Directed by: Greg Mottola
Starring: Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, and
Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Evan (Michael
Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) are best friends who are about to hit a fork in the
road of life. They’re graduating from
high school in a couple of weeks and are headed to two different universities. Somehow, these usually unpopular boys get
lucky enough to get invited to a big party by two hot girls. However, there is a catch. They agree to supply the alcohol. Along with their friend Fogell (Christopher
Mintz-Plasse), they intend to get fake IDs to buy the liquor for the
party. However, the night gets
complicated when Fogell can’t purchase the alcohol after running into two cops
in the liquor store. Superbad is an outrageous comedy in the long
American tradition of crude, R-rated slapstick comedies. It is one truly hilarious film. I literally laughed until I cried when I
watched it. While it is arguably one of
the funniest films I’ve ever seen, it is undoubtedly one of the rudest and
crudest films to ever grace the big screen.
True to the name, the film escalates the crudeness and vulgarity of the
jokes (especially with references to genitalia).
