What is it about Michael Cera that is so awesome? Or better, what is it about Michael Cera that ISN’T awesome? He plays the same awkward, goofy, self-confidence lacking character, yet I would watch him in anything. He had me in Superbad, which I watched 3 times opening weekend. I fell for him as soon as he sang “These Eyes.” That was it- he sang, I melted.
In Juno, he was Paulie Bleaker, the sweet baby daddy that was torn between being with the girl he loved, or doing what he thought she wanted him to do. And lastly, I’ve been watching him in Arrested Development as George Michael. He’s trying to live up to his dad’s standards while pursuing the love of his life, Maeby, who also happens to be his cousin. He’s on my short list of “Guys to Have an Affair With”. And if you don’t think he’s worthy, all I have to say is: These eyes, cry every night for you…
