Michael Cera’s new movie, Youth in Revolt, comes out today, and features Cera playing (once again) a virginal, stammering hero who (once again) pines after a girl who might be The One. Vulture’s Lane Brown and Dan Kois look back at three notable Cera sex scenes from his past movies Superbad, Juno, and Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist to see how they succeed and how they fail — and how, by failing at love, Michael Cera succeeds in the movies.
