	Media	Author	Review
		Tom Long Detroit News	"Michael Cera corrupts Michael Cera (...) a teen fantasy filled with lust, imagination, frustration and lots of laughs"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's a bitch telling a coming-of-age story minus clichés and sappiness. So Youth in Revolt, with Michael Cera in his best performance yet, is a small miracle (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"From The Catcher in the Rye to Rushmore, it's a story we've seen in better versions before (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Cera and his gifted comic co-stars elevate the mediocre source material into a semi-iconic coming-of-age story"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is very silly, and it may take you some time to tune in to the giggle wavelength. Once you have, it's very funny (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Male Empire	"It's chaotic and episodic, but this is Cera's star turn. 'Superbad' meets 'Fight Club'? That'll do it. (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
