Superbad 2007

"I just love you. I want to go to the roof top and scream 'I love my best friend Evan' ".

Man, this hold up not only on a re-watch, but 14 years later.

I've seen my fair share of American comedies, where the main goals are sex, alcohol, crazy antics, which is fine and all, but coming from someone who's an introvert who doesn't drink or like parties, it doesn't offer anything for me. But this was actually funny and clever how it was written. But what also stands out to me how depressing it eventually got.

Because at the end, they get what they wanted from the start of the movie, girls. However, by the end they lose the one thing they had the beginning, each other. After graduation, they say "you may never see each other again", which does happen. It's hard going your separate ways, but the impact you had on each other will never leave you. It's a beautiful thing.

What a bittersweet ending to a crazy movie.
