"Superbad" is just plain bad.

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 2007)

The title says it all, "superbad". I rented this movie thinking it would be the greatest comedy of the year like everyone said. Boy was everyone wrong! I'll admit there were a few funny parts (few and far between) but overall this movie brings nothing new to the table (as in laughs or storyline). It would best be described as "american pie" meets "super troopers" (I consider that bad, but I'm sure there are those out there that love those movies). There is way too many homosexual jokes and undertones with the lead characters (and pretty much every male on screen). Now don't get me wrong, I think gay jokes can be hilarious but not every 5 minutes like in this movie. Is the only thing funny the writers could come up with was cheap obvious jokes? The language is just too much as well. Again I like swearing but that fat kid tries way too hard to sound like Vince Vaughn. Its not funny and is really sad. Maybe if you are a 16 year old virgin you would love this film. And In case you might think I'm too old to get this film, I'm only 26. I just don't get why people raved about this movie yet a much smarter and funnier comedy like "the ex" goes completely under the radar (not that I like Zach Braff's other work but "the ex" is quite funny with a great cast). Superbad's trailer pretty much shows you the funny parts and its all downhill from there. The only reason to see this movie is to tell everyone you know, that raved about it, that this movie is just plain bad.
