Superbad Review

I had finally managed to catch Superbad with L about a month or so ago after hearing all the hoo-hahs about the movie. Because Superbad managed to live up to its name, it was simply Superbad.

Superbad made me feel “Superbad” from the beginning to the end because L’s younger brother kept wanting to watch the movie with us, but I didn’t let him (he is eight). It was a huge mistake to rent this movie. Being one of the countless college comedy flicks out there, Superbad was said to be the best movie since American Pie, but I beg dear Lord’s mercy to differ.

The movie is filled with underaged teens with limited vocabulary, sex, alcohol, drugs, (lame) jokes, and more limited vocabulary (limited to pretty much “Fuck” from beginning of the movie).

The plot is painfully weak. It is revolved around two (underage) teens who are best friends, desperately trying to buy alcohol to a party, hoping that that will help them to “unvirginise” them (lose their virginity) before they get into college.

The movie was one of the worst movies I’ve watched in a long, long time. The absurdity is that Superbad managed to get into IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time for a period of time. Thankfully, they were kicked out of their spot after their moment of glory.

This movie is definitely not for kids and is for Matured Audiences (MA) only. Unless you have two hours of your life to spare, don’t watch this movie. I would be more than happy to give this movie 3/10 for its Liquor Store scene.
