Superbad - Review

This movie was horible, people who watched this were really dumb. i actually lost brain cells watching this movie. i can't believe eople didn' tgive this movie a good ratin g. it should get a 1. 6 out of 5 it sucked!!!

This movie was off the hook! Anyone who thinks otherwise is overly prude to a little "vulgar" language. Grow up everyone who isn't a D-Bag uses the F word every now and then especially teenagers. To have a couple of teens chasing poon not cuss every 10 seconds just wouldnt make sense.

The only people who really enjoy a movie like this are people who have not come to terms with growing up. This movie was so horrible on so many different levels. Its really a shame that the world around us has gone as far down as this that we would find crap like this entertaining.

This movie was simply horrible. I can't figure out how Josh Tyler gave it 3.5 stars out of five, or so many other critics gave it such praise. What on earth did these critics see in it? I absolutely love The Big Lebowski and the Trailer Park Boys series, both of which certainly include a significant amount of profanity, but this was just embarrassing. I had absolutely no sympathy, or empathy, for the characters. Repulsive is the only word to describe it, especially Seth.

Awful, horrible, super bad movie!

I watched Superbad today on DVD, and while Cinemablend's rating for this is way too high (it's more like a 2 out of 5), I completely agree with the mention of the subplot literally saving this movie from being a complete failure.

Without "McLovin" and the two cops goofing around, there would be nothing in Superbad worth mentioning or remembering; unless Jonah Hill's awful performance, yelling his lines, saying Fuck pointlessly every other word interests you. Michael Cera just looked lost and embarrassed to be there.

Overhyped, and with poster/DVD art missing Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Superbad is ... Super BAD!

I'm 31, and my boyfriend is 29. We watched "Superbad" via Time Warner's Movies-On-Demand last night. We watched maybe about 60% of the movie last and decided we will continue the rest tonight. At this point, we're not even sure if we care to see the rest of the movie.

We are not religious, definitely not conservative, and we don't live in a small town -we're from Los Angeles. We have played on hockey teams since we were teens, are avid snowboarders, hit clubs, bars, gone to raves, and even experimented with mind-altering substances. In short, we've seen, heard, and experienced a lot in our teen, college, and post-college years- but yet we both thought this movie was raw, vulgar, and unfunny. The constant vulgar language didn't add to the movie and got old really fast, and it seemed like a weak attempt to get "laughs".

I know they are trying to make it seem "real", no model-type actors, real situations, and I give them props for that, but I think the writing was very weak and the plot was just plain stupid. (And no, I'm not against random plot movies- my favorite movie is "Friday".) It seemed like they were trying to take a movie like "American Pie", but give it the shock factor of "Kids" or "Bully"- which by the way were actually GOOD movies.

My co-workers were raving about this movie and saw it in the theater. I'm glad I waited until it was available On-Demand, but I still don't think it was worth the $3.99 I paid. In short, save your money for better newer movies, such as "Knocked Up".

Honestly, your review of the movie couldn't be worse. You're basically saying that the profanity between the two main characters turned you off to what they were really saying... or going through. I'm 35 years old and can STILL relate to both of them.
I'm thinking you're quite younger and probably religiously inclined. The McLovin characters, and the officers attachd, added a nice break. But to suggest the trio made the movie seems like an oversight my 80 year grandmother would make.
Watch the movie again and, if I may, try to be a little less uptight.

This movie was by far one of the best movies of the year! Its more of a guys movie....how can any one say that this movie is pointless, if this movie is pointless then you have no sence of humor at all. It dose not top American Pie but Napoleon Dynamite is another story that movie was just plan out stupid if you want to talk about stupid movies!

Superbad is super funny. If you didn't think this movie was funny, then you are too old or have no sense of humor.

this movie is halarious at that age all you think about is getting laid and these two are virgins so of coarse they want to get laid bad. people need to stop looking to deep into these type of movies and just sit back and enjoy them and if you don't like comedies like this don't go watch them.

This movie is plain stupid. I walked out about 25 minutes into it. People were laughing but not because the movie was funny, but because it was awkward. The shock value of the language wears off quick.

I heard the McLovin scenes were good but I simply couldn't make it that far. Comedies always start with their best material (Wedding Crashers, for example) and head south from there. Since the first 20 minutes were crap, I assumed it would just get worse.

Knocked Up is a much better movie. Go rent that instead. Unless you're 15, then this might be your movie.

Honestly, this is SUCH a rude movie, SO pointless! It made me cringe that I went to see it without leaving the cinema (which I almost did but didn't want to leave my friends). By the way, friends were also absolutely disgusted.

IMMORAL.
RUDE.
POINTLESS.
SHOULD BE FOR OVER 18s ONLY.
UNREALISTIC AND UNSATISFYING ENDING.

superbad wasn't as funny as I thought. It didn't live up to the expectation of such movies as American Pie or any other teen flicks out there. Lots of talking and the plot was lame. All they did was try to get laid before graduation--this is so redundant. Can't believe ppl would think this movie is funny.

Duc:

Please. Way better than American Pie. If you can't appreciate the Banter between the cast, then you're beyond help. I was laughing about the subtleties after the movie was over. That's when I know if a movie is truly funny.

Attention Everyone, listen to Duc, then see the movie. That way you'll go into it with the mindset that it sucks, and be thoroughly impressed!

I haven't seen it yet but it looks really good. I bet im gonna like it. Soo yaaa. Bye off to go see it.

I throughly enjoyed the movie. You may say it has too much profanity, but being at the age of 17, I can safely say I and many others use these words, along with a slew of others, very frequently. I was laughing constantly because I could get beyond the point of the simple vulgar words and really relate to pretty much everything they would talk about. The only real disappointment for me was the way in which the movie ended, the last scene in the mall. I guess I'm just naive enough to think this was good, but shame on you for even saying Napoleon Dynamite was better! That movie was like a train wreck, it was so horrible, but you just couldn't stop watching. As far as the storyline needing more and using "McLovin" as a third wheel, I will agree to that because the movie wouldn't have been much without it. I believe that they pieced it together very well for a third wheel. Remember, these are merely the thoughts of just another teenager and you probably won't care anyway.

I enjoyed some moments of superbad, esp the 2nd half with Mc Lovin and the bad cops, but overall the movie was very kinky, vulgar, and embarassing. In comparison the 40 year old virgin was better and Napoleon Dynamite was much better, very cute and innocent. The latter never gave up into the vulgar type. I think this movie should be edited. I think it is NOT good, and rather desperate, to put F words every 10 seconds (or less) to try to get more laughs and audience from teenagers

"Maybe because he is talented. What was the last, non-Apatow connected, comedy that had a well-written script.?"

Good point. Probably Idiocracy.

Why are they making movies written by a 13 year old?

Jared oversimplifies a bit. He came up with it when he was 13, but obviously since then it's been rewritten and touched up since then.

Why are they making movies written by a 13 year old? I guess that says a lot about what entertains our society, because people keep going to see these movies (myself included).

Actually Seth Rogen wrote this when he was 13, so he actually wrote himself as the Johan Hill character, who's name in the film is Seth. And the actors mostly stuck to the script in this one, unlike Knocked Up, 40 Yr Old Virgin, etc.
