The Daily Movie Wallpaper
Sunday, January 10, 2009
After big launches in 2009 at the AFI and Toronto International Film Festival, Youth in Revolt, is now out in US theaters. It’s a fun, rebellious coming of age movie that is one of the first must see movies of 2010. This also marks breakout performances by Adhir Kalyan (who will be starring in upcoming high school stoner comedy, High School) as Vijay Joshi and Michael Cera as his alter ego, Francois Dillinger. Kalyan brings what normally would be a one dimensional role to life and in many instances nearly steals every scene that he is in. With Cera as Dillinger, he finally gets to blaze (and does so extremely well) past his lovable outsider characters to one that is much more cultivated, dark and nuanced.
If you are in Austin this is currently showing at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz Downtown (info) where you will see a hilarious 30 minute pre-show for it that you won’t get anywhere else. Also be sure to check out Rodney’s review (here).
