Superbad…
How could I forget to write a review about the funniest movie in a long time?? If you’re thinking it’s a family movie, no. Don’t even try. It’s teenage humor, but there’s a strong chance that parents will hate it with a passion. I know mine will. I’ve even told them that. That’s besides the point.
The movie is based around Seth’s and Evan’s final days of High school before parting ways for college. In their shy and fanatical way, they manage to get invited to the last big party of the school by their classmate crushes. While planning for the party, their cohort, Fogell, manages to get a fake ID who changes his name to “McLovin” like Prince or Madonna. If that’s not enough to bring you to the show, the current ‘it’-comedy player, Seth Rogen as 1 of a pair of officers take Fogell around town showing him how they do their police work, which isn’t that great of a job to begin with.
Between the creepy liquor store guy and the need to return with a product that bears similarity to goldschlager, Seth and Evan find themselves in more Hollywood-like situations that they try to weasel out of, in classic comedy ways. All for the need to get laid. Afterall, what teenage quasi-hipster doesn’t think that? (No comments about Emo, kthanks…)
I loved every moment of this movie. Before seeing the movie, I read some preliminary reviews where people said there was “irrevalant” scenes, I tend to agree on some, but for some reason, I think they were included to become the “phrase” to say at school now that school’s back in session (at least in AZ…). The only thing I see the middle-aged parents liking about this movie is the soundtrack. It’s got a bit of Funk, 90’s riffs, and classic rock that I doubt some of the intended audience knows much about to begin with. I’d definately see this again, and with that:
