Superbad

Posted in best of, comedy, reviews at 9:43 am by FilmFemme

Since I rediscovered Arrested Development in the last few months, I have fallen completely, utterly, head over heels in love with Michael Cera. Could he BE any CUTER? His shy and awkward bumbling is like, why people used to love Hugh Grant, except for he’s only 19! And he just seems so damn wholesome. Superbad, which I have been eagerly awaiting for what seems like MONTHS (probably because it has actually been months), in no way diminished my love for him.

If you’ve seen any/all of the trailers, it’s pretty obvious what the ‘plot’ of this movie is. Kids are graduating from high school. Kids want to get laid. Kids need booze to get laid. Kids get booze but don’t end up getting laid anyway because, that’s not what they wanted even though they thought it was.

I really liked this movie, but I could have stood for a little less of Jonah Hill and his schtick. He has some hilarious moments, but his wacky energy can get to be a little much. Also, I could not buy that the semi-hot girl that seemed to be into him (I am only surmising her hotness because the plot seemed to imply it and she is thin. I did not find her hot or cute at all but luckily her overgrown bangs covered most of her face) would actually be into him. Yeah, he’s a little funny but also kind of a jerk and soooooo fat. Of course, I also couldn’t believe that every girl in the school wasn’t chasing after Michael Cera. The girl that he is all into is totally cute though. Awwww. I hate her guts.

So, Superbad, funny and entertaining! Or, if you prefer, Superbad is Supergood! Oh no, sorry, I had to go there. And actually I wouldn’t call it Supergood, just pretty good. Really good if you love Michael Cera and the whole thing he does.
