Funny, But Not The Best Ever.

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2008)

Superbad is about three high school seniors who are desperately trying to get laid at a graduation party before moving on to college, and being separated from each other. Their plans go horribly wrong, and they must escape from cops, drunk people, hobos and more, before they can get to the party.
This movie was "hyped-up" a hell of a lot. I heard that it would be the funniest thing I've ever seen. It was incredibly funny, and I loved some of the dialogue. The two funniest characters in this movie are easily the cops, played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. But the story around the two main characters is very funny as well. However, this is not the funniest movie I've ever seen and it's not even the funniest of 2007 (that would be Knocked Up). It probably is the second funniest, which is still quite a statement. The one reason that Superbad failed to exceed "Kocked Up" is maturity. Whenever you hear a funny joke, the fact that it's actually mature can make it even funnier. Knocked Up got immature at times, but was also a very coming-of-age type of romance movie. It feels weird saying that, but it is true. But anyway, Superbad, definitely go see it. It's hilarious, and a great experience, but don't expect TOO much, or else you might be disappointed.
