The first movie's review that I read was Amy Biancolli's impression of Superbad http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ent/movies/reviews/5030667.html. I many ways I agree with what Mrs. Bianolli had to say, she spoke of how Superbad was an epic journey of three high school boys trying to reach the ultimate goal of all teenage boys, to score with some hot girls that are way out of their league. Maybe they will be fortunate enough to be the ones the girls so "What the hell I probably won't remember anyways". Bionaolli also talks about the none stop comedy displayed in the movie that is a mix of dirty sex jokes and the will of high school boys to got some. She also compares Superbad to one of the funniest movies you will ever see that is just about getting some fast food, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. I find this to be a great comparison, even though the main plot of the movies are different the overall feel of the movie is the same. A couple of young guys trying to do a seemingly easy goal but along the way run into all kinds of trouble and misadventures. Now Bionaolli also talks about the two police officers in the movie that bring McLovin, also know as Fogell along on a ride along against his will at first. Now she refers to them as corrupting Fogell but really they were not. They even explain that to Fogell himself when the "cock block" him. They knew all along that he was not twenty five but the wanted to prove to Fogell and themselves that not all cops are stuck up ass holes and that some can be fun. I think the Bionaolli completely missed that point cause that was the reasons for Fogell's adventure of the night, hell he can even say the I got drunk and shot at street sights with two loaded cops. That is the ultimate story to tell people because who else can honestly say that they have done that too? This movie may not have done some amazing camera shots of breath taking special effects but I have a feeling that we will be hearing quotes from this movie for years to come. They may not be used as much as Borat quote but they are also a little more dirty, like "The thing about my back is its one my cock" and "You know when you hear a girl say 'I was so I can't believe I did stuff with him'. We could be that guy". I my opinion and from what I can tell Amy Bionaolli's opinion is that Superbad will become a classic comedy of three high school guys trying to get some booze, get some action and have some fun. I would watch this movie again and again and I sure I will keep laughing just as hard, nothing can beat dirty humor and sex jokes so if you can keep an open mind and take o joke as a joke then this movie is for you.

Fossey, i agree with your feelings with the movie on how it has the same plot pretty much and Harold and Kumar. Superbad was one of the funniest movies i've seen in a while. its a new classic of mine.

Jon: Tone down the language a tad -- this is a family blog. I'm glad you brought up Harold and Kumar and, which is another teen comedy that I need to see, and the similarities to Superbad. They are movies that when you first hear about them, you assume they could be terrible, but are generally pretty well-regarded.
