DVD Reviews of Superbad (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: SuperGood
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie proves that you can get away with foul language and risque situations - so long as the material is funny. This movie could have been a disaster if the comedy had failed, but it doesn't, it is consistently humorous. I also liked the ending, which showed that the girls liked these guys without the liquor and that the guy's devious plans were unnecessary. The three male leads and their love interests are superbly cast too.

DVD Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars

The Bottom Line:

Superbad is two films warring with each other: a stupid, sophomoric comedy with dumb characters (like the two bumbling cops) and gross-out humor aplenty, and a smart coming-of-age story about two well-developed and realistic teen characters; it's an unholy alliance and the movie suffers as a result.

DVD Review: Classic movie of my generation
Summary: 5 Stars

My siblings had "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", and even though its a great movie, its a bit outdated for me. Enter Superbad. This movie is downright hysterical. I find myself quoting lines with people all the time, and no matter what, we always laugh. Great flick and I am glad I now have a movie I can identify with my high school years (even though that was 8 years back, eek).

DVD Review: Don't Watch it With Your Parents!!!
Summary: 3 Stars

They would freak out! Unless they were like that back in their day. Superbad is a pretty funny movie. Evan and Seth are spending their last few days with each other until they go off to college. They get invited to Jules' party, but they need to get beer. They rely on Fogell, AKA McLovin to get the beer. From that point on, nothing goes right, and that's what makes it funny! I'd recommend SUPERBAD!!!

DVD Review: horrible, just horrible
Summary: 1 Stars

This movie basically sums up all that is bad about our society. I found it completely unwatchable.
It is not just lewd and vulgar but demeaning to men, to women, to humanity.
The plot is asinine, the dialogue gross and not funny.
I can appreciate bawdy humor as much as the next person. There's lots in Chaucer. But this demeans the intelligence of all who watch it.
Far from aspiring to be our best selves, this movie glorifies our worst selves.
I would be depressed if I thought this movie represented the next generation. Fortunately, I know from my own kids and their friends that it represents only the worst of their generation -- not the best, not even the average.

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
