Superbad

Posted by oxyjen - September 3rd, 2007


Like millions of Americans, I went to see the movie "Superbad" the other day, but unlike millions of Americans I'm probably the only person on the planet to have anything negative to say about it. But here goes!

I only have myself to blame really, I knew what I was getting into (rude, vulgar humor, filled with bad language- in fact the word "f--k" is used 186 times in the movie!) but after hearing countless accolades about it, such as "classic teen movie of our time" and "funniest teen comedy since "American Pie" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" I decided to give it a chance.

If you didn't already know "Superbad" is another Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen collaboration. First let me start off by saying, I didn't think "Knocked Up" was all that good of a movie, sure it was cute and all, but it certainly didn't deserve all the attention and kudos it received. Sadly neither does "Superbad."

And not just "didn't live up to the hype" kinda thing, more like "it pretty much sucked" kinda thing.

Maybe it's me but I just didn't get it, maybe I'm not the "targeted" audience per se, or maybe I hung around with a different sort of crowd back in high school and can't relate, maybe I'm too old (gasp) to know what teenagers today are actually like, maybe I just don't understand teenage boys and how they relate to each other in general. Or maybe, just maybe I'm someone that goes into a comedy movie and expects to be entertained, laugh and have a good time.

Well that certainly didn't happen here folks and that's Super-Too-Bad!
Yeah, I went there, deal with it!

I disagree with you.
Superbad was a lot like real "kids" of our time!

I thought it was entertaining & funny.

What did you expect? This is a teen movie!

looks like, i wont watch it.

This is how I viewed the movie before it even came out. I've avoided it and won't see it. And by some of the reviews I've read (like yours) I did the right thing.

If it's just another movie about kids trying to get laid it's been done. Many, many times and done better.

I agree completly.
Me and my friends went to see it, but i was the only one who came out disappointed.

Definently didnt live up to the hype.

Superbad is just another stereotypical average joe movie. You'll either fall for its crude wit and love it or not. The way I see it, the easily amused will laugh with the movie while the mature, intelligent people will laugh at it in disgust.

Yet another movie that needs to be watched, soon

Something tells me there are more cock jokes in that movie than Stamper can fit in a 5-sentence paragraph.
