Two “Youth in Revolt” Movie Poster

Youth In Revolt, directed by Miguel Arteta, based on C.D. Payne’s 1993 novel, follows Nick Twisp (Michael Cera), a cynical, sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets and falls in love with beautiful, intellectual teen rebel Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday).

The only things standing in the way of the consummation of  Nick’s  first love is Sheeni’s poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent (Jonathan B. Wright) and her religious zealot parents (M. Emmett Walsh and Mary Kay Place) .
