Synopsis
The brilliant Michael Cera - from Superbad and Juno - stars in this entertainingly odd comedy based on CD Payne's cult novel. He plays the eccentric teenager Nick Twisp, who meets and falls in love with the complicated Sheeni, who is just as convinced as he is that the past was much cooler. Needing to be more daring to meet Sheeni's orders, Nick develops a bad boy alter ego, Francois Dillinger, who quickly gets him into big trouble. Cera is perfect for the double role, and it's a film with a style all of its own.
