You'll be so busy laughing....

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2007)

You won't even realize there's a moral to the story until long after you left the theater! Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse do an excellent job of being the kids you went to high school with. The beauty of this movie is that, as vulgar as it can be and as gross as it can be and as absolutely hilarious as it can be...it is one of the most accurate portrayals of high school life ever to make it to the big screen. Not since Fast Times at Ridgemont High has there been a movie that tells it like it *really* was.
Seth and Evan (Hill & Cera) are those guys that were on the fringe in school. Not so nerdy that no one would talk to them, but definitely not one of the "it" kids. The plot, such as it is, keeps them on the move throughout the entire movie. Second Act Sag? Not here, baby.
And what can I say about the sublime McLovin? The casting department struck gold with Mintz-Plasse as the supremely nerdy but altogether lovable Fogell. You'll laugh so hard at his time spent with the police, you'll need some Motrin and an ice pack by the time you leave the theater.
Well written, well acted, and beautifully shot, this movie is 114 minutes of pure fun.
