Never would I have thought that Superbad was a movie I should've watched years ago. Superbad is just so damn funny. It never stops being entertaining for one minute, and it has 120 of them!!!
I also held off watching Superbad because of its long running time and usually such long comedies aren't my thing but damn I was wrong here! From all these fun cameos (picture Dave Franco as a random soccer player), Emma Stone stealing every damn scene she's in, Jonah Hill dropping all those one-liners, Michael Cera being awesome at awkwardly singing a song, MCLOVIN!!!!!, Bill Hader and Seth Rogen as cops? Hell yeah! Eminem? M&M! NO MARSHALL MATHERS!! Damn that cracked me up. Van Halen, Notorious B.I.G. and Motörhead? Such a great soundtack and damn, I just loved the ending.
Superbad is one of the best comedies of the 2000's and well worth a watch. It might be a film that will go in my regular rotation. Can't believe it took me 14 years before checking this one out. I would've loved it if I just would've gone off and seen this at the cinema when it came out.
MCLOVIN!!!!!

Superbad wasn't super bad but for me it wasn't super awesome has I thought it would be. It's definitely a very good and smart teenage film, entertaining and funny but not as funny as I thought. It has it's moments.
Jonah Hill and Michael Cera always make me laugh a lot in every film I see with both of them but in this film the times that they made me laugh were very few. The absolutely hilarious parts of the film were the ones involving McLovin and those irresponsible cops Officer Slater and Officer Michaels. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader were so so good! I couldn't stop laughing with those three. Their scenes are the best thing of the film.
Despite the whole unrealistic situations the film knew how to manage them well, but some of the aspects about puberty comedies were just more of the same that we are already used to see in films of this genre.
Overall, I had a great time watching it. I thought that I would give it five stars but I have to stick just with four, which is a pretty good note for a good comedy with an heartwarming touch like this one.
