A Surprisingly Beautiful Tale of Friendship/ The Funniest Movie I've Ever Seen

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2014)

2007's Superbad meets the classic criteria of an Apatow production; it's a bit longer than the typical R-rated comedy, the film's writers (Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, not Apatow) try to mix raunch humor with some sort of message, and it has a cast of familiar faces including Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. This film is hilarious. The entire film mixes immature and crass humor with a level of intelligence. The jokes alone make this film worth a watch and worthy of a relatively high IMDb rating. However, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill actually do some heavy lifting when it comes to acting. The unlikely duo play lifelong buds who have to deal with something very common to the American teenager: life after college and the changes that come with it. While McLovin and the immature cops (portrayed by Rogen and SNL's Bill Hader) make us laugh in the movie, Cera and Hill make us think about the life of the American teenager and make this a very good film.
