Youth in Revolt

Once upon a cinematic time, there was this phase I'd like to refer as "The Michael Cera Era". It's the time when he became the poster boys for geeks and geeks alike. His presence was so strong in the movie world that I didn't have a conversation about movies that didn't involve their like for his character and how he was bearing the path for an emergence of a new kind of a leading man. While I've never understood his fad, I did see some of his movies but never saw his appeal. I found the character he was playing to be stereotypical and tiresome. Watch one movie of his and you've watched it all. I saw a couple of his movies at later years (when the phase has died down) and it was only then I realized that the man does have talent and charm.
