After reading the book, Tales from the Script by Paul Herman and Peter Hanson, I watched the movie. It was very interesting and engaging. I particularly enjoyed the way they edited the interviews together to develop an overall understanding of screen writing and the film making process. Hearing the screenwriters discuss their journeys from page to screen was enlightening. I think Peter Hanson and Paul Herman did a great job of getting a diversity of screenwriters and putting together thoughtful interviews. Seeing the people who have written some of my favorite movies was interesting, and I ended up learning about some great movies I've never seen through reading the book and seeing the film. I would definitely recommend this movie and book to anyone who is interested in screen writing or just a general film geek.

Youth in Revolt is a truly funny movie with some scenes that will have you holding your sides laughing. My friend and I both laughed hysterically in parts due to the one liners or funny scenes. Michael Cera was amusing as he always is. It was interesting seeing him branch out w/ his alter-ego character in this film. But, the real strength in this movie is the supporting characters - Fred Willard, Steve Buscemi, Justin Long, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart, Mary Kay Place, and M. Emmet Walsh. These characters stole their scenes and really made us laugh. All in all, I think this is a fun movie that is worth seeing if you want to have a good laugh.
