Superbad (2007)

Just so...so bad

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are times in "Superbad" where Jonah Hill delivers a line so perfectly, so brilliantly, and so hilariously that is hurts. He's a comedic force of nature and is the reason why "Superbad" is one of the funniest and most re-watchable films of all time. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's script (loosely based off of their real-life experiences) is a perfect blend of jokes and heart that follows a reality high school friendship between two nerds who end up trying to prove themselves as big shots. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have brilliant comedic chemistry and are a dynamic duo who I wish would collocate again in future comedies. Seth Rogen and Bill Hader as the cops who spend the night with the infamous "McGlovin" are funner than fun and add to the brilliance of this too-much-fun buddy movie that few comedies can dream rivaling.

It's amazing to see this movie again, and realize how much other stuff that came out after was inspire for it. In my point of view, that really means something.The movie itself is hilarious, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are two of my favorite comedy actors out there, and see they work together in a kind of "mix" of the two different comical style is really a great experience. The whole cast is tremendously talented, with Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, it would be very difficult to go wrong.The history is pretty original, and brings a "refresh" for the genre, thinking about the period that it was realize, when we had a bunch of American Pie movies, and American Pie inspired movies.Besides that, isn't really much to talk about it, I don't want to give any spoiler, so I just rightly recommend you to check out, if you haven't seeing it yet."MCLOVIIN!!"

After watching such great movies as "Crazy Stupid Love" and "The Help", I recently became a huge fan of actress Emma Stone. As such, I decided to go back in a time a bit to see what other movies she had done. I watched "Easy A" and still was impressed, so I decided to take a gander at "Superbad", as I am up for a "teen loser comedy" every once in awhile. The verdict? A complete and utter waste of time.For a basic plot summary, "Superbad" sees two teenage losers played by Michael Cera & Jonah Hill trying to party it up together one last time before heading to different colleges after graduation. Typical teen hijinks involving sex, drugs, alcohol, and cops ensue.The trouble with this movie is that it doesn't add anything new to its genre. There is nothing I saw here that I haven't seen in other similar flicks. While it is billed as "from the creators of Knocked Up & The 40 Year Old Virgin", this film can't hold a candle to either of those efforts. It is extremely vulgar, incredibly crude, and the jokes really aren't even all that funny. At it's core, this is a gross-out movie trying to pass itself off as something more (which it isn't).Thus, if you came here for Emma Stone (like I did), it isn't worth it in the slightest. Go watch her couple of scenes in the movie on YouTube and forget about it. You'll be much better off not wasting your time.

Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are High School geeks who want to get laid before they go to college but the problem is they are nerds.However they find themselves invited to a party given by supercool Emma Stone as long as they bring the booze and thus they attempt to awkwardly buy alcohol whilst underage with the aid of supernerd Christopher Mintz-Plasse and his fake id of McLovin.It is another bad taste comedy in the vein of American Pie or Road Trip, sporadically amusing and silly especially when Seth Rogen and Bill Hader turn up as two uber weird cops.The film rather meanders along with the boys misadventures in their final days of high school knowing that they will go their separate ways at college.There is genuine sweetness with the vulgar comedy but it is also too sporadic and I was never convinced that these teenagers will get the attention of any of the ladies.
