What to Know

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.

Devin Gordon Newsweek ... "Superbad" isn't perfect. But it's super close. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Scott Foundas Village Voice 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. Aug 3, 2013 Full Review Ryan Gilbey Sight & Sound Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine The best of all of that era’s comedies, and one of the funniest teen movies ever" (25th anniversary) Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The oftentimes outrageous dialogue and vulgar exchanges between stars Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are both wildly hilarious and genuinely portrayed. Rated: 8/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com An intelligent and occasionally insightful look at the sometimes scary place we call the adolescent male mind. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Bryhan Humberto G Película divertida con distintos tipos de humor y que nos brinda una normal pero cumple con su objetivo que es hacer reir. maravilloso Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Marcus B First R rated movie I ever snuck into at 16 years old. I could go on all day about how good it is but I'll just say that it's a perfect comedy. Funny and an actual good movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Audience Member The only reason why I watched this movie was because I wanted to see Snotlout and Fishlegs swearing. But even then, I actually loved this movie. But the fact that people talk about alcohol for parties in senior year of high school is very accurate I will admit. McLovin is actually the funniest name I've ever heard in my life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review David C La historia está muy bien echa Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. I can see why this is one of those flicks Millenials cite with The Dark Knight as their generational films they identify with. The humor is really good in this. Jonah Hill is easily the breakout star in this. Rogen & Hader are amazingly charming and fun as the cops in this. Everyone else is really good too and Cera has wonderful chemistry with Hill. Hill just dominates though every scene as a larger than life douche teddy bear senior. The dialouge is really good in this as well and a big part of the reason this holds up so well. The editing, music, and cinematography are all really good in this. This does bounce around a little bit in the middle after the liquor store and the humor does die down a bit. But it replaces it in the end with a great charming end about acknowledging the end of teen years and moving on to something else. More than anything too it deglorifies the pedestal teens put getting someone wasted and hooking up in a mature but charming and sincere way. It's actually really smart when it's not being hilarious also. It's something that anyone of any age can pop in and enjoy. Everyone should give this a try once. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Mason M I really don't think you can say anything interesting about Superbad, it's just a fun time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
