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.

One of the Funniest Movies Ever Made. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader & Emma Stone Are Amazing In This Movie!

My first R rated movie. Classic coming of age film with hilarious comedy, redeeming characters, and heartfelt moments. Every 6th grader should watch this after the last day of school before their parents get home (even if the extra caution is unnecessary given that its unlikely you would actually be punished in any way - in fact, your parents may have actually thought it was funny if they were to see you watching it).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If you're of a certain age this is a bona fide comedy classic, but as long as you've been through high school this is a well above grade flick that couldn't be made today.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Prepare for things to not just go bad, but super bad! Two high-school friends attempt to buy alcohol for an upcoming school party at the end of their school year, only for them to get entangled with some dimwitted cops and their simmering resentments. A funny and thoughtful film that explores the complexities of friendship, maturity and growing apart!

... "Superbad" isn't perfect. But it's super close.

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.

Sight & Sound

Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps.

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.
