Not quite good enough

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2007)

It's the year 2007 and a new generation of high school comedies is born. New actors, new schools, same jokes and same weak story lines. In Superbad three friends are about to leave high school and are trying their hardest to get into one of the cooler parties. The first hurdle to take is the fact that they are under 21 and want alcohol really bad. More hurdles are to to be taken, so don't turn away just yet. And so the film starts and rolls on. And some of the characters are actually good fun. For me Seth worked out very nicely. I could have been that guy.
But what was stated above stays true. It is nothing more but a rehash of many of the better student films of the past decades. Just different people attending different schools. It just doesn't add anything new to it. Nothing at all. Just more incredibility's and plot twists that just do not happen in real life.
5 out of 10 under aged drinkers
