Superbad (DVD)

Best friends Evan and Seth have to face the prospect of leaving high school and going to different colleges. They plan to go out with a bang by going to one final party and hoping they get lucky with some of their female classmates. But things are never that easy; first they have to get hold of some booze. Then there's the small matter of their geeky acquaintance Fogel tagging along and a couple of strange local cops who are determined to prove how ...
...independent would be so hard? From the same stable that created "Knocked Up" and "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" comes this riotous romp of politically incorrect but strangely warm-hearted teen comedy. Director Greg Mottola re-teams with his "Undeclared" mates to create a highly improbable but emotionally truthful movie that has a far higher gag ratio and much more near-the-knuckle humour than any other high school movie I have ever seen. The visuals are ...

Review of Superbad (DVD)

The story of two friends… Superbad is based on two friends trying to work their way up the hierarchy of popularity in their high school but soon face separation when they get accepted into different colleges. The main reason for this is that one is a bit of a genius and the other needs a little help with his basic life and social skills, to say the least. They only have a few weeks left before they must leave each other and so time is running out, ...
...virgins! God forbid the thought! They are asked to collect the alcohol for a party, in doing so they must get fake identification. They cannot let the girls down as they know the only way they will be popular is if they get the booze for everyone. The girls they like are at the party also so they know this is their big and only chance. Jonah Hill, who has previously been in Evan Almighty and The 40 Year Old Virgin, plays Seth, the chubby geek obsessed ...

Review of Superbad (DVD)

...love a funny film and Superbad provides the laughs. As state before, you won't like this if you're past your teen years or hate immature high school films but if you're younger and liked the American Pie films this will be right up your street. The films I had heard about through my friend, I had seen the posters on buses but wasn't really sure what it was about. My friend recommended it to me and so I went to the Apple site to watch the trailer ...
...could be ok so I decided to take the risk and go to the cinema. The film begins with us meeting the characters Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) who are leaving high school and have only a few weeks left. The two are going to part ways though because Evan has gotten into Dartmouth and Seth didn't get in. A girl called Jules who Seth likes has invited them to her party but then their friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz Plasse) arrives telling ...

...known as the Frat Pack. Superbad is an 'off-shoot', if you will, of this genre, and features the newer 'stupid comedians', such as writer and actor Seth Rogen, and his younger version, Jonah Hill. The Plot Seth, Evan and Fogell are best friends, but Seth and Evan have been virtually joined at the hip since they were at kindergarten. Now, the end of school is looming and college is beckoning. Seth doesn't manage to get into the same school as Evan, ...

The girl Seth has fawned over his entire life, Jules, now seems like a possibility for a little action, and likewise for Evan, with a girl named Becca, who blatantly likes him, but he is so paranoid in himself that he can't see it. Jules is holding a party while her parents are out of town, and it just so happens that the ...

...and directed by Greg Mottola, Superbad was released in September 2007. ****The storyline**** This film sees un-popular and geeky school friends Seth (Jonah Hill), Evan (Michael Cera) and Fogel (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) being rewarded with an invite to a party. The boys see this as the best opportunity to hook up with the girls they have been after for a while, before they graduate from school and move away to college. There is one condition of ...
...of the cinema confused. Superbad lacks depth and substance and when it finishes it is a definite “what happened there” moment. It may have been the writers’ intention to leave the ending open ended so that a sequel can be made in due course, and if this is the reason why then it has been managed poorly. The characters are quite believable to some extent and their mannerisms and attitude reminded me of what I was like at high school, although I ...

Review of Superbad (DVD)

Superbad is rate 15, it's from the people who brougt you 40-year old virgin and knocked up... which suggested to me it would be very good, but unfortunatly I was disappointed. The screen play is written by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg and in my opnion there are good points and bad points about the screen play. It is, in parts, humourous however the jokes tend to be quite crude and sometimes make you cringe! Yet I did laugh out loud on a few occassions. ...
...The acting is of a good quality, in particular Michael Cera who plays Evan, won Breakthrough Artist Award from Austin film critics and and Chicago film critics awared him Most Promising Performer. All three main characters: Michael Cera, Johan Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse were nominated from MTV awards and Teen Choice awards, and although none were successful in winning, the nomination in itself shows the quality of the acting. The actors really ...

Though at the same time it looked like it could turn out to be another ...

Review of Superbad (DVD)

Superbad is a enlightening mixture of previous teen movies: Porkys, Revenge of the nerds and American pie. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg create a great blend of humor, crude commends, heartfelt characters, and general laugh out loud moment. The story is that of two best friends who are just about to graduate from High School. After being invited to a party by two of the hottest girls in school they are on a mission to arrive carrying all the alcohol ...
...remains a mystery. Superbad manages to recapture the fun and humor of the ever popular 80s teen movies. It manages to be both foul-mouthed and sweet-natured, and above all hilariously funny, something not easily achieved. Judd Apatow produced the film and it shows, with hits under his beat such as Knocked up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and The Cable Guy, his expertise at producing these type of films shines thoughout ...

Intro: First of all, I have to say that i highly recommend the purchase of this DVD as it is the funniest yet most simple comedy that i have ever watched but the weird thing is i absolutely loved every minute of it! Age group: I am guessing that the age group is around 15-21 as the movie is all about a bunch of teenagers on a mission to get alcohol and also to get girls. Brief account: Basically the plot of the film is about three teenagers: Evan, ...

...to reaching those heights. Superbad to me was unfunny and trying to be something it wasn't; it was hard to tell whether it was taking itself seriously at times or not, which then turned into stupidity rather than genuinely funny comedy. In my opinion the film would survive with out the two stupid cops and McLovin altogether and instead give greater detail to the plot of the rest of the film. However this film amusing in places, and I did watch it ...

This is one of the funniest films I have ever had the pleasure to watch. The plot is far from spectacular; three teenagers try to get themselves some alcohol and some sex. Nothing new there, I admit. But the whole film had me in stitches. Rarely do I actually laugh out loud (LOL for the youngsters reading this) but I hardly stopped whilst watching this. In fact, I've watched this film three or four times and its still as funny as it was the very ...

The gang encounter various distractions, most notably two Police Officers along the way. Bill Hader and Seth Rogen take on the supporting roles ...
