 Hilarious
I drank three beers while watching this movie..by myself! It is very funny. I went to a lot of parties when I was in high school so I know what a big production it was to score some booze. It is definetly for people who have a raunchy sense of humor and don't mind hearing the F word every 3 seconds. It is funny and I would watch it again for a good laugh. My favorite part and most disgusting is when "he dances with dudes fiancee and gets something on his leg". If you watch the movie, think back to what I just wrote and you will thing OMG! Have fun.

 Very funny and even poignant
I had put off seeing Superbad for a while, namely because I'm usually leary of anything that has Judd Apatow's name attached to it. I just always found anything he's done personally all that good, and in fact, quite overrated. Apatow only serves as producer for Superbad, co-written by his Knocked Up star Seth Rogen. Superbad stars Jonah Hill (Grandma's Boy) and Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Juno) as life long buddies and high school seniors that plan to put their losing streaks with girls and life to an end in a big, booze-soaked bash. However, things go awry rather quickly, as both boys and their fake ID carrying friend (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) get involved in varying forms of chaos, most notably with two fun loving cops (Rogen and Bill Hader). While there are plenty of funny moments, Superbad ends up being surprisingly poignant to a point as well. Other than that, there really isn't anything we haven't seen before with Superbad, but the film as a whole is so enjoyable that you really won't care anyway. All in all, Superbad is surprisingly very funny, and even more surprisingly poignant; and in those respects alone, the film is a success. April 21, 2008

 This Movie is SO Vile, Studios originally thought of titling it "Supers*itty," "Supersuckage," and even "Superliberalism!!!!!!!"
I STILL hate this movie, some time after I've seen it. You must also comprehend that I hate you, the viewer, if you should errantly enjoy or find yourself amused by Superbad. Do you fit this definition--well, do you, punk? Then, I hate you as much as I hate Superbad!!!!

I'm not a socio/psychopath who hates for hate itself (like Dems hating Bush for the sake of hatred of his very values as a person). When I hate, I have excessively well-founded reason to do so, and Superbad brings out righteous feelings of hatred!!!! I, with unadulterated hatred (say, like the Palis hate Jews), hate Superbad because of its most mortal of mistakes: it confuses lowbrow, unclean immaturity with real comedy! Apatow is particularly afflicted with this emotional/moral illness as ALL of his movies perpetrate this confusion of comedy versus distastefulness.

Like the epitome of anti-social debauchery that one finds with the criminally insane, Superbad unrepentantly uses gross-out "jokes" instead of wits for comedy; abuses indecent suggestiveness in place of well-timed gags; and misuses lowlife swearing and cussing of the most vulgar nature as substitutes for intelligent dialogue. In Superbad's world--which I KNOW 100% is targeted exclusively to and patronized by sophomoric high-school and college kids (and also developmentally retarded adults who depravedly refused to "grow up"--everything profane is celebrated as funny; everything indelicate is feted as smart; and everything disrespectful is put up on a pedestal as cool behavior that should be imitated.

I'll now go into cold, hard, specific examples of the lowlife obscenities in Superbad that will mortify ALL of the mislead souls who doubtfully found this movie "funny" before. This will likely be an agonizing self-examination for many of them because I will throw in their faces the ethical shortcomings of this trash film. And, after this harshly thorough expose of mine, many would-be viewers of this film (not exactly dreadful people, but just suggestible sheeple) will hopefully be deterred from watching this cr*p. Other activities that make for better time spent than watching Superbad include going to Church, reading, volunteering time for community service, educating some liberals, and even picking your nose (see, with nose-picking, at least you don't confuse vulgarity with comedy!).

Since the plot of this superficially dissolute film is three, undersexed, high-school nerds illegally buy alcohol with which to lower the inhibitions of teen girls (probably to then date-rape them!), it's no shock infamous scenes include:

1) Underage drinking by high-school tykes at a hedonistic party where Becca's said to be smashed and about to "bl*w" (did you know bl*w in this context means oral sex??) Evan that very night! This segues to Evan drinking lots while saying to himself about Becca, "She wants to suck your Buster McThunderstick (this means p*nis in this context!)."

My morally clear analysis is this scene defies humor; instead, it tempts unvirtuous, liberal teens into hurting themselves through drunkenness, risky sexual misbehavior, and misjudging that one has to measure himself by the frequency of sexual encounters!!!!

2) Seth and Evan talk about porn sites (activity of all developmentally retarded males) including "Vagastic Voyages"; there's braggadocio about banging (in this context, it means copulating!) women in vans, of a site showing people urinating on each other, (animalistic fetishes), and Seth whining about one that refuses to show "d*cks going in."

My morally clear analysis is this scene comes short of humor or anything else noteworthy; instead, it encourages h*rny, sexually depraved, male teens to satisfy their lusts by going on online porn sites and m*sturbating along to simulated sex!!!!

3) Seth salivates at the sight of Evan's mom's cleavage. He tells Evan he's jealous that Evan was able to suck her br*asts when still a baby. Then, Evan gives an allegedly sharp retort of role-reversal, sarcastically informing Seth that Seth used to suck on his father's "V*ginal Depth Detector (in this context, it means p*nis!)."

My morally clear analysis is this scene rejects humor; instead, it sacrilegiously disrespects the beautiful role of mothers and fathers in normal, non-alternative families by misapplying contexts of lust and sm*t to Seth's mom and Evan's dad.

4) Barely clothed teen-sl*t Nicola's on top of Fogell who exlaims, "I've got a b*ner (in this context, it means er*ction!)," while Nicola breaks out lubricant (increases the smoothness of sexual thrusting)! As Fogell's on top of Nicola, he announces, "It's in (he means his V*ginal Depth Detector, for those who failed Anatomy 101)!" Confusingly, cops burst in and one asks Fogell if he was "violating that girl with your Hairy Snake and the Two Bald Men (again, it means p*nis)?" His partner adds, "I'm really sorry I blocked your c*ck (not the rooster, but it refers to his p*nis)!"

My morally clear analysis is this scene isn't laugh-inducing; instead it, desecrates the intimate, private and ideally unselfish experience of sex through the lust of Nicola and Fogell and the intrusion of the police.

These four, notorious examples are merely the tip of the iceberg, but Superbad's overflowing with this societal poison throughout.

I must now righteously chastise two demographics whose silence in condemning pollution like Superbad is deafening. Where are females in denouncing this sm*t-movie? Superbad singularly demeans girls as objects of lusts to be hunted down, plied with liquor, then penetrated for male lust!!!! I cannot believe women aren't writing censuring reviews. Parents had better know their impressionable and easily tempted teen sons are likely dying to see this , so they'd better police their kids more furiously!!!! Blast said parents who aren't writing scolding reviews rebuking this film. April 20, 2008

 With fowl language beyond what even Martin Scorsese could conjure up
Every now and again you hit on a worthy `coming of age' comedy and Superbad is one of those. It isn't hysterically funny from start to finish, but when it does funny it does it well. More importantly it has a bucket load of new talent and a script worth a hoot.

If you want to find a film that helps you remember the days when your parties slowly came to a stop and your friends went their own separate ways, then Superbad is that and then some more. Be warned though, Superbad gets downright dirty and filthy for the most of it. Prepare to leave your innocents at the door and enjoy some good natured profanity on steroids.

Supergood! April 19, 2008
