Superbad : 3 of 5
8.23.2007 7:01 AM \| Link	Imagine your favorite 80s teenager movie, about high school kids trying to be cool, get drunk, and get the girls, and then add in a huge dose of modern raunchiness and sarcasm, and you come up with Superbad! That's definitely not a negative comment - this movie is hilarious! I was just amazed at how many times these kids can drop an F-bomb in an average sentence, but there's no doubt that the script is incredibly funny. There are even some fairly long segments of Tarantino-esque dialogue, but the actors are so good and the lines are so genuine that they completely make it work. There's nothing special about the plot (get the booze, get the girls), but the supporting characters really make the movie, especially the two cops who like to have a few beers and practice shooting at stop signs! They make friends with McLovin (which is the fake ID name of one of the boys), and their adventures are the best part of the movie. There's a minor message about accepting each other as best friends, with an unexpected tense argument scene that I didn't really think was necessary, but most of the movie is non-stop craziness. Superbad is absolutely jam-packed with hysterical lines that you really want to remember to use with your friends, but there are so many of them that it's impossible to recall more than one or two when you leave the theater (I'll definitely rent it on DVD to check them out again). If you're looking for an incredibly funny movie (and you can handle some truly crude humor), check out Superbad and laugh until your Coke comes out your nose! Labels: movies
