Striking a balance between raunch and sweetness is a tall order for any film, but the Judd Apatow-produced Superbad manages to serve up both in equal and satisfying portions without undercutting a consistent stream of laugh-out-loud performances and gags. Michael Cera (the sublime George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) and unstoppable scene-stealer Jonah Hill (Apatow's Knocked Up) are lifelong pals who attempt to make up for years of obscurity by getting into one blowout party before parting ways for college; an opportunity presents itself in the form of Hill's crush, the lovely Jules (Emma Stone), who wants the boys to bring liquor to her shindig. What follows is a combination road adventure and coming of age story as Cera and Hill tackle crazed partygoers, a pair of overeager cops (played by co-scripter and producer Seth Rogen and Saturday Night Live 's Bill Hader), and the hard truth about girls and their own emotional bond. The humor is crass and occasionally gross but never mean-spirited, and Cera and Hill offer believable performances as guys wholly unaware of their own potential, yet ready to risk humiliation in order to find out. They're well supported by a cast of Apatow regulars, including Kevin Corrigan, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, and Carla Gallo (and Stone and Martha MacIsaac are terrific as their love interests), but the film is completely shoplifted by newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse as their uber-nerdy pal Fogell, whose fake ID handle is among the movie's funniest gags. Classic funk fans should also keep an ear out for the score by Lyle Workman, which features such James Brown and P-Funk veterans as Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Clyde Stubblefield. --Paul Gaita

- One of the top 10 films of 2007.....
Score this another big win for Team Apatow - and mark it down as one of the top 10 movies of 2007. Standout performances from Jonah Hill and Michael Cera and a big breakout performance from Christopher Mintz-Plasse - witness the birth of new cult hero McLovin.

- not superbad, but not supergood either
Honestly, Superbad is a movie created directly for teenagers, and no other age group.The type of jokes, the very very obvious theme of the storyline, and the constant bickering between the characters talking about said subject... this is a movie created for teens.Nothing more needs to be said.So is the movie GOOD?I guess it's alright, but as an adult watching it, I had the feeling I was too old to be watching something like this so my overall opinion is somewhat mixed.
Rating: - When I was a little kid, I kinda had this problem. And it's not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it
It's a high school comedy, and the humor is sometimes crude, but the impulse behind the humor isn't crude at all. Behind its bits, "Superbad" is loaded with genuine and truthful observations about what it's like to be a high school senior, to have the mind of an adult and the judgment of a house plant, to have tremendous longings and yet no power - to be at an age when just buying a six-pack requires the detailed planning of a master criminal.

Rating: - Awesome on blu ray
It is amazing how much a quality blu ray transfer can enhance a film and it is even rarer for blu ray to greatly enhance a comedy film.But SUPERBAD becomes an even more exhilirating expreience due to blu ray.If you love the movie then you know all the great aspects of it from Judd Apatow's production and Greg Mottola's directing to the career making performances from Jonah Hill and Michael Cera.What could have just been an over the top teen comedy with crude and rude sex and jokes becomes instead ...

Rating: - SuperGood
This movie proves that you can get away with foul language and risque situations - so long as the material is funny.This movie could have been a disaster if the comedy had failed, but it doesn't, it is consistently humorous.I also liked the ending, which showed that the girls liked these guys without the liquor and that the guy's devious plans were unnecessary. The three male leads and their love interests are superbly cast too.
