What makes everyone hate this kid? The most common answer is that he plays the same role in every one of his movies, the awkward kid. To be fair, Cera has been playing the same character he started his career as, the lovable dork, George Micheal Bluth in the greatest show you never watched, Arrested Development. In which he played the son of Micheal Bluth (played by Jason Bateman, who had such roles since the end of the show as that announcer dude in Dodgeball, seemingly playing the same character he played in AD as well), strugging with his feelings to his cousin, growing up in the shadow of Steve Holt, and just trying to do the right thing for his family. This role brought Cera into the spotlight, whatever short it was at the time, as the show ended its run after three seasons in 2006. Since then, he was cast in movies where a lovable dork was needed. Hes at the top of the list. Cera has just been playing this character. I can only wonder with the pending Arrested Development movie, will people say he was playing his normal character or George Micheal. When i look at it, i see that he only knows how to play George Micheal, nothing less.
Folks, Micheal Cera can only be George Micheal, he tries to be something different, but he cant and will fail at it if he strays away from that. So many people forget how he started and that goes hand in hand with the future.
Moral of the story here, let Cera be himself, George Micheal.
