Film #21: Superbad (2007)


Directed by: Greg Mottola


Starring: Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Chris Mintz-Plasse, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen


Let me just start by saying that this film is awesome. It is possibly one of the funniest films I have ever seen possibly the best last year (apart from Die Hard 4.0).

It's a typical teen comedy; teenage geeks try to get laid before they graduate, but this one has a little twist. Written when they were about 13, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg decided to emphasize their life. The film follows Seth and Evan, best friends, who try to get some booze for a party so that they can get laid with their childhood crushes. Their other friend Fogell, meanwhile gets a fake ID. Get this: He's a 25 year old Hawaiin organ donor called...McLovin.

His excuse for the rubbish name is that "it was either that or Mohommed". It makes you wonder what would have happened if that primary school teacher would have called her bear McLovin instead.

Anyway, McLovin tries to get booze with his fake ID and gets attacked by a mugger and is taken under the wing of two of the most awesome cops ever (played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader). The cops love his name and take him everywhere with them.

Seth and Evan only meet up with Fogell before the party, but before that they have had a wild ride; getting hit by a crazy guy, going to a crack party and getting 'perioded' on.

Don't even get me started on the five minutes of penis drawings. This film is hilarious from start to finish and if you don't laugh, not once, (not even at the extras on the DVD) then you are heartless and have no sense of humour.

Funniest.Movie.Ever!
