Superbad

It has definitely been a while since a movie could reveal the youthful exuberance of the dazed and confused era. With most of the generation X being able to relate Superbad is the movie everyone has experienced or heard about when they were younger. Superbad is a fantasically done movie that keeps you laughing throughout and has your jaw hurting once it’s finished.

Directed by Greg Mottola (Arrested Development episodes) takes this misguided youthful comedy and turns it into a cult-classic. Superbad features the Steve Carrell camp. Jonah Hill (Evan Almighty, Knocked Up) and Michael Cera play Seth and Evan two high-school seniors and life-long best friends before they go away to college. Seth Rogan (Knocked Up, 40 Year-Old Virgin) and Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) play Officer Michaels and Officer Slater, who are really just looking for a good time. Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays the crazy Fogell/McLovin.

With high school winding down, Seth and Evan (Hill and Cera) are realizing that they are not going to college together and are having a hard time letting go of each other. They have a nerdy friend named Fogell who gets a fake ID and renames himself McLovin, a 25 year-old from Hawaii. When Seth is asked to buy alcohol for a party he has no cjhoice but to get McLovin to buy it. While purchasing the alcohol McLovin is decked as the store is robbed. Officers Michaels and Slater (Rogan and Hader) come to write out the police report. They take McLovin on a wild ride around town and Seth and Evan are forced to find other means of getting booze.

This is a funny ass movie that people can relate to about how some kids just want to be noticed and popular. With all the crazy shenanigans happening around these 3 high schoolers it’s a wonder how they ever survived high school.

Superbad gets a 4.70 out of 5.

This is a must see on the big screen.
