There are people who are skeptical of Michael Cera, who think he has been playing very slight variations on himself since his Arrested Development days. In Juno he was the affable guy with the earnest delivery, who came across as self-effacing, but also so utterly unperturbed by his own absent chin that he somehow became plausible as a romantic lead. In Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, the apparently innate peevishness, a whine that pays homage to the hunting mosquito, which had worked so well in Superbad, had begun to grate, but it was still clear that the movie...
...near-libelous reviews, there's another explanation for Land of the Lost's becoming the season's first pricey roadkill. After Night at the Museum 2 and Up, it was the third consecutive action comedy with at least one prehistoric beast. In two weeks, Jack Black and Michael Cera will play the dino-comedy card again with Year One. Sony, the film's distributor, might want to reposition Year One's marketing to emphasize its pedigree as a Judd Apatow comedy (from which The Hangover was clearly spawned), and to sell the primitive wilderness that Black and Cera wander through...

Although the characters are allegedly four years older than the high schoolers of “Superbad,” they still binge drink until they puke, and there is little to distinguish Eisenberg’s awkward and soft-spoken virgin from that of Michael Cera (other than the fact that Eisenberg has a car to drunkenly drive into the neighbor’s hedge). When Mottola presents a 22-year-old who expects an expensive summer vacation and four years of graduate school on his parent’s dime while he gets high and drunk...

Wrestling star John Cera's 12 Rounds continued its flabby run, and the Amy Adams indie comedy Sunshine Cleaning broke into...
...This young actor, who was equally persuasive in Roger Dodger and The Squid and the Whale, has the edge on Cera in terms of range. When Eisenberg narrows his eyes, thrusts his chin forward and huffs, we're not sure if he's a bona fide jerk or not, whereas Cera is always a smart-mouthed sweetie pie. But in that moment of James' degradation, in his acceptance of the humbling Games uniform, he magically transforms into a guy we could see spending the summer with...
