Youth in Revolt movie: 

‘Youth in Revolt’ adapts the first three volumes of C.D. Payne’s six-book series about Nick Twist, a smart and, in his own opinion anyway, more-than-usually horny 14-year-old in Oakland (”a large, torpid city across from San Frandisco”) who reports in daily journal form on a series of adventures encountered on the way to losing his virginity, despite the obstacles set up by his irresponsible divorced parents. Ironically, though pointed at today’s young teens, ‘Revolt’s’ R rating excludes them — though the books are far more sexually explicit. Whether somehow this will become a cult movie via Netflix is hard to say. It’s pretty faithful to the books, leaving out lots, but adding or changing little. Unfortunately Arteta’s flat direction, and focus on the action aspects — an accident, a fire, a botched fake suicide, invasion of the girls’ dorm of a French-language prep school in Santa Cruz — excises much of the self-satisfied wit of the books and Nick’s one flourish, his intellectual and literary showing off. The film necessarily loses the flavor of a day-to-day-journal, though most of the characters tend to talk in the same ornate, overly-polite style as Nick’s entries.

C.D. Payne is no Salinger. His books serve as page-turners for young readers, but they’re nothing special. There’s a curious sense of being out of time. Is this the Nineties, when the books were begun?– or the youth of Payne himself, who was born in 1949? Nick’s girlfriend Sheeni (Portia Doubleday)’s fascination with Belmondo, chanteur Serge Gainsbourg, and the existentialists, — and the general innocence of the behavior — would suggest earlier days, but in the movie, people have cell phones, and a prevalance of ’shrooms and blunts makes this post-Breathless (francophile Sheeni’s favorite movie). The main point was to keep the incidents coming, and Payne went on with “The Further Journals” and finally the adventures of Twist’s younger brother.
