Superbad Directed By Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg
"Superbad," is another comedy from producers of "The 40 Year Old Virgin," and "Knocked Up," to recently hit theaters. Very similar to that of American Pie, the story revolves around three (loser) high school seniors, Seth, Evan and Fogell, and their attempt to take one last shot at losing their virginity before they head off to college.
The brilliance of the script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg is that it presents the greatest reality of teen life: friendship. There's only one thing more important to high school geeks than their computers, and that's their best friends. Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are the dynamic dweeb duo of the film who must wrestle with the fact that they will be going their own geeky ways when they go to different colleges in the fall.
It's no coincidence that the names of the lead characters are the same as the screenwriters. They too were best friends when started the script when they were 13, and simply wanted 'to see if they could write a movie.'
The plot centers around Seth and Even who were invited to the biggest party of the year. The only catch is that they have to bring the alcohol. Convinced that if he provides the booze, the prettiest girl in school Jules (Emma Stone) will have sex with him. Seth is the driving force behind their plan.
Evan, the more romantic of the two, has a chivalrous idea of love and dating which has prevented him from speaking to the object of his attentions, Becca (Martha MacIsaac). With the alcohol mission, Seth has Evan convinced that this is his ticket to some pre-graduation sexual pleasures. This leads to a series of misadventures as they try to acquire a laundry list of liquor and get to the party in time to enjoy the succession of their mission. Superbad is hilariously funny and can be enjoyed by everyone. See it at the movies today.
