UK THEATRICAL RELEASE: Sep 14th 2007 TOTAL FILM REVIEW
User Comments (1)
After The 40-Year- Old Virgin and the middle-youth focus of Knocked Up, Judd Apatow’s laughter squad regress to teen-hood in Superbad. ‘Regress’ being the operative word: this is crass, juvenile, dick-fixated stuff... in a really good way. It’s also, arguably, the mainstream’s freshest poke at the adolescent smut-com since American Pie. Mind you, its time-honoured tale of high-school losers busting their balls to get laid hardly shatters the Pie-mould. Moreover, a lot of the situations and characters feel drawn from stock, from underage booze-buying bids to Martha MacIssac’s nice girl-cum-nympho Becca (a dead ringer for AP’s flute-frigging Michelle).

As a teenager myself, I can find myself relating to this film in way that makes me appreciate the genius that has gone into making the film seem so simple and immature. Michel Cera and Jonah Hill are a fantastic duo in this film, but also sublime talent as individuals. Cera having his success with "Juno" and the upcoming film "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" and Hill featuring in many of same places as Seth Rogen (eg. "Knocked Up" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") The two young actors are a joy to behold in Superbad nevertheless. It is a laugh out loud comedy but however consists of some everr so delicate, underlying morales as the tale is told of some high school kids buying the alcohol for a graduation party. Fantastic film - 5 stars, a must watch for fans of Knocked Up and American Pie.
