Summary

Comedy starring Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as Seth and Evan, two boys bonded by their lack of popularity. When the pair finally get invited to a party they embark on a quest to procure alcohol in the hope that it will not only lay to rest their geeky reputation but also improve their chances with the opposite sex.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Adam Smith

This teen comedy serves up all the essential elements of the genre - the high-school boys desperate to get laid; the embarrassing disasters that befall them on the way; boozy parties and unimpressed girls, etc - but does it with a scabrous and intelligent wit. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are the high schoolers who plan to provide booze for a party and thus ensure the gratitude (and sexual favours) of its female attendees. Sadly, an idiot friend going by the fake-ID pseudonym of "McLovin" (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and two utterly corrupt and drunken cops (Seth Rogen and Bill Hader) are among the characters that foil their plans. Superbad stands out from the standard teen-movie crowd with its slacker dialogue, universally funny performances and an unexpected sweetness in the friendship between the sex-crazed Hill and the slightly more diffident Cera. Also featuring in the talented young cast is Emma Stone, making her film debut as the object of Hill's affection.
