    • Trivia
      François talks dirty to Sheeni in the boarding school ("I want to tickle your bellybutton from the inside", etc.) Director Miguel Arteta revealed on the commentary that all those lines came from researching internet porn sites.
    • Goofs
      The word 'acquaintance' is spelled incorrectly on the lower 3rd when Trent is being interviewed on TV
    • Quotes

      Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: [after having sex with Sheeni, to Sheeni] It's a wonder that humankind has constructed any kind of civilization with this monumental distraction at hand.

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits an animated segment shows what happened following Nick's arrest.

    Charming
    Another film with Michael Cera as a somewhat odd and misfit teenager. Despite being 21 here, Cera still make you believe he's 16.

    With "Youth in Revolt", frequent TV series director Miguel Arteta - assisted by screenwriter Gustin Nash and C.D. Payne, author of the original novel - delivers a fun, weird and heart- warming little romantic comedy-drama. Appearances by Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Ray Liotta and Steve Buscemi add to the sense of strange humour, but the film really belongs to Cera and his special charm.
