Superbad

I've gone to see Superbad three times already. And for some reason, every time it gets better and better for me. By this time I can probably quote the entire movie by memory, a fact I don't know if I am proud or ashamed of. For any of you thinking about watching Superbad for the first time I only have one warning: be prepared for the raunchy humor. It is full of great comedy for people who like the vulgar of teenage life. The second time I went to see this movie, as I was entering the theater a probably 70 year old grandmother with her two very small grandchildren came storming up to the front desk demanding their money back, saying "this movie was nothing like the previews, it should have been rated x!"

Well as much as I enjoyed making fun of them, Granny had a point. If you think that this movie was on the edge of rated PG-13 to R and they just decided randomly to move it to R, you are sadly mistaken. The storyline is about a small group of high school boys trying to get alcohol for girls so that they will get drunk and sleep with them. To some people this sounds like a movie to steer very clear of, but for me it sounds like great comedy.

Now comes the part where I must critique this movie and give it my own little rating. It was very quotable, good situational comedy as well. The plot tied the three stories together well at the end which worked well for the movie. Language was really rough which for this movie I am actually counting as a bonus. I give this movie a solid A grade for these reasons. You may agree or disagree, but I recommend seeing this movie right away.
