Superbad: A Review

Sunday, August 19, 2007

Superbad is the newest comedy produced by Judd Apatow and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Like most teen comedies, this is a coming of age movie. But what's different about this movie is that the dialogue sounds like it would come out of the typical high school student. And the actors themselves make everything seem more natural. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play well off each other as the movies man characters Seth and Evan (respectively, and which are based off the writers). However, what this movie is probably going to be most famous for is it's second tier character of Fogell aka McLoving played by newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse. All in all this movie was great with endless laughter from everyone in the theater and it's worth the $7.50 that I spent on it....and the other $7.50 on the concession stand.
