after hearing so much about this film, and the fact that i missed this when it was in the cinema...i decided to splash out on this on DVD...oh how it WASN'T worth it. it has it's occasional funny moments,but i didn't find it as good as was expected. it is your typical american teen comedy,focusing on a group of three high-school losers trying to hook up with the girls they like before they all go their separate ways to college.in order to do that, they must secure alcohol for the big party later that night.comedy ensues along the way, with fake I.D's, clueless cops, and a whole host of secondary charecters who move the story along to it's inevitable end...or so you'd think. i won't ruin it for you if you are looking to buy this film, so just buy it and watch it yourself and make your own mind up over it. if you are a fan of the american teen comedy...then this would be your thing...unfortunatly, it's not mineRead full review
I had such high hopes for this movie after laughing several times during the trailers I caught at the cinema on several occasions. How disappointed I was at this DVD. This movie is full of constant and unnecessary swearing all the way through. The humour is not as frequent and as side-splitting as I hoped it would be. I had the impression that this would be a funny teen movie along the lines of American Pie, which is constant humour and the odd swear word for comedy value. Superbad goes too far in the opposite direction with too much profanities and not enough funny moments. I was very surprised and completely disappointed by this movie. Unfortunately this is all BAD and no super at all.
Superbad revolves around two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) who set out to score alcohol for a party, believing that girls will then hook up with them and they will be ready for college. But as the night grows more chaotic, overcoming their separation anxiety becomes a greater challenge than getting the girls. -Official Site I think Judd Apatow is the modern recreation of Midas. Everything he touches is comedic gold. Breaking out with The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, Apatow has proven that he knows comedy. Lending a hand as a producer for Superbad, Apatow lets veteran TV director Gregg Matolla helm this one. Add Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg as writers to the mix, a few well placed cameos, and you have the recipe for one of the summers funniest, if not crassest, comedies. Even I, as a 30-ish male, can see parts of myself in each and everyone of these characters. While not having had quite this outrageous of an adventure, I have had nights that resemble this in my younger days. First and foremost, I have got to talk about Jonah Hill. The boy is a rising star and steals almost every single scene that he is in. Next up is Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s McLovin, er, Fogel. This kid is the epitome of dorkiness and yet seems to have the best time out of all the kids. Who wouldn’t have fun hanging out with cops, drinking and shooting guns all night long? Out of the three main characters, Michael Cera seems to be the weakest link. For most of the movie he comes off as an effeminate little boy who needs to show some courage, and while that is what the movie is about, he never really does it. Things just kind of end up working out for him by the end of the film. How can I review this film without mentioning Seth Rogen and Bill Hader as two cops who just want to be cool. Well, they are extremely funny, but all of their antics took me out of the movie for a bit. Extremely un-policemenlike behavior that would never fly in the real world.Read full review
Well where do i start? Superbad is incredible. One of the funniest films in existence. The characters fit so well with the story and are all funny in their own way. You couldn't really expect a bad film if you find that it's written by Seth Rogen, also starred in knocked up, 40 year old virgin and pineapple express (which may i say is very good too). Any american pie or any other teen comedy movie fan will enjoy this classic, fro,m beginning to end laugh after laugh, packed full of gags. 5 Star!
