Brilliant.

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2013)

It was summer 2007 and I went to the cinema with some friends thinking that we were about to see a horror film called 'Superbad'. Bear in mind that Cera, Hill and Rogen weren't that famous (at least in the UK) then - I had no idea what was coming.
Raunchy comedies about teens/young adults looking to get laid are nothing new. But just occasionally comes a film which has a bit more to it, a film which is as deep as it is 'gross-out' and funny. In the 1990s/early noughties we had 'American Pie' and now we have Superbad.
It takes place in the run-up to a big party (being hosted by the stunning Emma Stone) and a pair of losers are looking to get booze so that they can get their possible dates drunk and go from there. Their friend Fogell (who becomes McLovin) agrees to help them - but of course, as with all comedy, what must go wrong will go wrong. But unlike many comedies it never gets tedious.
Whenever I watch the ending I always wish there could be a sequel where the two characters are at college, but then again sequels often ruin good films.
