Revenge of the Supernerds., 2008-08-30
Basically updating the John Hughes formula for the new century, Judd Apatow and his regular gang undermine the world of teen comedy with "Superbad." Two high school kids have 24 hours to get laid before they separate for college, and maybe forever. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill play the two misfits trying desperately to score the booze that they feel will be their key to the cool, final party with the girls of their dreams.
Of course, this could not possibly go right, so Seth (Hill) and Evan (Cera) are forced to recruit the movie stealing Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the new model-geek of Michael Anthony Hall in Sixteen Candles) and his fake ID. A series of hilarious and profane accidents carry the movie at lightning speed. The three teenagers stumble from one mess to another, including one of the funniest gross-outs ever to make it to a comedy.
The really cool thing about "Superbad" is, no matter how hapless or feckless these three kids are, they are never mean-spirited, but they are your typically hormonally challenged 17 year olds with the standard obsessions. Apatow just takes them and magnifies them way beyond actual size, with the exaggeration the prime source of the silliness. This is a movie that hardly has a dragging spot, and even with the mass quantities of four letter words and the hyper-kinetic pace, the "Superbad" keeps the sentimental core intact.
Extra kudos go to the support cast, especially Seth Rogan and Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader as the police officers who come off more Super Troopers than Adam-12. They give Fogell his rites-of-passage and turn him from victim to victor by the movie's end. By turning the message that bad behavior ain't always a bad thing...and can really be funny...Apatow's made a teen-comedy for the ages.

 Who's who in movies? , 2008-08-09
What do Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen (eww), Jonah Hill (eww), & Bill Maher (eww) ALL HAVE IN COMMON?
Hint: They are blood brothers with Adam Sandler, Larry King, Jerry Seinfeld & Jon Stewart for example. Give up? They ARE ALL JEWISH... Who knew? I didn't. Simply AMAZING...

Dirty movie, not all that funny, 2008-07-31
Like many of those R rated or unrated teen movies you hear filthy words used profusely, talk about pre-marital sex, the teens desperately trying to buy booze, party, woo girls and have sex etc. But this movie showed me something I have never seen or cared to see before - menstrual blood, from some girl at a party gets on to one of the guy's pants and someone even touches it and I just couldn't take it anymore. There are limits to showing things that seem fun and this is it.
Cops are shown in a very bad light. Maybe it was for comedy but the movie seems to be sending out the wrong message instead. One guy was real funny though, the spectacled skinny guy with the funny voice who fakes his car id to buy booze calling himself McLovin. He offered some respite. There is absolutely no comparision to the American Pie, or Road Trip, Boat Trip series that offered much more hilarious scenes without the super dirty things this movie has to show. Parents certainly would want their teen kids to stay away from this film and I can perfectly understand why.
One star for McLovin and that' all.

Remember Dazed and Confused?, 2008-07-16
Once upon a time there was a movie called "dazed and confused" (you should either queue it or rate it). Some people simply loved this movie, while others hated it with passion. "Superbad", my friends, is the remix of dazed and confused. I watched this by myself and laughed out loud through most of the movie. This is a story about Seth and Evan. Two best friends who are on a quest to make something of themselves at one of the last "high school parties" of the year. (and one of the only ones they were invited to) The story goes from there. Like "dazed and confused", and many other great movies, the movie takes place in a single 24 hour period. Like I said, it's not for everyone. But for those of you that it is for, enjoy...
