Superbad (DVD)

'Superbad' isn't super bad-far from it, in fact it's pretty good, and even though it gets a little superslow and supersoso half-way through, it picks up just enough to deliver a fresh and needed comedy in what has been a very stale genre for a long time now. It's from the makers of the quirky, '40-year-old-Virgin' and the follow-up 'Knocked up', which I haven't seen the latter of the two and hear only good things about that one. You just can't get enough original film these days and if Knocked Up is anything like Superbad then ill be watching it. From its sharp and snappy 'Clerks' style dialogue opening and the rapid introduction to its equally funny and ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend and I can rarely agree on a film and our visit to Blockbuster at the weekend was no different. He chose Superbad, an American comedy which to me looked like an attempt at an American Pie or Road Trip kind of film. I wasn't exactly excited by the prospect of watching it but decided I'd humour him and give it a go... The Plot Superbad follows three American teenagers who are just about to graduate from high school and move onto college. The only problem is that they're still virgins, and the prospect of going to college with the V symbol displayed around their necks isn't even worth entertaining. When Jules, one of the hottest ...  Read the complete review

I was always a fan of the American Pie films and although I know they are mainly targeted towards a teen audience but being young I do 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 it looked quite funny, not amazing but like it could be ok so I decided to take the risk ...  Read the complete review

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 for the party goers, obviously this turns into a comedy of errors, with laughs a plenty. A sub story of the film is the fact that the two friends, Seth (Johan Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) have go into ...  Read the complete review

Superbad leads the life of two teenagers (Seth and Evan) who are about to graduate from high school. Friends for many years, people start to make questions, as Evan gets accepted into Dartmouth, whereas Seth doesn't, and so has to attend the local state university. Jules (a classmate whom Seth is attracted to), invites them to her party, along with Fogell, who had recently got a fake ID. Unable to say no, Jules asks Seth to take alcohol along to the party, which Fogell agrees to buy. After Seth finds out that Fogell has called himself "McLovin" (a 25 year old organ donor), he is sure that the ID wouldn't work, and so they wouldn't have any way of ...  Read the complete review
