Best Comedy since Billy Madison

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2007)

Okay, there have been plenty of good comedies since Billy Madison, but this is tops. If you enjoyed Jonah Hill in Accepted, his performance in Superbad blows it out of the water. After seeing the overplayed previews of this movie on TV, the computer, and everywhere else I looked, I began to think, "Here comes another movie where every funny part is spoiled by seeing them beforehand (i.e. Blades of Glory)" But boy was i wrong. Each scene in the movie seems to be funnier than the last, which is saying a lot considering I was laughing out loud after the opening scene. The addition of quick-witted, slightly moronic police officers Slater and Michaels (Bill Hader and Seth Rogan) only adds to the laugh-a-minute comedy in this film. The way Hill and Cera are able to feed off each other in such a humorous way is genius. After reading the other comments made for this film, I couldn't help but to make the obvious comparison to the American Pie films. Superbad is on a whole other level.
