Superbad is quite honestly THE funniest American comedy.

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2008)

I just wanted to step up and give this comedy the credit it deserves. I've read so many incredibly negative reviews on here, and they are in my opinion completely unjust.
First off, realise that the film is about a day in the life of three college kids (16-18 year olds) trying to buy booze to impress the girls at the party they are attending that evening, so if that plot already sounds ropey to you, you might want to avoid the film. However, if you've ever been that age, or even better, if you are roughly that age now, this film will relate to you so closely you'll love it. I'm 20 now, and i think this is the funniest American film i've ever seen. Yes, almost every joke is a sexual reference, or equally comic sexual discussion from the three hugely awkward and sexually frustrated main characters, and the film is littered with slapstick. However, the dialogue is delivered to perfection, every possible funny line is hilarious, and the art of slapstick has really been nailed by the whole cast. I've seen it nigh on ten times and i still laugh.
Don't be put off by the perception that this might just be YET another teen movie, it's head and shoulders (and torso) above any others produced so far.
