A legtöbb, mondhatni mindegyik középiskolás srác gondolata a szex körül forog. Így van ezzel Evan és Seth is, ugyanis az elmúlt négy esztendőt egymás társaságában és - gondolatban - szebbnél-szebb, szexis csajokkal töltötték. Az ábrándozásnak azonban a suli befejeztével hamarosan vége szakad. Ráadásul kénytelenek szembenézni a szomorú ténnyel, hogy szűzen fejezik be az évet. A váratlan bulimeghívás pedig talán az utolsó lehetőség a két lúzer számára, hogy elveszítse azt, amije van. Evan és Seth így aztán mindent el is követ annak érdekében, hogy ez így legyen. (SuperTV2)

Talán a legjobb dolog Judd Apatow produkciójából. Egy olyan őszinte, találó és a tinédzserek problémáit eltaláló film, amely könnyekig meghat. Fiatal srácok bohóckodásáról szóló hóbortos vígjáték, amely ötletes forgatókönyvírói fordulataival és dialógusaival néha több filmes élvezetet szerez, mint a kifinomult Coen-humor. És nem sok ilyen tinivígjáték van. Folytatást akarok! Seth-et, Evant és Fogellt akarom újra! :-)

A slightly above-par comedy with a cherry on top of in the form of McLovin :-D Two things annoyed me: the excessive runtime and Jonah Hill, otherwise, pretty good.

This traditional loser story about the loss of virginity works for the first twenty minutes or so when Seth quite humorously comments on all the hardships brought on by his futile efforts to score. But as the minutes tick by, it becomes clear that not everyone is destined to pull off an entire film based on vulgar humor. Unfortunately, Greg Mottola is one of those. The film lacks Kevin Smith's hardened sensibility and is thus increasingly bogged down in dysfunctional absurdities (the cop duo) that, especially thanks to the incomprehensibly overlong runtime, are painfully boring. American Pie remains undefeated.

It is not gratuitously vulgar, it is funny as hell and affably sensitive at the end. An excellent script that isn't afraid to go for the absurd at times, but mostly keeps it pretty real and believable. The film has well written and acted characters and it’s generally a terrible pleasure to watch. I'm looking forward to giving this one a second go. Much more entertaining than Knocked Up for me personally.

Superbad is neither super, nor completely bad. Bill (Jonah Hill) and Ben (Michael Cera) are nice guys. So much so that you end up willing them to get laid at last. But what good is that when the duo at the typewriter gives them such paper-rustling dialogs. They try so hard to be “obscene and natural about something important" like when Kevin Smith writes them, but they end up being obscene and about nothing. Just a little spiced up with a pop culture reference in every other sentence. But just for the sake of it, not because it fits. Another down point is the length. Not even the ending of The Return of the King drags on this long. This way a few really good scenes and ideas are drowned under a ton of filler. And not the flavored filler like you get at McDonald’s, but ordinary, flavorless filler from McLovin. P.S.: Any similarity with my review for Knocked Up is fully intentional.

More than a decade on, Superbad has managed to become an important turning point in the moribund genre of teen comedies, whose target audience then started getting targeted by the grandiose Young Adult productions which more and more revised the dialogue (i.e. the cornerstone of teen comedies) into theses that could better reach teenagers confused about their role in the vast and ambivalent world opened up to them by the internet and, eventually, social networks in particular. Teen comedies continue to be made, but not for teenagers, only for those who grew up on them in the first decade of the new millennium and continue refusing to grow up, see Ted, Observe and Report, 22 Jump Street, Pineapple Express, etc. The last scene of Superbad, therefore, is essentially a symbolic farewell to a decade of comedies about the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and the power of high school friendship. Along with the first installment of American Pie, it forms the zeitgeist of the world of American teenagers at that time: while in Pie we see a post-MTV society just getting used to the existence of the internet, but still resorting to the improvised physical stimuli of porno magazines or warm apple pie, Superbad chronicles adolescence just before the advent of social networking. Here, the actors are on the phone all the time, there are several jokes built around it (have you tried calling anyone under the age of 25 on the phone these days?), and in the end they have no way of resolving the situation except in person. And so simulating the ideal conditions for this will require a lot of dissembling and alcohol, ergo lots of fun when there’s a decent screenwriter on board, and Goldberg and Rogen were very much in form at the time. ___ Otherwise, personally, those of us who grew up around 2005, sharing cigarettes on park benches after school, figuring out whose parents were going away for the weekend and who had the money for booze, only to have no girls show up anyway so we'd end up just playing Dragon’s Den or Quake III all weekend, we generally tend to find the movie more credible. ___ Yeah, and those kind of objective pros: Jonah Hill is unreal, some of the piggish dialogue should be framed ("You know when you hear girls say ‘Ah man, I was so shit-faced last night, I shouldn't have fucked that guy?’ We could be that mistake!", "You don't want girls thinking you suck dick at fucking pussy.") and I'd go a long way for Emma Stone.

"Prci, prci, prcičky" sparked an avalanche of better and worse teenage movies. Some are worth it, others less so. "Superbad" is an example of how nerds are still in trend and how they are capable of simply making you laugh by being foolish and trying to fit in. These two are also losers who think highly of themselves - especially the one played by Jonah Hill - that they are actually terribly cool and - excuse my language - each one of them will become a jerk. It's not that simple, and their ordinary effort to get to a party and be seen as cool guys ultimately leads them to both comical and tragic situations, but in the end, they come out unscathed. Seth Rogen once again showed his talent for screenwriting and came up with a script (with the classic help of Evan Goldberg) that is funny if you like edgier humor, smart if you don't settle for mere slapstick instead of comedy, and moreover, he created two exemplary characters that Jonah Hill and Michael Cera embodied beautifully. I'm not one of those who will drool over the fact that the film is genius, but I still think it will leave something in your memory. Maybe just those two stupid cops.
