Amazon.com Striking a balance between raunch and sweetness is a tall order for any film, but the Judd Apatow-produced Superbad manages to serve up both in equal and satisfying portions without undercutting a consistent stream of laugh-out-loud performances and gags. Michael Cera (the sublime George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) and unstoppable scene-stealer Jonah Hill (Apatow's Knocked Up) are lifelong pals who attempt to make up for years of obscurity by getting into one blowout party before parting ways for college; an opportunity presents itself in the form of Hill's crush, the lovely Jules (Emma Stone), who wants the boys to bring liquor to her shindig. What follows is a combination road adventure and coming of age story as Cera and Hill tackle crazed partygoers, a pair of overeager cops (played by co-scripter and producer Seth Rogen and Saturday Night Live 's Bill Hader), and the hard truth about girls and their own emotional bond. The humor is crass and occasionally gross but never mean-spirited, and Cera and Hill offer believable performances as guys wholly unaware of their own potential, yet ready to risk humiliation in order to find out. They're well supported by a cast of Apatow regulars, including Kevin Corrigan, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, and Carla Gallo (and Stone and Martha MacIsaac are terrific as their love interests), but the film is completely shoplifted by newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse as their uber-nerdy pal Fogell, whose fake ID handle is among the movie's funniest gags. Classic funk fans should also keep an ear out for the score by Lyle Workman, which features such James Brown and P-Funk veterans as Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Clyde Stubblefield. --Paul Gaita
wowAugust 30, 2008 Awesome movie, a must see!! Don't need 1,000 words to describe it. The only thing was when it was over it made me realize how boring my life is. The people who gave this 1 or 2 stars are idiots, probably a bunch of old people.
Revenge of the Supernerds.August 30, 2008 Basically updating the John Hughes formula for the new century, Judd Apatow and his regular gang undermine the world of teen comedy with "Superbad." Two high school kids have 24 hours to get laid before they separate for college, and maybe forever. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill play the two misfits trying desperately to score the booze that they feel will be their key to the cool, final party with the girls of their dreams.
Of course, this could not possibly go right, so Seth (Hill) and Evan (Cera) are forced to recruit the movie stealing Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the new model-geek of Michael Anthony Hall in Sixteen Candles) and his fake ID. A series of hilarious and profane accidents carry the movie at lightning speed. The three teenagers stumble from one mess to another, including one of the funniest gross-outs ever to make it to a comedy.
The really cool thing about "Superbad" is, no matter how hapless or feckless these three kids are, they are never mean-spirited, but they are your typically hormonally challenged 17 year olds with the standard obsessions. Apatow just takes them and magnifies them way beyond actual size, with the exaggeration the prime source of the silliness. This is a movie that hardly has a dragging spot, and even with the mass quantities of four letter words and the hyper-kinetic pace, the "Superbad" keeps the sentimental core intact.
Extra kudos go to the support cast, especially Seth Rogan and Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader as the police officers who come off more Super Troopers than Adam-12. They give Fogell his rites-of-passage and turn him from victim to victor by the movie's end. By turning the message that bad behavior ain't always a bad thing...and can really be funny...Apatow's made a teen-comedy for the ages.

What do Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen (eww), Jonah Hill (eww), & Bill Maher (eww) ALL HAVE IN COMMON?
Hint: They are blood brothers with Adam Sandler, Larry King, Jerry Seinfeld & Jon Stewart for example. Give up? They ARE ALL JEWISH... Who knew? I didn't. Simply AMAZING...

Dirty movie, not all that funnyJuly 31, 2008 Like many of those R rated or unrated teen movies you hear filthy words used profusely, talk about pre-marital sex, the teens desperately trying to buy booze, party, woo girls and have sex etc. But this movie showed me something I have never seen or cared to see before - menstrual blood, from some girl at a party gets on to one of the guy's pants and someone even touches it and I just couldn't take it anymore. There are limits to showing things that seem fun and this is it.
Cops are shown in a very bad light. Maybe it was for comedy but the movie seems to be sending out the wrong message instead. One guy was real funny though, the spectacled skinny guy with the funny voice who fakes his car id to buy booze calling himself McLovin. He offered some respite. There is absolutely no comparision to the American Pie, or Road Trip, Boat Trip series that offered much more hilarious scenes without the super dirty things this movie has to show. Parents certainly would want their teen kids to stay away from this film and I can perfectly understand why.
One star for McLovin and that' all.
