Second Trailer for Michael Cera's 'Youth in Revolt'

In a year full of delayed or scrapped release dates, another 2009 casualty was The Weinstein Company's Youth in Revolt with Michael Cera. It was going to open October 30th, which was probably too close to a fairly active awards season for the studio - just guessing - so it was moved back to January. I have to confess, as bad as Year One was and as repetitive as Cera's performances have been over the years, this still looks pretty funny. It could be a case where all the good lines are in the trailer, but the dual personalities bit is kid tested, mother approved, so looking at the cast - Cera, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi - I'm willing to give this a pass in the entirely superficial trailer stage. The second trailer gives me a little more hope, simply because we're seeing more than the first one showed us, and it all still works.
