pretty good

A charming little flick about high school filled with extreme vulgarity- a porkies/fast times update. I liked the way they avoided treatingthe kids as one-dimensional. That scene where they were building up thecourage to go by liquor rang very true. The whole cop thing was prettysilly. Evans low-key approach was a perfect counter punch to Seth'sfrenetic insanity. And McLovin really stole the show. I remember whenPorky's came out and had it's famous 'dick pulling' scene and how thatwas the height of vulgarity. This movie is in the same vein with itsvag-tastic voyage humor. It is what it is and it does it well. Don'texpect anything more.

It's Booty Call for the Knocked Up generation.

The worst movie I have ever seen!!!!

This was the most repulsive, disgusting degrading movie I have everseen. Within the first 10 minutes I was mad that I even wasted themoney. the only reason I didn't turn it off is b/c my husband wanted tosee if it would get better, and it DIDN'T. Save your money.. don't seethis movie. I will never watch another movie by this guy and I have toquestion anyone who liked this movie's mental capacity. It really showyour immaturity to be able to sit through this movie and stomach it.The part about the period and when the fat kid said he was being usedas a tampon almost made me vomit. And the part with the cops in theliquor store and the clerk was so racist. Not that I am an advocate forpolitical correctness or anything, but I am sure many people could beoffended by this type of so called humor.

Super awful!

I had been waiting to see this movie for quite some time as I had readseveral good reviews. Unfortunately, having since seen the movie I havecome to the realization that yes, we all have our differing opinions.This movie was dreadful! It was hard to finish, which is really sayingsomething when you've paid to see it. The chemistry was false, theacting was weak, and the script was a disgrace. The weird police linkwas the only thing that came near to funny, and even that was so offthe mark. If you think this is out and out funny, you need to getyourself an education, along with the director and the script writer.This is the sort of junk that keeps our youth as thick as they are.Don't waste your time on this, re-watch American Pie as it's in anotherleague.

Super Funny Bonus Features

what else can I say, everyone knows the movie is great, and now so are the bonus features, especially Cop Car Confessions.

One of the best teen sex comedies ever made.

Funniest Movie I've Seen In A Long Time

I got to see an advanced screening the other night, complete with aninterview with the cast. I figured this movie could go either way,especially when you consider "40 year-old Virgin" and "Knocked Up" werefunny and entertaining, but they weren't exactly loved by all.I am happy to say this movie was wonderful. The jokes are crude, butdead on, and unlike recent movies with a similar style, like "Clerks2," the plot moves on without any real downtime (you know, where theplot slows the progress of humor and you find yourself checking yourwatch). Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have that best friend chemistrythat this movie required as well as being dead on with their jokes. Thereal star of the movie, however, was newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse,who took the role of Fogell and OWNED it. I got the chance to chat withthe actors and I was not only surprised to hear that both Mintz-Plasseand Michael Cera are 18 and 19 respectively.For the type of movie this is and the brilliant script that Seth Brogenhas presented, there is no reason why anyone, young or old, can'trelate to this off-the-wall comedy. See this movie!

Maybe I would have been better off seeing Superbad before it became an instant cult classic.

"Superbad" is super bad!

This review is from: Superbad (Unrated Widescreen Edition) (DVD) I got this as a gift for my brother. Other than the movie being exactly as the title states "super bad" the product itself was in perfect condition and arrived quickly :) He loved it, so that's all that matters :)

Probably the most overrated film ever

Because this movie has such a large and strong following, I'm going tostart out by saying that I laugh during Jackass. I loved Scary Movie1-3. I even LOVE tourettes guy. But tourettes guy was funny, this wasnot. To be fair, I entered the theatre with mixed, but decently highexpectations. I was cautious because I had heard about it for years andyears before it came out, which is never a good sign. Upon seeing themovie these are things I realized: -Honestly, I found some parts werefunny. This isn't a total this movie is feces kind of comment. The copswere the funniest, and there were some moments here and there -MichaelCera was just about perfect. He's a very talented performer.-Here's the downer part. I had to wait for so long for this film to befunny. The first ten minutes was them talking about porn and stuff andthem drinking, it just wasn't entertaining at all to me, but maybe Iwas viewing it with too high of a reading level. And I shouldn't sayjust the first ten minutes, because 98% of the movie is stuff thatwould be funny to high people because they say anatomical parts, but nonormal person would find funny because it's irrelevant or not even ajoke.-This movie relied so much on the words vagina and booze that itinstantly made it the favorite movie of most of my high school. Forthose of you reading this, that's a note that you will probably likeit. As for me, I usually find vagina jokes funny but there were novagina jokes. They merely talked about vaginas and it was pointless.The screenwriter (s) for this movie got the easiest job ever.-Really, that sums it up I think. A few funny parts, but is horribleunless you find kids drinking and talking about random crap funny.

What a wondrous surprise...

I have to say, I only watched this due to the rating it had got IMDb. Iam not normally into comedies, particularly ones that involve Americanteenagers coming of age sort of thing. The last similar one I watchedwas American Pie, which although I can understand why people did findit funny, it was not for me. This however was surprisingly hilariousand at times had me laughing out aloud. I would say that men more thanwomen would prefer this film as for me part of the humour was lookingback to me male teen years and thinking 'Yes, thats exactly right.' andcringing with embarrassment. In hindsight however, these incidents werefunny. The film manages to hit home very well the awkwardness ofsituations which are of your own doing, and the one track mind of beingan adolescence. Throw in some bizarre behaviour by some of societies socalled respectable members and the story never really slows down. Butfor me it has to be the one liners throughout the film, the ones that Ihave made up my mind to remember but am never able to. I found it sogood I was able to watch it twice in 24 hours due to my wife wanting towatch it the next day.

wow

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.

