Critics Consensus

Deftly balancing vulgarity and sincerity while placing its protagonists in excessive situations, Superbad is an authentic take on friendship and the overarching awkwardness of the high school experience.

... "Superbad" isn't perfect. But it's super close. Go to Full Review
Scott Foundas Village Voice 08/03/2013
Superbad is a movie about partying and getting wasted and getting the girl, but as the night wears on, much wisdom is gained too, about self, friendship and the end of teenage innocence in all its wondrous, terrifying splendor. Go to Full Review
Ryan Gilbey Sight & Sound 07/06/2010
Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps. Go to Full Review

poppin Sep 17 The GOAT of comedies See more Elliott L. @GreenBeans 5d It’s in, oh my god it’s in!!!!! Absolute GOAT of comedy’s. One of the best if not the best ever. Everything from start to finish is absolutely cinema. Love it, will always love it. Great great stuff See more Paul S 6d This is one of the funniest movies I've ever watched! The story was incredibly enjoyable, and all of the characters were hilarious. Not only was the story great, but it left me swelling with tears towards the end, thankful that I'm still in contact with my high school buddies. I definitely recommend it for comedy fans! See more Matthew D @OceanSage 6d Christopher Mintz-Plasse totally steals Superbad as the infamous McLovin! Director Greg Mottola’s coming of age teen sex comedy Superbad (2007) remains a hilarious blast. It’s raunchy, insane, unexpected, and has a lot of heart. Jonah Hill is outrageous as the screaming mad Seth, who is obsessed with having sex with Jules. Emma Stone is so pretty and naturally funny as the sober Jules. Michael Cera plays the sweet and gentle Evan so naturally. He’s very lovable in Superbad, just like he’s a blast in Scott Pilgrim or The Phoenician Scheme. Christopher Mintz-Plasse delivers one of the funniest comedic performances of all time as the nerd Fogell, who gets a fake ID calling himself McLovin. Mintz-Plasse is an icon of comedy in Superbad, Fright Night, and Kick-Ass. Seth Rogen’s Officer Michaels and Bill Hader’s Officer Slater are some of the most hilarious side characters ever in a comedy. In hindsight, Superbad is one of the funniest comedies of the entire 2000’s era.
