The Los Angeles Times – ‘Youth in Revolt’ tries to be a different teen-virginity film

Ask Michael Cera, the star of “Youth in Revolt,” if he has lost his virginity, and he answers “Yes” before adding that good, if dusty, chestnut: “Now, I’m trying to get it back.”

Recycled jokes about lost virginity are a lot like movies that mine the humor of the same subject: Depending on the execution, they veer wildly between trite and funny. In the case of Cera’s quip — spoken with his halting, thoughtful, almost squeaky voice — it falls solidly on the humorous side.
