Is 'Youth in Revolt' Being Pushed Back ... Again?

Oh look, it's a comedy from The Weinstein Co. that's about to have its release date pushed back for a second time. Who woulda thunk it? Well, considering that Youth in Revolt was supposed to hit theaters in February and we still haven't received photos, a poster or a trailer, it's fairly obvious the film isn't going to make its second date after originally eying a December '08 release. Though no official word has come down yet, according to several different sources it's looking like Revolt is going for another ride through 2009 -- and if I were a betting man, I'd say it may get dumped toward the end of summer. I briefly spoke to the film's star, Michael Cera, at a dinner party for Adventureland at Sundance, and he didn't really give any clues away as to how he felt about the finished product. All I know is that the book is one of the best (and my favorite) teen angst stories ever told, and the cast -- including Cera, Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis and Portia Doubleday -- is fairly awesome if you ask me. So what's the hold up? No idea. But it's The Weinstein Co., who, after three (four? five?) years are finally releasing the comedy Fanboys on February 6. Hopefully Youth in Revolt is testing through the roof and they want to hold it for a prime date over the summer ... but something tells me that's not the case. Anyway, fingers are totally crossed -- we'll let you know what the new date is when (or if) it's announced.

I saw this film at a test screening a few months ago. As a fan of the book I thought the film did a good job overall of bringing the story to the screen (not as great as I would have hoped, but what can ya do). The screening seemed to go really well from what I could tell and I was asked to stick around afterwards to talk along with a small group of the test audience about the film. Almost everyone in that group said they would recommend the movie to a friend, so hopefully it gets released soon and they don't pull a "Fanboys" with it.

C'mon tick, you don't need to reclaim those three hours. Haven't you already spent enough time standing in front of a mirror doing your best DeNiro??

Yeah, we're all sure you have MUCH more important things to do...

I love this book by CD Payne. Its such a hilariously witty story of such a perverted, disturbed young boy. To much of my surprise I saw they are producing a Youth In Revolt film! Im very excited for this film and seeing the list of the casted actors makes me even more excited. They need to hurry up and set an official deadline of its release. I just hope the director can portray the character and fun story line as well as the original author..... Anxiously waiting.......
