Ehh... Close, But No Cigar

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2008)

Superbad reminds me of a 1980s teen movie, like Animal House, Porky's, 16 Candles, or even Weird Science. Some of the scenes are very funny, such as Seth's fantasies of how he scores the liquor, or the outrageous flashbacks and story-tellings of any of the characters, and things like people drinking green beer, lighting cop cars on fire, or bizarre penis drawings. But after hearing so much about, I felt let down. Yeah, it was pretty funny, and I'm sure many people were able to relate to it. But in the long run, it doesn't hold a lasting appeal for me. I might bust it out every once in a while, but its not something that reflected my high school years, and hence won't be reflected upon much after the second viewing.
