Michael Cera: What do you think of him?

He is quite funny, I like most of his films to date, although Scott Pilgrim doesn't look too good...
To be fair, that's why he's loved by many. No one nails 'awkward teenager' quite to the caricature level that Cera can. I really don't want him to change his role; it never gets old to me.The Procrastinated End said:
Too bad it probably will get old as soon as he does.evilartist said:To be fair, that's why he's loved by many. No one nails 'awkward teenager' quite to the caricature level that Cera can. I really don't want him to change his role; it never gets old to me.The Procrastinated End said:
Ain't nothing wrong with Cera.
He was good in Superbad, and alright in Juno. Youth In Revolt was really good and I can't wait to see Scott Pilgrim. Although Nick And Nora's infinite playlist was shitty.
EDIT: Year One was fucking awful. Even though I like both Jack Black and Michael Cera. Just that film was so bad.

I thought he was great in Scott Pilgrim. He is a bit of a character actor, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

Thought he was good in that and Scott Pilgrim, Juno, Superbad.
Not much variety from him yet but that doesn't make me rage like it seems to make you guys.
A lot of Comedic actors are fairly predictable, basically playing the same role. I guess I like the Michael-Cera-is-awkward as much or more than some of the other options: Ben-Stiller-receives-pain, Will-Farrell-is-creepy, Vince-Vaughn-is-emotionally-distant, Ray-Romano-complains.

That... that was awful! BAD TOUCH.Prophetic Heresy said:
True you have been here longer but at least we can agree that Michael Cera only play one type of character and that V is awesome.Xojins said:
Too me he is a good actor. Though I had no interest in seeing Nick and Nora's infinite playlist. SuperBad: Hilarious. Scott Pilgrim: Awesome. He is really good, but he i typecast too often. When I first saw him I wanted to punch him in the face, but most of my friends say that about me.
Funny, I got him confused with the main character from Zombieland, which boosted my opinion of him. A lot.
He was amazing in Arrested Development.
I liked him in Superbad and Youth in Revolt.
Everything else was fairly throwaway.
Haven't seen Scott Pilgrim.
Not sure why people hate on him. He doesn't appear to be particularly narcissistic; I think he'd happily cop to his limited acting range and obvious typecasting.
95% of actors act like themselves. There are maybe a dozen actual chameleons on the A-list. Saying a guy plays himself in every movie isn't exactly uncommon or biting criticism.
