...other two new movies in wide release were both romantic comedies. Youth in Revolt, approximately the 67th film in which Michael Cera tries to lose his virginity, amassed $7 million on 1,873 screens - not bad at all. It managed a higher per-screen average than Leap Year, the widely reviled rom-com that sends Amy Adams to Ireland to find true love and get very wet and muddy. Leap Year took in $9.2 million. The direct competition for Adams, who played Julie in Julie & Julia, was in another romantic comedy about a woman who must choose between...
...Hollywood, winners and losers are relative: the money earned at the box office must be matched against money spent on production. It's Complicated had a hefty $85 million budget; Leap Year cost just $19 million to make; Youth in Revolt, $18 million. All three will have to scramble to break even.

Students and faculty, enraged at dramatic tuition increases and crowded classes, are near revolt, and the governor knows anger toward the UC regents and University of California President Mark G. Yudof could easily shift to Sacramento. Yudof dashed off a press release after Arnold's speech, declaring, "I am extremely pleased that the governor understands how vital it is to return the University of California and the California state university system to solid financial footing." But state senate...
...good comic actress, but what can you do when you're written as a one-dimensional slattern, held in contempt by your hipster child? Even the best of the grownups, the friendly hippie-dippie neighbor (Fred Willard) is something of a grotesque. This isn't so much youth in revolt as youth in disdain, which seems ironic, given how much Nick and Sheeni long to have access to the ways of the adult world, including travel and freedom...
