Michael Cera plays an awkward teenager who can't get laid...wait isn't that the plot of his last movie? Actually it's the plot for almost every movie he's ever made. This one however manages to put a little twist on that plot by having the girl really like him a lot. They're love is destined to be difficult when they are continuously separated by distance and circumstance.
Cera's alter ego, Francois, is a bad boy and gives him a chance to show that he can be a little more than a kinda strange geeky guy.
The movie has a great cast, including Fred Willard, Zach Galifinakis, Ray Liotta, Steve Buschemi and more. They each lend their great comedic talent to the film.
It starts to feel too long half way through, but picks up the pace and the laughs again quickly. The strained, sometimes forced sounding intelligence of the youths in the film borders on over the top, but Cera manages to pull it off because it's sort of expected from him.
I liked the movie but didn't love it. I laughed quite a bit, but it's not the funniest of movies. I'd say it's an average comedy, but if you're a Cera fan, you'll enjoy getting you're fix of his cute nerdiness.
