Superbad

Superbad (2007)
Directed by Greg Mottola
Starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse

Ok it's been a couple of years since I first saw this film but I had to say my piece. I was really very impressed by the blunt raw humor, it was gut-wrenchingly funny, shocking and very clever. The best comedy I had seen in a while. I was literally in tears and had to watch it over. Mc'Lovin is the funniest original character to have come along in years, C-Mintz-Plasse kicked butt and stole the show. The film understood its demographic completely.

The story is basic; a group of underage sex hungry school-boys are given money (by group of school-girls) to buy and bring booze to a party. The film follows the boys on a caper as they try and purchase the booze and get to the party. Two of the funniest characters in the film are Seth Rogan and Bill Hader as the crazy Cops that drive McLovin around the city. The party scene has some classic funnies including the 'period-leg' which had me in stitches. Also the boner sketch book was just hilarious.

The film also had a brain; Cera's character was extraordinary in his smarts and heart, he really gelled the whole film together and has had a great career ever since this film came out. The dialogue was fresh; its a great script, the kind of film where you find a new joke everytime you watch it.

I recommend this film to own on DVD.
