A very funny alcoholic adventure

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2014)

Superbad is comedy with lots of laughs and a great story about teens going to college and making one final stand to do what they loved best about high school and being friends. The film mixes good laughs and genuine emotion of the characters to create a very good film which could be considered one the best teen comedies round, and definitely the best of the 2000's. I felt as I said that it wad Very Good, and here is why I did.
The story is great and moves along a fantastic pace mixing character stories between each other and running into one another with unpredictable and funny circumstances. What sets this story apart from other party films is that the film has a preparation for the party and then what happens after the party and so you get to know what the characters are like whether sober or drunk. With fantastic lines and fun characters it makes the story even better and one you can see over and over.
I liked the cast who do a great job with the comedy and even with there movements can make you chuckle. Jonah Hill is the comedy king of this movie and serves up nearly every joke in this with fine brilliance and calm sophistication. Michael Cera is the more rational mind but he does it well and although not so funny still manages to set the other funny characters off. The entire supporting cast around that such as Bill Hader and Seth Rogen among others do a great job and just add to the laughs of this very funny movie.
The script obviously is the funny bone and without a decent script it would be a terrible film, and so all acclaim must go to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who one are the basis of this film, but also the great writers of this who mix comedy and friendship well together so that it isn't sweet but not too sour either. The direction also needs praise as much of that is what makes it funny with fast scenes that you just think "WOAHHH", perfection in this genre of comedy.
Any bad things come, well I am not sure, some jokes do miss the mark but never that badly. I feel some people also will hate the crude humour and so that is basis for some criticism to say it relies on that type of humour, but what do you expect from a teen comedy like this. Yet again it is your perspective when it comes to criticism and what YOU like and don't like in comedy, some will like some won't, but I do think the majority will enjoy this.
I would recommend it to basically to who I said would enjoy it, those who like teen comedies should be pleased by this and American Pie fans should equally be pleased by it. Don't watch if you don't appreciate drunken behaviour and sexual tones too because this is chock full of it, maybe only certain people will like it and possibly being a teen comedy, it is aimed at making teens and young adults laugh.
Strongly a Very Good film and I felt it was super close to being a straight great but wasn't quite a there at great and excellent film but all the same very good is no underrating nor overrating. Watch it with friends and drink and eat with it and go with the flow, the party can entertain large groups of people at a time and laughs with come from all corners of the room.
