This is the second trailer for Youth in Revolt, the red-band version that doesn’t cut out the swears. The plot of Youth in Revolt is pretty simple: Michael Cera is a sensitive puss who can’t get laid, so he grows a Tyler Durden-like split personality who’s awesome because he cusses and acts a total dick to everyone. Have we seen this before? Of course — at least twice in Jim Carrey movies alone. But who cares? This has some of the best one-liners since Kenny Powers.
“You get aroused easily? Don’t stop, Frank. For all we know, my vagina could be moist with desire as we speak.”
“I’ve created a supplemental persona named Francois Dillinger.”
“So what is your plan, sh-thead? I’m gonna help you stick your filthy d-ck in this tomato.”
“I’m gonna wrap your legs around my head and wear you like the crown that you are.”
What a coincidence, my Tyler Durden-style alter ego also stuck his d-ck in a tomato. When my mom asked what I was doing I just screamed “PROJECT MAYHEM!” and dove out the window.
Youth in Revolt stars Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, and Justin Long, with Michael Cera in the lead. I always get people in the comments complaining about Michael Cera sucking, or playing the same character over and over, but what can I say, he still cracks me up. Especially when he’s playing his own mustachio’d evil twin. I’ve read he was the only actor allowed to ad lib on the set of Arrested Development, which makes sense, he has impeccable timing. Unlike someone I know. (*points to crotch*)
Opens January 8th.
