...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 and ...

Advantages: good acting Disadvantages: story line not great, anti-climax
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. ...

Advantages: Classic end of school story Disadvantages: Very crude. Explicit language throughout
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 ...

And thts wat it is. A another american comedy about sex. But this really is hilarious from start to finish.
I am always quoting lines from this film to my mates everyday because it is so funny!

Advantages: Great Disadvantages: I laughed so much that I was in pain.
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 first ...
