movie review: superbad is super good!

Published August 24, 2007

Let me start out by saying that the newly released film Superbad is not the kind of movie you'd want to take the faint of heart. There are lots of reasons, and let's just leave it at that.

That being said, this movie also has a softer side to it as well.

Superbad, produced by Jedd Apatow or 40-year-Old Virgin and Knocked-up fame is a story of Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) and their final days in high school. These best friends, along with a supergeek named McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) promise to provide alcohol to a graduation party leading the viewers on a wild ride.... to say the very least.

As a rule, I don't give away too much plot in my reviews, but I found myself laughing as I reminisced of my own high school experiences.

What made this film enjoyable for me, wasn't just laughing at jokes that any guy (and some gals) would find funny, but how much heart this had. The characters in this movie made you want to know more about them.

In my opinion, any time you can combine geeks, nerds, bodily noises, and projective vomiting, with a sensitive story line... you have a hit movie on your hands.

 

MY RATING: 3 STARS

I saw it last night with my husband, I was laughing so hard, my abs were burning! This was the one of the best movies of 2007!

This was Awkward! Brought this movie home, thinking it was a Teen-based comedy that the family (myself, wife, 15y.o. son and 12y.o. daughter..... WRONG !!! Had to turn it off after just a few minutes of extremely strong and foul language. (My bad... I should have done more research).

I watched it later by myself, and it was actually quite good, once you get pass the Potty Mouth.

This is the funniest movie I saw all year. Anyone who is a fan of the American Pie, Knocked Up, 40 yrs Old Virgin movie will LOVE this one.

Agreed, web guy. I hated that Chuck and Larry did that. I need to stop watching previews of movies except for like 1 preview of the movie itself.

A friend saw this movie in South Carolina. She said it was hilarious!!! She also said that she also read in the movie review in Greenville, South Carolina paper that the "f..." word was used over 600 times in the movie. Wonder who had time to count??? :)

Decker, I actually hadn't seen any of the trailers for this film.

I do hate when movies do that.

For one of the few times in my life, I went into this film not knowing anything about what I was going to see.

That was one of the things that I hated about "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry".

I really like Michael Cera. Very funny in "Tim and Eric Awesome Show," "Tom Goes to the Mayor" and "Arrested Development".

Lots of "quotation marks"...

I meant when watching previews of that movie.

WebGuy, you didn't find the jokes to be those repeated from previews did you? I personally felt that almost every joke I saw in the movie was given away when watching the movie.
