Lame title.. I know, So I'll stop you there and let you know, I am funnier than this.
I wish to start my first review on a good note. So lets start with Superbad. Now I know this movie is old news now, however I have never had the chance to discuss my thoughts on this movie to a greter audience before. Also with the somewhat recent release of the limited edition DVD it gives me a greater excuse to rave about this classic teen movie.
As a teen growing up in the late 90s and early 00s, I was lucky enough to watch some great teen flicks that touched on the funny and serious sides of growing up and getting laid. However, recent teen movies have been lacking heart and originality. Until now.
SuperBad has got to be in my top 3 movies of 2007, and takes the title of my most laugh out loud moments in a cinema for a long time.
The movie centres around 3 of the most memorable characters of 2007, Evan, Seth and Fogell. The movie follows them as they get a fake ID, buy booze, meet some cool caring cops, get drunk and hook up.
The reason why I loved this movie so much is that it felt like my final year in school. The hunt of finding someone to buy you alcohol. The excitement of going to a party. The possibility that the girl you like will be drunk at this party. And the belief that you may get some action. Not to mention the friendships that a made distance now as a result of going to university.
I felt every part of this movie was geniune and I could really relate to it.

I fell for this one too, despite not being a devout follower of the Rogen/Aptow connection. (Freaks and Geeks rules though)
Superbad is superfunny for sure and I agree there is an honesty to the storytelling that made me regress back to 18 years old.
