Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: UN Release Date: 4-DEC-2007 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Striking a balance between raunch and sweetness is a tall order for any film, but the Judd Apatow-produced Superbad manages to serve up both in equal and satisfying portions without undercutting a consistent stream of laugh-out-loud performances and gags. Michael Cera (the sublime George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) and unstoppable scene-stealer Jonah Hill (Apatow's Knocked Up) are lifelong pals who attempt to make up for years of obscurity by getting into one blowout party before parting ways for college; an opportunity presents itself in the form of Hill's crush, the lovely Jules (Emma Stone), who wants the boys to bring liquor to her shindig. What follows is a combination road adventure and coming of age story as Cera and Hill tackle crazed partygoers, a pair of overeager cops (played by co-scripter and producer Seth Rogen and Saturday Night Live 's Bill Hader), and the hard truth about girls and their own emotional bond. The humor is crass and occasionally gross but never mean-spirited, and Cera and Hill offer believable performances as guys wholly unaware of their own potential, yet ready to risk humiliation in order to find out. They're well supported by a cast of Apatow regulars, including Kevin Corrigan, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, and Carla Gallo (and Stone and Martha MacIsaac are terrific as their love interests), but the film is completely shoplifted by newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse as their uber-nerdy pal Fogell, whose fake ID handle is among the movie's funniest gags. Classic funk fans should also keep an ear out for the score by Lyle Workman, which features such James Brown and P-Funk veterans as Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Clyde Stubblefield. --Paul Gaita Stills from Superbad (click for larger image)
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Aptly namedThe Good: Not much. The one small glimmer of light in this otherwise black hole of a movie is Michael Cera (Evan). The guy's just likable in a sweet, dorky way. While there are some chuckles in the film, they are far overshadowed by the absolute cringe-worthy language and the absolute annoyance of Jonah Hill. The Bad: Where to start? A young boy obsessed with drawing male genitalia ... what does that have to do with ANYTHING? I think it was supposed to be funny but it wasn't. And ...

The people who gave this 1 or 2 stars are idiots, probably a bunch of old people. Rating: - Revenge of the Supernerds.Basically updating the John Hughes formula for the new century, Judd Apatow and his regular gang undermine the world of teen comedy with "Superbad." Two high school kids have 24 hours to get laid before they separate for college, and maybe forever. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill play the two misfits trying desperately to score the booze that they feel will be their key to the cool, final party with the girls of their dreams. Of course, this could not possibly go right, so Seth (Hill) and ... Read More Rating: - Still not received!I still have not received this item and I ordered it over a month ago. Rating:  - Who's who in movies? What do Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen (eww), Jonah Hill (eww), & Bill Maher (eww) ALL HAVE IN COMMON? Hint: They are blood brothers with Adam Sandler, Larry King, Jerry Seinfeld & Jon Stewart for example. Give up? They ARE ALL JEWISH... Who knew? I didn't. Simply AMAZING...
