They said that would happen in health class

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2007)

I must admit, I didn't have very high expectations for "Superbad" going in to the film. I still had a bit of a sour taste in my mouth from "Knocked Up", and based on that I thought the people involved making this pseudo-series of films were just trying to ride the wave of success that "40 Year Old Virgin" created and milk as much money out of it as they could.
And things weren't looking good at the start. It was pretty much all "penis jokes" for the first 20 minutes, and personally I think they could have done better than that. But from that point on things really turned around, and I ended up really liking the film. Some of the scenes and lines will LIVE FOREVER, without a doubt in my mind (i.e. the scene with Becca and Evan in the bedroom). I think they went back to a more 40YOV feel, and that was a very good idea.
The only other complaint I had was with the ending...I thought it was a LITTLE too cheesy and not very realistic, but hey, I'm a nit-picker. So yeah, the beginning and end could have been a little better, but a good chunk of "Superbad" is some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a while. Definitely worth watching...
