Youth in Revolt

[talion]

Kind of a strange mix of characters, where the kids talk like erudite socialites and the adults like ignorant slobs, while the main characters' emotional insecurity is contrasted against his inner alter ego's complete disregard for anybody. It comes across as a little strained at times.

That being said, the story of this kid's willingness to do anything to win the girl and lose his virginity can be pretty funny in spots, but it's a bit uneven. These are also kids that are clearly not in touch with what we would perceive to be normal teenagers. It's kind of edgy though. I give it a C+/B-
