wants his movie to stand up with its star, Michael Cerra. You probably know the guy is the parent of teen Juno, the teen in Superbad Superbad and super-teen Scott Pilgrim . He became, in American cinema, the archetype of the young person we like: loser as it should, as a sensitive girl and appropriately grown. His secret? A slender silhouette, the hair of a Harpo Marx, who would have gone to the hairdresser and especially a very special tone of voice, both soft and high pitched. In short, the adolescent average over more, as fantasized by the girls, and thus by the boys. The principle of
Be Bad ( Youth in Revolt in VO) based on the travesty of this latest icon. We knew the young man resigned and full of self-mockery: his double Nick Twisp is a male in the former, a dandy who smokes and swears. One imagines that he and his double are supposed to represent the two faces of modern masculinity. Spontaneous, almost effeminate one hand - old-school and violence on the other. Despite the inanity of this main argument - new vintage daydream as it did today every day to the movies - you could expect gags and developments that are at least worthy of a teen movie base. But not even. Not only
Be Bad is an extraordinary emptiness, but anything that is vaguely begun timidly and softly outlined in this place long hour and a half is with such a lack of conviction that one wonders to What the director wanted to take us - or even if there is someone in charge.
But to be perfectly honest, it is especially the game on mute Michale Cera that affects the whole film, and prevents the comedy to take advantage of the original idea, yet simplistic. The splitting of warm young man is not credible for a sub and only sift all a blur of little artistic. Everything is defused, with Michael Cera, everything is reduced to a childish stage. The slightest bounce becomes contine, any plan a scribble of a child. Make no mistake: the regression here is not conducive to wonder, it only serves to create information, the immature - The amorphous.
