^ How good is Superbad?

Worth the time to watch.
Seriously one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile,
Knocked Up doesn't have anything on it.

I have it lying around the house somewhere.
Borrowed it ages ago and never got round to watching it.
Lad at work said it was good...but I don't always believe him.

Seth Rogen at his finest.

Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie.. when Fogell got his fake ID..

Evan: McLovin? What kind of a stupid name is that, Fogell? What, are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?
Fogell: Naw, they let you pick any name you want when you get down there.
Seth: And you landed on McLovin...
Fogell: Yeah. It was between that or Muhammed.
Seth: Why the **** would it be between THAT or Muhammed? Why don't you just pick a common name like a normal person?
Fogell: Muhammed is the most commonly used name on Earth. Read a ****ing book for once.

Superbad goes on the agenda. :)

I'm holding you personally responsible for any of my time being wasted though.

I think if someone has any sense of humor at all they will like this movie.
I really haven't met anyone who didn't like it.

If you hate it you can ban me :D

Superbad is one of the funniest films I have ever seen

sweet_nothing 04-27-2008 03:51 PM

I didn't find Superbad really funny. Maybe it will be funny when I get out of high school. =\

Knocked Up was also marketed towards women 18 through 35.

Superbad was a bit better than Knocked Up but not much. So if you hated one you probably won't like the other all too much.

adidasss 04-28-2008 02:15 AM

Agreed, I enjoyed both...:)

Miltamec Soundsquinaez 04-28-2008 02:50 PM

I also enjoyed both because of the refreshingly honest dialogue:
In Knocked Up-
Leslie Mann to her husband played by Paul Rudd, who doesn't quite share the same level of concern as her for the number of child molesters residing in their local area:
"You are such a f*cking *sshole,"
Ha, it rings true of the way that couples talk today. However, it isn't just the dialogue, it's the acting.
In some movies you might see a woman say that to her husband in a particularly tension filled scene, and then the husband might get up, very angrily, and start yelling back at the wife. Not in Knocked Up however, they show that people can be very mean spirited towards each other without being so hostile or even batting an eyelash.

In Superbad-
Bill Hader's cop character is responding to a call about an underage party
"Car 98 on it",
puts mic down, muttering,
"stupid f*cking whore,"
and both guys break into laughter
It's so true that you would see guys acting that way in real life, but never acting that way in movies. That's what I love about Judd Apatow's comedies, he's not afraid to be honest, even if it means exploring otherwise decent people in ugly moments.

It just hit too close to home with the whole the girl he likes has always seen him as nothing more than a friend, the whole movie was just like scenes from my life. I didn't even see the end. I thought Knocked Up was much more funny.

The end of Superbad was super gay http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...slap/pride.gif

Miltamec Soundsquinaez 04-28-2008 10:46 PM

Ha, that's what they said on the commentary - that super macho males couldn't handle the ending because they thought it was gae. I actually liked it.
I figured you were going to post some AVN nominees or something on here.

iLoveBlood 04-29-2008 07:18 AM

i thought No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood were the best of 07.

The Dave 04-29-2008 10:26 AM

I just remembered one, didn't 3:10 To Yuma come out in 2007? Because that was a kick ass movie as well.

RoemerMW 04-29-2008 09:28 PM

Yeah, that was 07. It was great.
