It’s looking like “Youth in Revolt” is not quite the second coming of “Superbad,” but Brampton, Ontario’s Michael Cera still gets our vote for Canadian of the Week as he headlines the coming-of-age/alter-ego tale that premieres in theaters this weekend.

Projections show the film will pull in about $7 million in its first weekend, which isn’t great, but it gets a 71 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and will surely please Cera’s fans.

The simple fact, though, is that a fair amount of folks are getting tired of what they perceive as being Cera playing virtually the same role each time out. He does the awkward teen better than any actor in recent memory, but is it time to move on?

Check out the red-band trailer for “Youth in Revolt” below.
