Youth in Revolt is an upcoming American film adaptation of C.D. Payne's epistolary novel of the same name. Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a cynical sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), an intellectual and beautiful girl. The only things really standing in his way are Sheeni's poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent (Jonathan B. Wright), Nick's temperamental divorced parents (Steve Buscemi and Jean Smart), and Nick's mom's boyfriends (Zach Galifianakis and Ray Liotta). When Nick realizes she is not interested, he comes up with an alter-ego, named Francois, who resembles Nick, but has blue eyes, a mustache, a deeper voice, and a player/bad boy attitude to help him with his pursuit of Sheeni. But when Francois ends up making Nick a wanted criminal, everything spins out of control.

The film was in production as of February 6, 2009, when re-shoots were being filmed in Shreveport, LA. Newcomer Portia Doubleday had been cast as Nick's love interest Sheeni; Steve Buscemi as George, Nick's greedy and temperamental father; Jean Smart as Estelle, Nick's erratic mother; and Ray Liotta as Estelle's fascist boyfriend Oakland PD Officer Lance Wescott.

Justin Long, Mary Kay Place, Fred Willard, Erik Knudsen, and Zach Galifianakis joined the cast in the roles of Sheeni's brother Paul, her mother Mrs. Saunders, landlord Mr. Ferguson, Nick's well-endowed best friend Lefty, and Estelle's first boyfriend, trucker Jerry, respectively.

Many portions of the film were filmed in Michigan, including Ann Arbor, Brighton, Detroit, Ferndale, Frankfort, Hazel Park, Interlochen State Park, Lake Leelanau, Madison Heights, South Lyon, Rochester, Royal Oak, Traverse City, and Wixom.

The film premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival on September 15, 2009,among other film festivals. A wide release is set for January 8, 2010.
