Movie Review: Superbad


SUPERBAD
I happened to see this movie on the same day my dad saw Mr. Bean. He was debating seeing Superbad, but chose Mr. Bean instead. Good choice Dad, because Superbad would have been the kind of movie he would have gone on to analyze and lament about today's youth, which is exactly the reason you, the TrashyPantz reader, will love Superbad. This quotable movie follows the same sort of plot lines you will find in most movies based in high school. Unpopular kids want to be popular and do something to try to gain respect from their classmates, girls especially. The difference here is that this movie does not hold back the raunchy factor, and at times, you almost think that Seth (lovable and chubby Jonah Hill) and Evan (Arrested Developments George Michael) are improving lines that the camera keeps rolling for. It reminds you how many conversations with friends go- no holds barred and very funny, usually with a comment that will be remember and repeated for a long time. The rest of the cast does a great job keeping up the pace- but there are points where you question where a scene is going to go but you stick with it. Therefore...
Superbad gets 3 out of 4 McLovins
