In an effort to show the world that he does not only play the same role in movies, Michael Cera does just that. He plays Nick Twisp, a wimpy, confidence-impaired teenager who has an alter ego who helps him in being a bad boy. So Cera is not just playing a different role, he is playing TWO different roles.
The movie is funny throughout, and is probably Michael Cera at his best. I would definitely watch this movie again. But would I buy it on DVD? It would have to be cheap. The screenplay was excellently written, and also very well executed. The acting was also on the ball as far as the whole cast--not just the key players. Cera's lines are delivered in the same way that makes the whole world fall in love with him over and over again. It is believable, and a story that many teenage boys can relate to. I just don't think that it is MY type of movie. But hey--maybe it's one of those films that gets better every time you watch it. That's how a lot of comedies are with me.
Overall Grade: B
