  • Starring: Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera
  • Summary: Superbad is a coming-of-age cautionary tale about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school. Theirs is a ridiculously dependent friendship--but now they've gotten into different colleges and are forced to contemplate life apart. Evan is sweet, smart, and generally terrified. Seth is foul-mouthed, volatile, and all-consumed with the topic of human sexuality. This is the story of their misguided attempts to reverse a lifelong losing streak with the ladies in one panic-driven night...that awful, humiliating night you cherish for the rest of your life.

    For pure laughs, for the experience of just sitting in a chair and breaking up every minute or so, Superbad is 2007's most successful comedy.

    Might be the most provocative teen sex comedy ever made; it is certainly one of the most convulsively funny.

    As lurching, awkward, and dirty-minded as the three horny man-boys at its center--but not, in the end, quite as funny or endearing.

    The funniest film I've seen in years. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much.

    I left the theater in a disgust. It was so vulgar that it wasn't funny.
