DVD Reviews of Superbad (Unrated Widescreen Edition)DVD Review: One of the worst movies I saw last year! Summary: 1 StarsThe jokes were not appealing to me at all and I nearly fell asleep in the theater!
Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen!
DVD Review: Stupid movie but fun. Summary: 5 StarsI bought this movie because Reggie Young, the trombonist for Earth, Wind and Fire, plays on the soundtrack. It's a really stupid, teen movie but IS very funny. I don't think I'll watch it more than once (or maybe twice). I like the actual soundtrack CD much better than the movie but I don't mind it being in my collection.
DVD Review: The Title is Very Appropriate Summary: 1 StarsWow, 'Superbad' is just that...Super Bad.
For starters, could Jonah Hill be anymore annoying? All this guy does when he's not standing there with a blank look on his face is moaning and complaining about everything that goes on around him. That's his character...a whiner who groans about everything and is not remotely amusing when he's doing it.
Let's add in a couple of cops who are trying to impress another teenager by showing him how cool they are doing their job. Getting drunk at a bar, driving and then running into Jonah Hill with their cruiser. Ha Ha Ha. That's some great comedy right there. I might have given this another half star if Hill actually didn't get up or was hurt so badly he couldn't talk the remainder of the film, no such luck.
The basic premise of the movie is boys want to sleep with girls they like in high school and are trying to buy alcohol for the end of the school year party. That's good...it's an automatic money machine for teenagers everywhere. I just can't imagine how so many people gave this favorable reviews when there's one funny moment in the entire movie (at a bar when they loop a videotape of a kid getting clocked in the jaw).
It's not funny at all. Jonah Hill completely ruins every scene he's in due to the fact he might be the most annoying man on the planet and note to Directors everywhere: make your female teenage leads smokin' hot in movies like this...not Lindsay Lohan-like trailer trash.
There isn't even any skin shown here.
Just embarrassingly bad, really. Superembarrassinglybad, that is.
DVD Review: One of the worst movies I have EVER seen! Summary: 1 StarsPeople should consider the word "Superbad" not as the film's title, but rather a description of the film. I wish that there was a way I could give this movie zero stars! It was AWFUL!!! And it was a complete waste of my time! (Two hours I'll never get back!) Thank goodness I didn't spend the money to see it in the theater!
The director spent all of his time on trying to make the movie crude and vulgar, rather than funny. Movies can be crude, yet still be funny, such as "American Pie." Well, "Superbad" was not one of those movies. I did NOT find it funny at all. In fact, the fat kid was so obnoxious and disrespectful towards women that he alone ruins the movie! I don't think I've ever seen a movie that insults the level of Human intelligence as much as this one does. I'm surprised and disappointed that today's high school and college youth would find this film entertaining at all. A monkey in a lab would require more intellectual stimulation than what this movie provides.
The dialogue is unnecessarily crude and vulgar throughout the entire film, and the plot is just not interesting. Basing an entire movie on three high school losers who try to impress a few girls by bringing alcohol to a party??? Great message to send there, Director. Not only does it send a very poor message to today's youth, but it is painfully unoriginal.
Don't waste your time on this film.
DVD Review: Superbad Summary: 5 StarsThis is one of my favorite movie of all time. This movie will have you laughing from beginning to end. Superbad is the kind of movie you would want to watch over and over again.
Description of Superbad (Unrated Widescreen Edition)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. 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
