Movie BS - Reviews

August 18th, 2007 by Brent

Superbad tells the story of three high school losers who will do anything to score with the ladies before the school year ends and they head off to college. They believe their best chance is a party where they are in charge of bringing the alcohol, a task that results in panic and craziness. Along the way, the boys must also confront their feelings about college and the idea of being separated from their best friend.

You may recognize the names of Superbad's producers, Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, from this summers Knocked Up, a film that I that I found hilarious, outrageous, but also very real. The same can be said about Superbad. It's outrageous, raunchy (very raunchy), amateurish, but at the same time has a good story of two kids just trying to figure out life.

A cross between 'American Pie' and 'Dazed and Confused', Superbad is a film that is going to appeal to those of us who have been or know people who have been in similar situations... or those of us who laugh at penis jokes.

So, bottom-line, it's rauchy, it's crude, but it's also very funny.

Quick Review
