Review of Superbad (2007) by Chris M — 05 Jan 2013
With the end of their senior year at high school drawing near, two nerds (Michael Cera, Jonah Hill) are determined to become cool with their fellow classmates by illegally buying alcohol for a big 'end of high school' party with the help of their friend's (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) fake I.
D. in this occasionally funny Judd Apatow comedy. Superbad starts off well with funny comic work by Jonah Hill and the amusing dialogue between him and Cera, but then the film takes a rough detour and adds a useless subplot with two cops (Bill Hader and Seth Rogen) that is as unfunny as a lousy SNL skit.
What's worse is that it makes up for about one-third of the picture, which in turn nearly ruins the fun factor of the picture.
