Product Description:
From the guy who brought you Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin comes Superbad. Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) want nothing more than to lose their virginity before they head off to college. To do that, though, they need to get liquor for the big party that night. With the help of their friend Fogell, a.k.a. McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), and his fake I.D., the three of them go on a hilarious chase for that elusive booze, dodging incompetent cops (Knocked Up's Seth Rogen and 'Saturday Night Live's' Bill Hader), angry neighbors and jealous boyfriends.
Amazon.com:
Striking a balance between raunch and sweetness is a tall order for any film, but the Judd Apatow-produced Superbad manages to serve up both in equal and satisfying portions without undercutting a consistent stream of laugh-out-loud performances and gags. Michael Cera (the sublime George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) and unstoppable scene-stealer Jonah Hill (Apatow's Knocked Up) are lifelong pals who attempt to make up for years of obscurity by getting into one blowout party before parting ways for college; an opportunity presents itself in the form of Hill's crush, the lovely Jules (Emma Stone), who wants the boys to bring liquor to her shindig. What follows is a combination road adventure and coming of age story as Cera and Hill tackle crazed partygoers, a pair of overeager cops (played by co-scripter and producer Seth Rogen and Saturday Night Live 's Bill Hader), and the hard truth about girls and their own emotional bond. The humor is crass and occasionally gross but never mean-spirited, and Cera and Hill offer believable performances as guys wholly unaware of their own potential, yet ready to risk humiliation in order to find out. They're well supported by a cast of Apatow regulars, including Kevin Corrigan, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, and Carla Gallo (and Stone and Martha MacIsaac are terrific as their love interests), but the film is completely shoplifted by newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse as their uber-nerdy pal Fogell, whose fake ID handle is among the movie's funniest gags. Classic funk fans should also keep an ear out for the score by Lyle Workman, which features such James Brown and P-Funk veterans as Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Clyde Stubblefield. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very few funny moments
The teen comedy has really gone down hill.Since 'Napoleon Dynamite' we've been deluged with very average films that are labeled genius b/c of a few catch phrases or gross images.The whole genera is a ripped off and extremely dumbed down series of 'Rushmore' remakes.'Superbad' is right there with the rest of them.You laugh a few times, but mostly it's just woooden acting mixed with overemotive acting, mixed with tired nether regions humor.McLovin is not funny.The big fat kid is terrible ...

Rating:  - Slow, and perhaps a little too dirty, but somehow still redeemable
I was skeptical about this movie because I hated Knocked Up and had little faith in Seth Rogen to turn it around for this one.Overall, however, I would give the film 3.5 stars if possible.The story does seem to drag on forever, but there are moments that for some reason I find really funny.Maybe I've just been exposed to too much Chuck Palahniuk.Some of it goes a little too far, though.
Rating:  - The Best Troglodyte Film I've Ever Seen
A troglodyte film can be defined as an adolescent parody in which the principals are obsessed with raunchiness, gross-out humor, sexual stereotypes, and libidinous frustration. Given the limitations and triteness of this film genre, made infamous by Porkies and other such trog films, I came into Superbad expecting to be annoyed. However, this is actually the strongest trog film I've ever seen for several reasons and I dare say a comic masterpiece.
One, the disparity between the nerdy juveniles ... Read More

So I ordered the Superbad DVD and put it in to watch it and it did not work.The company didnt respond when I ask them about.After I wrote a bad review did I get any response and I was pleased to see that they were sending me another dvd.Unfortunatly they sent me another DVD that did not work.I know it is not my player because it plays other dvd's fine and one of the Superbads I got was a dual disc and the bonus feature dvd played.This company must not check their dvds before they send them out even ...

Rating: - I love you people
Everyone thinks they are so insanely clever with their cliche, pun-filled 1 star reviews. A few of most cunning are, "Yes it is Superbad, Superbad movie", "Super bad, unless you're a teenage boy", "Super-Vulgar and Boring", "The movie lives up to it's title!", "Lives down to its title, in a Superbad way!", "super-unwatchable", "This Movie is SO Vile, Studios originally thought of titling it "Supers*itty," "Supersuckage," and even "Superliberalism!!!!!!!".
Seriously?
Anyways, ... Read More
