A teen party movie full of wit and heart.

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2013)

Most all teen party movies follow a trend- booze, sex, nudity, no plot, pathetic attempt at humor. Superbad is the exception. Given its premise, this movie is witty, hilarious, and even touching at times.
Three high school seniors trying to get alcohol for an underage drinking party so they can hook up with the girls they like. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera make the perfect best-friend pair, Seth and Evan, as they are about to graduate and go off to different colleges. This party is their last chance to score with their crushes. Fogell is their only hope for getting booze, as he has a fake ID in which he is named McLovin, a 25-year-old from Hawaii. Of course, everything that can go wrong does.
I'm not much for these teen party movies, as they are all the same, unfunny, gross, a waste of time. I caught Superbad on TV, and I'm glad because I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise.
It is full of sexual dialouge, f-bombs, and drawings of penises, but to my surprise the sex was very minimal. No nudity, but it's not needed, unlike most other movies in this category which need lots of boobs just to get people to watch them. Superbad stands on its own with clever humor, great acting, and a wonderful story of friendship. 9/10
