... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreThe movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreSuperbadIts gripping screenplay and petty humor does tickle you here and there, but the sense of urgency fails to create the anticipated impact resulting into a shallow experience in the end. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg; the writers, are doing some of their best work in here but it isn't justified utterly by the director Greg Motolla. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera's chemistry is authentic and hilarious that is supported with a good cast like Emma Stone, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. Superbad; despite of having a runtime of around 110 minutes, seems overlong and exhausting at certain points, but the rest of it sails off smoothly for it seems like a mere special one-hour episode of some R rated sitcom.
... View MoreOne of the best comedy films I have ever seen. A perfect movie to suggest at a party or with your friends, definitely not family friendly. Perfect rendition of teenage high school life and what that looks and feels like. Went in with low expectations that it was going to be a simple gross-out flick with a lot of "I'm swearing, isn't that funny" type humor, but was blown away by how funny the writing and acting was. Hilarious, and kind of touching, the B-plot with the cops made this movie for me. Highly recommended film that I think most should see if they want to know what a good comedy is.
... View MoreIts a comedy and not the best I've ever seen. I can imagine people enjoying the movie, yes. However rating this movie as if it's an all time classic makes me doubt the integrity of the so called "professional" critics. It's a typical high school movie. The movie starts of amusing, but gets old really soon. I would not recommend this movie to anyone who want to watch quality cinema.
... View MoreMichael Cera and Jonah Hill are High School geeks who want to get laid before they go to college but the problem is they are nerds.However they find themselves invited to a party given by supercool Emma Stone as long as they bring the booze and thus they attempt to awkwardly buy alcohol whilst underage with the aid of supernerd Christopher Mintz-Plasse and his fake id of McLovin.It is another bad taste comedy in the vein of American Pie or Road Trip, sporadically amusing and silly especially when Seth Rogen and Bill Hader turn up as two uber weird cops.The film rather meanders along with the boys misadventures in their final days of high school knowing that they will go their separate ways at college.There is genuine sweetness with the vulgar comedy but it is also too sporadic and I was never convinced that these teenagers will get the attention of any of the ladies.
