Advantages: Silly scenes, you can relate to the plight of the teenager's trying to buy alcohol Disadvantages: very long winded, Jonah Hill's irritaing charater
I must admit, i stumbled across this movie at a friends house who called it 'Average' and at best 'just noise'. while watching this film, i found it hard to stop laughing throughout the entire movie. After watching Juno, i've become a bit of a michael cera fan. something about his quiet nature, and sweet searching eyes as well as his fantastic 70's esque way of dressing makes him such a captivating and sweet character. the film is basically about ... ...aren't- as being 'cool' as they so badly want to fit in. you can't help but feel sorry for them, especially the skinny vogel who sort of reminded me of someone i knew back at highschool.
the plot is centered around booze and girls - every teenage boys fantasy- but it goes horribly wrong (as it always does!). My favourite charcters were by far the two dumb and delinquent policemen who form a bizzare friendship with Vogel - who calls himself mcLovin' ...

Advantages: Great witty film, with some amazing one liners Disadvantages: A little slow, and will not appeal to everyone.
Superbad is a very understated and modern teen flick, if you totally loved Nepolian dynomite, like i did, you'll love this. The main characters are funny, real and well written. The two cops are hilarious, i laughed all the way through this intentionally geeky an wholly enjoyable film. You could say it lacked a little in plot lines and was a little insular, and at times is a little slow paced. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is absolutly steals the show ...

...is one to check out. Superbad is one of few comdey films out that will have you laughing as soon as it begins.
Not only do i enjoy comedy films but to me Superbad was by far the best film of last year. The script is well written and the you cannot fault the acting. As it tells the lives of 3 best friends trying to get to a party, they resort to anything possible to get an invite and when they do not only are they excited and thrilled but now they ...

Advantages: Funny, Great film Disadvantages: Few Bonus features
A Brilliant movie, if you haven'y seen it already, you're missing out! The film follows a story about three nerds seekng for some female attention, to do this they try to attend a party with booze, difficult as they are underage... They make a fake I.D which is where McLovin comes in, the boy who spends his time as a rebel, different to his normal self. Pretty ridiculous for a fake name? This is the best of its kind and actually made me laugh, which ... ...Old Virgin' , 'Knocked Up' , 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' . These are also some reccomended movies. The value is good seing as the DVD is fairly recent and packed with few bonus features. One of my favourite comedies and most reccomended to film lovers between the ages of 12-40. Don't hesitate to buy it, JUST DO IT! ...

Quick review of Superbad (DVD)
Hilarious, Laugh out loud funny (in a mostly adolescent humour style that appeals accordingly). Very entertaining all the way through, twists and turns that you couldn't predict, and a great way to spend a couple of hours. ...

Advantages: Perfect for a hungover Sunday! Disadvantages: Very silly and predictable in places.
Now this isn't my usual kind of film, but for a hungover and tired Sunday this was just what the doctor ordered.
Starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (no I hadn't heard of them either) I have to say that I found this film hilarious, if a bit predictable (think American Pie etc). The main plot is that the three friends are trying to pull before leaving school and going to college. They manage to blag invites to a party at ... ...alcohol for the night. The one manages to get a fake ID under the name "McLovin" but it pretty much all goes downhill from there. The story then follows their quest for alcohol - think armed raids in off licenses, a drunken night out with two policemen, gatecrashing another party where everyone's high on drugs and you pretty much get the idea.
I wouldn't recommend this if you are easily offended or prefer a more sophisticated genre of film but if ...

Advantages: Ridiculously funny! Disadvantages: Cringe-worthy, not one to watch with the parents!
On seeing the trailor, i wasnt very tempted to see this, so on dvd release, i watched. best thing ever! so hilariously funny, you'll be crying with laughter. However, it does depend on taste in humour as this is not for the easily offended! vulgar in places, but this is how boys of that age act! i enjoyed this immensely, you will find you may be able to think of someone very similar to certain characters. the acting is good, with very funny performances ... ...how young people are! the story is quite random, but very easy to follow, you always know what is going on. it is something i would definately recomend to people with a crude sense of humour, but to be honest, if you watch it with an open mind, you will ahve a good time. ...

Advantages: Lot's of laugh out loud moments. Memorable characters. MCLOVIN!! Disadvantages: Fairly standard teen movie storyline
Seth and Evan, two best mates are desperate to hook up with some girls they like before heading off to college. With the help of Fogell (McLovin), they attempt to acquire some booze for a party later that night. Set over 24 hours, the movie is an hilarious 'American Pie' style movie. The young cast are brilliant and the movie has plenty of laugh out loud moments, many of which are given from the ultimate geek 'McLovin'. While the storyline is your ... ...argue that it doesn't mirror teenage life. If you liked 'Road Trip', 'American Pie', 'Knocked Up', '40-Year-Old-Virgin' then in my opinion you will love Superbad. The DVD features are better than your average, with the 'Gag-Reel' and 'Cop Car Confessions' in particular giving good laughs. ***** -Total Film ***** - GQ ...

Advantages: Laugh out loud comedy . Disadvantages: N/A
I really loved Superbad . It is a totally laugh out loud comedy . Superbad is directed by Greg Mottola and produced by Judd Apatow who also directed Knocked up and 40 year old virgin .
Basically these 3 guys are horny teenagers , who want beer are on a long journey in this movie . The 3 main characters work brilliant together (Seth, Evan, and Fogell), I thought Fogell who is played by...

Advantages: Very funny,watched it over and over again Disadvantages: none
The first thing i have to say is if you have not seen this film then you have a extra rib than me, i split one with laughter. I first saw Micheal Cera in Arrested Development the tv series so i was a little put of when i first heard of this film. It follows three teens that are invited to a party. One of them is getting some fake I.D so everyone asks the trio to get them some alcohol for this party.The added pressure comes when they hottest people ...

Advantages: story, characters Disadvantages: too short :)
"Superbad" – these are three new secondary-school graduates, who (exactly as in "American Pie") have the last secondary-school chance in order to finally (I will use the much more lenient expression than they) to wet. For them farther in the Friday night all the more strange, more funny, more woefully and more vulgarly all at the same time. And when, their chosen ones and considerable quantities of alcohol are finally making their way for the final ... ...that he will end that's all yes, how for themselves dreamt.
