Youth In Revolt Trailer #2

Published on November 27, 2009 by Martyn Conterio · View Comments

A new trailer has landed for Michael Cera’s split-personality comedy Youth in Revolt. The film’s premise is pretty quirky and involves a lovelorn geek inventing a new persona – Francois Dillinger – in order to bag the girl, he thinks is “the one”.

With its timid loser finding inner strength through mischief, it comes across as a teenage version of Fight Club (and that’s no bad thing). Co-starring Justin Long and Zack Galifianakis, Youth in Revolt, looks a likely prospect for best black comedy of 2010. Will Francois Dillinger enter film history as the 21st century’s Tyler Durden? Only time will tell. Either way, it’s a great name.
