You may laugh so hard that you soil yourself

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2007)

Without duplicating much of what is already posted, Superbad is a great ride. Jonah Hill hits a number of clever and vulgar high notes. Michael Cera does George Michael from Arrested Development, with a dark twist. The new guy - Christopher Mintz-Plasse - steals many scenes with his Stephen Hawking-as-a-drunken-teen looks and dialog. Seth Rogen and a whole cast of characters pop up and help keep things moving while the movie drags a little during the middle. Anyone with memories of friendship, the awkwardness toward the opposite sex, struggles to obtain alcohol as a minor, and about 50 other high school rites of passage will get a kick out of this. Think the 40 year old virgin meets Sixteen Candles.
