![]() Tagline: Every "revolution" needs a leader.
Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a cynical sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), an intellectual. The only things really standing in his way are Sheeni's poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent, (Jonathan B. Wright) Nick's temperamental divorced parents (Steve Buscemi and Jean Smart), and Nick's mom's boyfriends (Zach Galifianakis and Ray Liotta).
The film was in production as of February 6, 2009 when re-shoots were being filmed in Shreveport, LA. Newcomer Portia Doubleday has been cast as Nick's love interest Sheeni; Steve Buscemi as George, Nick's greedy and temperamental father; Jean Smart as Estelle, Nick's erratic mother; and Ray Liotta as Estelle's fascist boyfriend Oakland PD Officer Lance Wescott.
Recently, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Erik Knudsen, Zach Galifianakis, and Mary Kay Place joined the cast in the roles of Sheeni's brother Paul, landlord Mr. Ferguson, Nick's well-endowed best friend Lefty, and Estelle's first boyfriend, trucker Jerry, respectively.
Many portions of the film were filmed in Michigan, including Detroit, Brighton, Wixom, Hazel Park, Ann Arbor, South Lyon, Ferndale, Royal Oak, Frankfort, Lake Ann, Lake Leelanau, and Interlochen.
