Great teen comedy

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2009)

I'm very difficult when it comes to comedies and this had me smiling, sometimes laughing, throughout. It's raunchy, immature, irreverent, gross but also funny and weirdly sincere and heartwarming. I think what helps a lot here is that the teenagers really look (and act?) like teenagers and not like twenty-somethings. I do think the teens (well mostly Seth) put way too much emphasis on sex but for him I think it was mostly a front as the teens do have some depth and ethics. The two cops are hilarious as some of the worst (or coolest?) cops in movie history. I also thought the guy in glasses playing McLovin was very good and believable. It's a movie I would certainly not mind seeing again with friends. I think it would be even better that way.