Best comedy of the year...and the decade!

This movie was incredible. I laughed my ass off so often, I actuallyfelt pain in my stomach...I laughed so hard that people in the theaterwere laughing at me...for a comedy, that's enough to go check it out.But no, Superbad has a great story, and it ends on such a sweet, awshucks note that you'll instantly fall in love with it. It's very crudeand perverse...but the brilliance and the awkwardness captured isfantastic. I can't stop gushing, but Superbad makes everything elsethis year meek in comparison. I've been waiting a long time, and I cansay, it lived up to the hype. The performances were great, the scriptwas great, it pushed on boundaries and made me laugh...what's not tolove. A true classic.

Crude but hilarious

Another year, another gross-out teen comedy about horny high-schoollosers attempting to vanquish their virginity. Two co-eds who areattempting to woo a group of girls by supplying their party with boozeend up having the most elaborately awry night of their life. Going intothe screening one could be forgiven for fearing the worst with thesheer number of schlock that had been farmed out of Hollywood sinceAmerican Pie made the teen comedy cool again. Fear not, Superbad is ariot, and so for two key reasons. One - it is produced by Judd Apatow,comedy auteur of such hits as Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin.Two - its two stars, Jonah Hill and Michael Cena are fantastic finds.Hill takes an obnoxious, porn-obsessed oaf of a kid and laces him withbags of charm and great comic timing. Cera goes one step further,engulfing his character with the kind of nervous stuttering that only aRicky Gervais sitcom might dare make funny. It may be crude, crass anddeeply superficial. But sex is never funnier when high school kids tryit.

The Spirit of Guyness

I like Superbad for the following reasons: 1. Superbad is uncompromising in its look at what it can be like totransition out of High School. The roles of the girls and boys in thestory are anchored in exceptionally balanced, three-dimensionalcharacters. In these characters, there are redeeming qualities andflaws that range from subtle to glaring. However, Seth, Evan, Fogell,Jules, Becca, and the two cops are all different people at the end ofthe movie than they were at the beginning, and the story is told in away that the audience understands.2. The profanity. Words are tools, and the dialog of Superbad buildsthe expression of not only the thoughts and the characters, but also ofwhat the collective culture of the characters is. This is not a moviefor someone to get caught up on what it is young people say. This is amovie for people who appreciate what young people mean.3. Quid Pro Quo. Just as Juno is to Knocked Up and Mean Girls isto...well, pretty much the whole genre of High School Boy GeeksOvercoming Oppressive Jocks Movies, Superbad is begging for a responseto be made from a female perspective.That would be the movie to threaten the establishment.sincerely, Dave

...a teen sex comedy that finds funny in the low brow while being very smart about it.

He's the fastest kid alive!

Like many who have reviewed this before me, I have to say I went into this movie thinking it to be your typical "last party before graduation" & profanity and potty humor filled teen movie. While, it has alot of profanity (I mean, alot) and there's a fair amount of potty humor, this is probably one of the best movies in this genre I've ever seen. The scenes with Fogle (aka "McLovin"! LOL) are worth the price alone...he steals every scene he's in. For a fun, laugh out loud & completely hysterical (and yes, it has a sweet ending) movie you can't do much better than Superbad.

Superbad is not too Super

The overrated, over-directed, and overacted Superbad brings forth someshits and giggles but in no way compares to its predecessor The 40 YearOld Virgin. While the same humor is used, it lacks character emotionfor the viewer to care, gross moments that are meant to be funny butdragged out four minutes too long, and an over abundance of bitchingand moaning.The film tells the story of Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan, (Michael Cera)two best friends who are in their senior year of high school who havetheir plans for being roommates in college ruined when Evan gets intoDartmouth and Seth does not. When both their high school crushes invitethem to a party and ask them to get alcohol their quest begins. Withfreak occurrences and their dependence on Evan's annoying Dartmouthbound friend, Fogell they engage in one of the wildest nights of theirlives.The grotesque humor as funny as it is, is used so much that the filmoverdoses like a drug user and loses its target audience. As it willrelate to the young adult audience, it has potential to become a filmicon like Old School and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. As youwatch it more, the film may become funnier with each viewing. But I'mafraid the script is a little everywhere and the characters are ultraannoying to watch. Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg had the right idea buttry too hard like their boss, Judd Apatow who knows how to bring comedyand development together perfectly. The duo fail on almost every level.Grade: **/****

Strike 2

So I ordered the Superbad DVD and put it in to watch it and it did not work. The company didnt respond when I ask them about. After I wrote a bad review did I get any response and I was pleased to see that they were sending me another dvd. Unfortunatly they sent me another DVD that did not work. I know it is not my player because it plays other dvd's fine and one of the Superbads I got was a dual disc and the bonus feature dvd played. This company must not check their dvds before they send them out even though they mark them as "like new" because every new dvd i have had PLAYED THE MOVIE! Very unhappy, I do not recommend buying from this company. I understand a slip up, but twice in a row, something must be wrong. Dont waste your money like i did.
