Summary: Adequate
Comment: Superbad is unique amongst its kind in the sense that it classically injects the right dose of teen
humour whilst at the same time applies direction to the plot. The film is set over one day, which
means there is a lot going on, which equals a higher volume of jokes. While upopularity is spawned
from its tendancy to go too far down the 'slap-stick' road, such as bottles being thrown at old
women and people getting hit on their ass by reversing cars, the film mirrors the issue with a
myriad of witty punch lines and unexpected turns.

The main plot consists of three
'losers' undertaking the unfitting task of providing alcohol for a house party at which they beleive
they will bed one the ladies at the end of the night. Of course this all goes hilariously wrong as
we follow the three seperate adventures that the characters undertake as their plans to arrive
heroically with bags of booze disintegrate along with their hopes of scoring.

At
times, the movie appears shockingly daft and imposes a rather dumb atmosphere on the viewer, yet the
sheer bluntness of the character portrayal and some hope of originality makes it fulfilling and
enjoyable to watch. Well worth buying!

Summary: Supergood - an instant classic for those who 'get it'.
Comment: Superbad is not for everyone.

The one star reviews here demonstrate that a certain
percentage of the poplace is just not going to get this movie - fair do's, to each their own. />
However, there are many who perceive Superbad to be an instant comedy classic and the
funniest film of the decade so far. I'm one of those people.

The film was many years in
development, which comes across in the character development and interwoven storyline. Not that this
is a complex story, by any means. It's a very simple premise of three guys who need to buy liquor
for their grad party. The beauty of the film is not in what they are doing, but in how they do
it.

The three main characters are well cast and genuinely funny - Christopher
Mintz-Platz in his debut role (Mclovin!) is a scene stealer and the laurel and hardy-esque pairing
of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera (as Seth and Evan) gives this film a solid backbone, a great platform
for the filmakers to introduce a wierd and wonderful array of supporting characters into the mix -
including co-writer Seth Rogan and Bill Hader as a pair of crazy cops.

Behind the
comedic vulgarity and Animal House / American Pie facade, this film succeeds because it has a heart.
As the action continues, we realise that this is also a veiled coming-of-age drama.
/>The filmakers have approached their subject with an obvious dedication to make this film something
more than just another teen comedy.

A funky soundtrack and vintage 70's feel (although
the movie is set in the present day) complete the package.

This film has that rare
rewatchable quality which will demand repeated viewings time and time again, to those who love
it.

Superbad is supergood. 5/5

Summary: SO much better then I thougth it would be
Comment: After seeing the trailer I wasn't convinced but when a friend made me watch the film I realised how
wrong I was. A few reviews correctly state that the story is not particually original, however the
characters and dialogue make this film. The best comedy film of this genre I have seen since Anchor
Man or Old skool.

Summary: Total crap
Comment: This entire movie is basically about 3 underage boys trying to buy booze for a party, and about how
the fat one wants to get laid.
It sucks.
And it's not funny.
I didn't laugh
once.

How is a bloke getting "period juice" on his trouser leg funny? that was
supposedly meant to be one of the highlights of the film.

Don't buy it. Its not worth
it. I torrented it. And i already wish i hadn't even though i got it for free.

Summary: Best Film I have seen in Years !!!
Comment: I saw this film at the cinema with my friends and it is sooo funny !!!
If you are a teenager
in high school or college you can really relate to the story. Very much the new American Pie!
