A movie you've seen a hundred times before
Apparently, the only story Hollywood knows how to tell about teen agers is one in which young men who talk about sex all the time want to have sex. While that may be true for some (or even many), it is not the entirety of teen life.

Superbad follows in the dismal footsteps of all of its predecessors, including resorting to stock characters who have worn out their welcome, especially the obnoxious fat friend whose conversation is so riddled with pathological, obsessive sex talk that he seems brain damaged. This character is so irritating and foul, I could not understand why the main character--the typically bland "normal" male who is given few personal attributes--would hang out with him for ten seconds.

I saw this movie based upon the positive buzz it received, but can only assume that those who saw and enjoyed it are the type who can still be amused by profanity alone without actual jokes or funny content. This film is not only not worth the time it takes out of your life, it's not worth the effort it takes to remove it from the DVD case.

The movie lives up to it's title!
This has to one of the worst teen movies I have ever seen!I guess you have to under 30 years to like it.This film seemed as though much thought wasn't given at all.I am a fan good teen movies ,but this wasn't one of them.

"Superbad" goes into the pantheon of great teen-angst flicks
Greg Mottola's "Superbad," co-written by Judd Apatow alums Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, goes into the hallowed pantheon of great teen-angst comedies like "16 Candles," "The Breakfast Club," and "American Pie." A lot of filmmakers make "teen movies" by throwing some T&A together with some hijinx, but most forget the heart. "Superbad" has heart, in spades.

The movie focuses on the relationship between two fast friends, Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera, of "Arrested Development" fame). They are rising seniors and have been best friends for years, they are destined to split up soon. Evan is Dartmouth-bound, while it looks like Seth is fated to go to a safety-school, at best. Even worse for Seth, Evan is heading to Dartmouth with their perpetual third-wheel, the uber-nerd Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

By reinforcing each other during the desperate teen years, the profane Seth and the ultra-sensitive Evan remain virgins, the plot of the movie loosely follows their quest to leave that club before graduation. But before your cliche-meter goes to 11, fear not. "Superbad" is far too intelligent to lapse too deeply into plots we've seen before - this movie transcends them. Only in a movie this smart can a nerd like Fogell build his self-esteem by bragging to his friends that he told a hot chick "what time it was" when he actually said "It's 10:30."

The movie mainly takes place during one day toward the end of the school year when our three amigos try to buy booze for a serious high-school party, where each hopes to meet the girl drunk enough to make a mistake by sleeping with them. What ensues is a crazy romp with stoners, drunks, chicks, and two of the coolest cops you'll ever hope to meet.

At the end of the day, the three guys learn important lessons about friendship, girls, and growing up, but the viewer is mercifully spared from being hit over the head too hard. The movie has surprises and laughs galore, and it goes without saying that "McLovin" is as hip a catch-phrase as "Vote for Pedro" ever was.

If you need a laugh, check it out. Full disclosure - we watched the rated version, and it had plenty of raunch and profanity to suit our regressive brains just fine, thank you very much.

Cracked Up
Funny,funny stuff. The movie covers a day in the life
of three kids who want have some fun before school is out.
Potty humor to be sure - but it makes me laugh.
Lots of extras. The table read is cool. The commentary
is a bit of a mish-mash, with alot of people talking
at once - or about non-superbad stuff. For me it was
a must have.
Funny,funny stuff.

Kind of Funny!
This Movie got too much hype, It wasn't better than the 40 year old virgin, but it was WAY BETTER than "Knocked Up". It wasn't horrible but I expected it to be "super funny" it was just kind of funny. Worth Watching though.
