An American Graffitti of the 2000s

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2008)

Every decade, we have to have a film that depicts the last week of high school and all the shenanigans that can occur during it. In the 1970s, we had "American Graffitti." In the 1980s, we had "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." In the 1990s, we had "Dazed and Confused" and now in the 2000s, we have "Superbad." This is one of the funniest movies of the decade though I do not find it to be as funny as Apatow's other projects (40-year-old Virgin, Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall). It is also a great breakthrough for Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and many other up and coming stars. I highly recommend this film to any fans of Judd Apatow.
