Superbad - Such An Apt Title

i loved it!

bought it off play.com and it comes with my own personalised mclovin ID card!

GENIUS
 
You seem to have missed the point on the 70s thing - it's ironic as the lead characters are far from cool and confident with the laydeez. That is the joke of the title and McLovin.
There are several lead characters and none are perfect but teens are awkward and gawky by nature and each of them progresses by the end of the film.
I thought it was funny and just a bit better than Knocked Up.
Funny how all US coming of age movies since the dawn of films have maintained that all high schools are filled with gorgeous girls though. I very much doubt that!
 
This film was amazing! I didnt realise opinions were so split on it.

I read a review of it at Eye for Film and it got 4 stars. Other reviews give it ratings of around the same also.

If anybody who loved it wants to watch it again at thier own leisure, it is available for about
 
thought the movie was brilliant..easily the best comedy of 2007, and far better than the almost unfunny 'Knocked Up'. In fact, possibly my favourite film comedy ever.
 
This and Knocked Up were my favourite comedies of 2007, Although i think that Knocked Up just steals it after watching the Superbad DVD last night.

You've got to be open to a "geeky" kind of humour to fully appreciate these films, if not then most of the jokes will be lost on you.
 
The only poor part for me was the fact that the cops tagged along after we first see them. That, for me, was slightly self-indulgent, and completely unnecessary. I thought the interaction between the three frienRAB and the contrasts between their personalities was spot-on.
 
(George) Michael Cera stole the show for me. A very talented young comic actor.

Interestingly, I thought Superbad just edged Knocked Up. But that might be largely due to the huge amount of hype that surrounded the latter. Either way, they're both spreading their butt cheeks apart and crapping all over the competition.

And it looks like we're in for another treat later this year with Pineapple Express from the same crew.
