Love
When high school virgin Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) meets the girl of his dreams in Youth in Revolt, there's a lot keeping them apart-- the biggest problem being that nice guys like Nick always finish last, which inspires him to create a suave, mustachioed, bad-boy alter ego named Francois Dillinger. With Dillinger's help, Twisp gets himself kicked out of his mother's (Jean Smart) house, away from her huckster boyfriend (Zach Galifianakis), and moves in with his father (Steve Buscemi) to be closer to his girl. Francois causes a lot of damage helping Nick do everything he can to overcome all the obstacles in his way, as they alienate the girl's religious parents (M. Emmet Walsh and Mary Kay Place) and endanger a series of helpful wingmen (including Erik Knudsen and Adhir Kalyan) in a quest for love.

Now she's constantly pursued by a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an obsessed painter (Will Arnett), and an egotistical model (Dax Shepard) who will all be in the way of her finding happiness with Nick until she can put the coins back into the fountain... but her boss (Anjelica Huston) is keeping her too busy to return to Rome.
