| eye Weekly Adam Nayman Miguel Arteta’s extra-slimy piece of Juno afterbirth has the distinction of being only the second-best film to feature Michael Cera as a character named Nick. | 1 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Youth in Revolt, with Michael Cera in his best performance yet, is a small miracle. | 13 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs If not for goofy charm that Cera effortlessly exudes and pours over his character (and thus draws viewers to him), this might have been a chore for many viewers to sit through, especially since the raunchy material associated with a teen's quest to lose his virginity is a well-worn cinematic path. | 11 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It may not entirely do its source material justice, but Miguel Arteta's Youth in Revolt is a fun, funny comic romp that lets Michael Cera stretch a little and introduces filmgoers to a major find in Portia Doubleday. | 14 | |
