Absolutely accurate (to an extent)

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2010)

We all must admit that somewhere somehow in our teenage years we have had an experience like this one. Maybe our experience didn't contain every single ridiculous event that was shown in the movie but we can all agree that at one point we have had one of these how are we going to pull this off moments. The preparations that teenagers go through simply for one night of drunken shenanigans I found to be very accurately portrayed in this movie. Jonah Hill provides an accurate depiction of a teenager who has only the simplest of ideas in his head; parties and girls. His friend played by Michael Cera plays the role of the more responsible yet still slightly immature teenager. What really struck me as realistic was the addition of McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)who rounds out the group of friends as the one who is a member of the gang but at the same time excluded from the group.
However realistic the movie might have been in terms of portraying teenagers getting ready for a big night out, Seth Rogan couldn't help but add his dash of unrealistic humour to the mix. The notion of two on duty cops knowingly taking someone underage around with them on drunken adventures, while hilarious, is incredibly improbable in the real world. All in all the mix of realism combined with the continuous hilarity that ensues throughout the movie, creates an incredible comedic masterpiece.
