You got to be kidding me.

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2007)

I loved the trailer for this movie, it gave me hope for an American Pie movie, high school kids afraid of growing up looking for their last chance together, and get drunk and laid. Then the reviews (mainly on AICN) came in saying it was one if not the funniest movie of the year.
This film was beyond crude, but not crude in a way someone is just crass because he is an individual, but rude in a way that bordered on being hateful. Yes when I was younger we talked about women like with, but the way Seth was doing it whenever he felt the urge just left me totally uncomfortable. He reminded me of the douchebags that were asses to women and everyone else in school.
On the way home, my wife and I compared this movie to American Pie, both were about HS kids wanting to party, get drunk, and get laid, maybe it's a generational gap, but Superbad was just horrible pulling it off. I'm super stumped how this movie has been called, "sweet" or "good hearted" when it was directed at a 15 yr old boy maturity level. Maybe the internet has corrupted kids since 1999, or maybe I'm older, but the 15-18 yr olds in the theater were howling with laughter at the scenes I shook my head on.
I've never walked out of a movie, but almost on this one. I should've since I only get Sundays off.
I think the young boys growing up don't know squat about satisfying, and woman let guys act like immature little punks.
I also didn't think Knocked Up was extremely funny. I enjoyed it, failed to see it as a comedy. Seth Rogan was a lazy douche that no woman with an ounce of self esteem would be around. But she got "knocked up" by him, OK, but instead of focusing on that, Rogan wasn't portrayed as a juvenile moron, he was the voice of reason.
I guess I'm just too old, but American Pie, and even Can't Hardly Wait, owns this movie.
I've said enough, Flame on.
