Juno, Superbad, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. What do these three movies have in common? If you said Michael Cera stars in all of them, give yourself a pat on the back or a star or something. Now what else do they all have in common? Cera is the same character in every movie. I'm sorry to everyone out there who loves this guy but he is virtually a carbon copy of himself in every movie. He hasn't changed since his days at Arrested Development. Now you may be saing Kevin he doesn't change because he doesn't have to! He is great as a comedic straight man and he compliments Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan beautifully! True he can do that quite well, but I can just watch Superbad on DVD now instead of seeing the same preformance in different clothes in the movie theater. I guess what has me so mad is his new movie Year One. He plays a caveman in it. I'm thinking ok yeah finally he will have to at least change his voice a little with some grunts right? The answer is a resounding WRONG. IT'S PAULIE BLEEKER WITH A LOINCLOTH. Take a look for yourself. And Mike? If you read this, take a challenging role. Do something where you don't sound like the same person. Or just fire your agent. Please.

I think that the reason he was cast in Year One is that they wanted to see that character as a caveman for the comedy factor. However, that doesn't change the fact he plays the same role in every movie.
