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. ... Read review

I always laugh my head off everytime I see it! The genius ... Read review

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 ... Read review
