Superbad-Everything it promises and more...



On paper, this movie is a slam-dunk, a home run and touchdown. Whatever. It looks amazing. Featuring the hilarious Seth Rogan from The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, Jonah Hill from Accepted and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and directed by another veteran of The 40-Year-Old Virgin Judd Apatow, it looks amazing.

Oddly enough it is. Most comedy films nowadays show their 2 minutes of A-list material on the trailer, meaning that the film itself is disappointingly unfunny. But with this cast, it blows you away, and you are laughing from beginning to end.

Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, along with newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse combine their different humour to complement each other; Fogell (Mintz-Plasse) and his more obvious "wigga" style ("Gangstaaaaaaaaaaasss... what's up guys?"), Cera's deadpan delivery, and Hill's timing and genius ("Well Jules, the funny thing about my back is that it's located on my cock") mean that this trio will be legendary for years to come.

Rogan, along with SNL collaborator Bill Hader, are the Supertrooper-esc cops, destroying cruisers and drinking on the job. They are arguably the best chracters of the film, with lines like "Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!", they'll garner alot of laughs

So go see it. I guarantee you'll leave the theatre with the name McLovin pounding in your ears.
