I typically don't care to see teen comedy movies such as "Youth in Revolt", but for some reason I thought that it looked very funny from the trailers and I liked the idea of the split personality. There were indeed some funny parts to this movie, but not enough for me to give a really glowing review.
It was decent, which is why I rated it as a six, or, "slightly above average, but I really thought it could have been better. First off, I have a real problem with the original motive which is a concern throughout most of the movie; that being the desire to lose one's virginity through any means necessary. Why? Why have that such a focal point? I don't really think teenagers as so concerned with it these days. Sure, everyone wants to lose their virginity sometime in their life, but I think people know it will come when it does and have no need to make some kind of "American Pie" pact of needing to lose it as soon as possible.
Beyond the whole virgin thing, I also wished they would have spent more time with Francois and the interaction between him and Nick. Those were the funniest parts of the movie and it was neat to see those two characters face situations.
I don't typically like films of this genre, but I did like this one, so I think that does say something positive about "Youth in Revolt". If you typically like movies of this genre I think you'll like this quite a bit.
