About a (cheese) souffle

Youth in Revolt

Crit
It's Fight Club for the adolescent set, only without the Big Surprise. (I know some would say Fight Club is Fight Club for the adolescent set, so to clarify: I mean that as a compliment.)

Michael Cera finally charmed me as he's supposed to, but the biggest pleasure for my generation come from three industry treasures: Mary Kay Place and M. Emmet Walsh as a fundamentalist couple with a weakness for magic mushrooms and Fred Willard in another of those roles that make sense only as a Fred Willard role. I must agree, though, with one remark in a pan by Anthony Lane, something to the effect that it should be a federal crime to waste Steve Buscemi, as this film does.
