of-age comedy YOUTH IN REVOLT (15). Justin Long, Steve Buscemi and Ray Liotta also star.

The film is based on CD Payne's novel and producer David Permut says: "Nick is an intellectual and knowledgeable well beyond his years. He's like an alien on a distant planet populated by his mother, his father, his stepdad and this eclectic group of people.

"His quest is to find the key to the door to get out of this environment."

Cera is a big fan of the book: "I was around the age of the main character when I read it, and I completely related to it. Anyone who was ever a teenager could relate to it, especially if you had a romantic interest that somehow drove you crazy.
