Youth in Revolt (2009)

  This movie is the worst.  I honestly don't know how anyone would find this funny.

Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a bored sixteen-year-old desperate to lose his virginity.  He meets Sheeny (Portia Doubleday), an equally bored sixteen-year-old girl desperate to get away from her religious fanatic parents.  Nick is willing to do anything to woo Sheeny, including inventing an alter ego named François, committing millions of dollars in arson, stealing at least three cars, manipulating one of Sheeny's classmates to drug her everyday so she'll fail out of her prestigious French academy, and alienating everyone around him.

To get laid.

And it's supposed to be funny and not an extended episode of Criminal Minds.  What in the ever-loving fuck?

*Produced by Bill and Harvey Weinstein*

Oh, suddenly it makes so much more sense.

Avoid.
