SuperBAD

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2007)

I'm 22 years old. I enjoy a good comedy. Even the perverted ones. Superbad had a good start, but it's set-up to be a "heartwarming" comedy is sadly corrupted about 15 minutes into the film. Although the obnoxious swearing left and right got a little old after the first scene, I was more disappointed with the actual plot line.
I understand the script was to sound natural, using the same method as in 40 yr old virgin and knocked up, but this kind of screenplay is becoming overdone. I enjoyed 40 Year Old Virgin, and Knocked Up was okay, despite dragging on for more than two hours in length. Superbad is the worst of this genre.
Who this film might interest: Basically more than half of the USA's young adult male population. It's got all elements of junior high trash talk of boners, vaginas, masturbation, etc... And, yeah, they were convincingly real conversations, but it gets so old. I shouldn't have to pay money to listen to a couple of high schoolers have the same conversations I had in junior high school! What I saw of this movie made me lose my respect for Seth Rogen as a comedian. I think I can compare him most with Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy. They both are using cheap humor in order to make a living. They couldn't come up with a great plot if their lives depended on it and instead rely solely on crappy gag-reel script writing. The majority of Americans who enjoy this chinsy comedy and actually find it funny have no intellect whatsoever. IT'S JUST NOT FUNNY!
