Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 8:30PM Two New Clips from Michael Cera's 'Youth in Revolt'
It was pushed from late October to early January, and at the time, I thought it was probably a bad move for The Weinstein Company. However, as trailers and commercials and now clips from Youth in Revolt have had more time and room to breathe, and now I think it probably has more recognition with potential opening weekend crowds.

I guess the studio is probably hoping for something along the lines of Michael Cera's Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which made about $35 million in the fall of 2008 against a very manageable budget. And it was only in theaters for two months, so that's not a bad total at all. An advantage it might have - emphasis on might - is that it's a comedy that aims younger than most of the other movies in theaters right now, and that includes some of the early January releases, too. Can it win on January 8th? No, I don't think so. But it doesn't have to so long as it gets a good start that can carry it through the month. And I think now it has a better chance than it would have at the end of October.
Cera plays that Michael Cera character again, but he's adding to it with his supplementary persona named Francois Dillinger. That's one of the new clips we have for you, along with another chestnut from the trailers featuring Jean Smart and Zach Galifianakis.

There's nothing opening wide this weekend, so Youth in Revolt is part of the next group of new movies, all of which open on January 8th.

Good ole' Zack will save this movie. Coming off a great performance that was recieved very well in The Hangover, I think a good amount of people will see this just because he is in it. Not saying that Cera isn't enjoyable to watch, just...not fresh (though perhaps having a "supplementary persona" will change that?). We all know what both of these actors bring to the table, and I'm eating off the Galifianakis plate first baby!
I like Zack, but i'm not sure he will do the part well as he features great acting and dramatic skills.
