I love these teen/university comedies but usually when they aren't so forced. I know Superbad is a huge hit but it seems more for people who actually think SNL is funny (sorry, one sketch out of ten = unfunny show).

Loved the action scenes and howled at the various escape/chase scenes. The dialogue is a total letdown. Nothing wrong with honest crude and rude dialogue but did any of this ring true? I felt the riffs went on far too long to be believable.

The "McLovin" joke is a one trick pony. The dumb cops was comedy for dummies with zero plausibility. And why do so many American comedies always have to rely on gunplay for humor? Lighting the cop car on fire, too? Seriously, that was the best you could come up with?

The latter ten minutes actually finally felt like the guy had a heart and the kids talked like real teenagers would.

Sorry, but all the cash aside that Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen (as inexplicable and unfunny a star as Adam Sandler) are awash in now is not going to make this genre they have conceived any more funny. Maybe I'm wrong but ten years from now, my guess is people will be wondering exactly what drugs we were on to think this stuff was comedic gold.

If you want proof, watch the extras. Zero laughs on the takeoffs of taxi cab confessions in a cop car and the "clothed" porn humor in the van (A van? In 2009? The '70s are long over, Judd).

Superbad is definitely super in parts and bad (and I'm not talking the '70s jive talkin' definition of the word) in others. Let's just say for all the hype, I was expecting a bit more than an upgraded Porky's.

It seems like everything Canadian actor Seth Rogen touches turns to gold; "40-year old virgin", "Knocked Up" and now what might prove to be the best of the lot, the awesome "Superbad". The story revolves around three virginal soon-to-be high school graduates who have been invited to a party by hot girls on the condition that they can bring booze to the underage event. Fake ID's in hand, they set on their mission, which will take them on many unexpected twists and turns along the way. This movie has an unlimited supply of drop dead funny one-liners and outrageous sequences. It's very crude humour, but what else would you expect from Rogen? A must-see film.

I was very happy with this product. I recieved it quickly and it was packaged nicely. I would order from this seller again for sure,I was very impressed with how many umd movies you could find on here because you cant buy them in stores where i live.

Bonjour,

Je voudrais savoir si le doublage de cette version est bien le doublage Canadien/Québécois ...

Merci d'avance.

Cordialement.

This movie is foul, gratuitous and raunchy...which might as well describe the lives of teenage boys. This movie touches a part of teenage life that everyone who wasn't "one of the cool kids" can relate to. From the fantasies of going from social outcast to social king, to the cops wanting be appear cool to a young version of themselves. This movie on top of making us laugh, makes us remember what it was like, to be there.

I loved the fact that there were a few surprises in the movie, and that characters ended up being a lot more 3 dimentional than at first glance. Definitely a keeper.

This movie had excellent previews. Sadly, that was as good as it gets. The jokes lack humor (some are aiming more for the gross factor). The actors were well chosen, the writing was lacking. The special features were decent. The commentary was bland, but the featurettes were entertaining.
Very disappointed with this movie. I would suggest renting over buying.

This great movie is even better in HD. The special features seemed to be the exact same ones the DVD had, so nothing new there. But still awesome. Totally worth the money IMHO.

By the creators of "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up","Superbad" is another movie in the same genre as those movies and if you liked any of those two chances are you will like Superbad.There have been planty of movies like this before with guys,girls,parties,fake IDs,sex and booze and stuff think of American Pie and a few others.This movie can only fit a mature audience,but is mainly aimed at teens who are going trough those phases of life.I mean it happened to everyone(or nearly)and will continue to.In Superbad we are introduced to Seth and Evan who are best friends and they are graduating soon and they want to loose their virginity before,its a stupid plot and its kind of embarrasing if you are not watching this movie with the wrong type of person(to watch the movie with).Well coming from the guy who made similar movies you had to expect something like that.

The storyline: Basicly two best friends,Seth and Evan wanting to lose their virginity before going to college or university.The girls of their dreams invite them to their party IF they can bring some booze to the party wich they assure they can.That`s really when it kicks in and the movie really starts here.They try to get some booze with their fake IDs and all and the cops come in and basicly let McLovin buy the booze!(his fake Id states McLovin is his real name with no last name!It looks terrible saying he`s from Hawaii and all).Then they have a terrible night at the party with their girls and it turns to a nightmare for them(McLovin as a funny moment at the party).It ends on a more happy note with each being with their girls but we don`t have any idea of what happens after,still it ends alright.Superbad has many immature parts such as when it shows Seth drawing Penises as a kid and talking about a specific percentage of kids doing such and plenty more.There are some more funy moments but it depends how much you like these kind of movies,personnally i am not a big fan of those but if you are its worth seeing.The movie also shows that cops aren`t always mean and that they can party too!The two cops that were with Mclovin rocked as they tried to give the kid a good time and theose are some of the best moments of the movie and then it comes to a touching point.One thing i liked about the movie is some of the songs of the soundtrack that were used in the movie like Van Halen`s classic "Panama" or Motorhead `s unforgetable "Ace Of Spades".

There are lots of imature humor,you know poo-poo,pee-pee humor and stuff but there are some really funny things as well i`ll give you that.Its mostly sexual jokes or comments such as seen in the commercial(like when the guy in the commercial talks about the girl`s panties and such,well those kind of things).The commercial which by the way made it seem like a better movie than it really is.The characters,i can`t deny are entertaining and likeable,McLovin in particular is a funny nerd guy,the main characters Seth and Evan are great as well.Everyone always had a nerd friend or friends that were nerd who wished they could get the girl of their dreams.Well this movie is pretty much about that and i was one of the people who saw the movie and didn`t see it as "Brilliant" like some critics did,in fact i tought it was pretty stupid but still despite everything worth a rental for those who like this kind of movie.

For the most part Superbad is full of comedy shortcuts and some language intended to shock. In other words, it didn't blow me away with its creativity and I suppose that is one reason I was very perplexed to see this film so widely praised by critics (i.e. Richard Roeper put this in his top ten of 2007). Another reason would be the fact that it is a pure comedy feature and films like that are skewered by critics of all kinds more often than not.

Superbad is produced by Judd Apatow, the hugely successful director of the 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, and it is directed by Greg Mottola who previously worked on television's hilarious Arrested Development. It was written by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg as additionally evident by the two protagonists names, Seth and Evan. Rogan also plays a local cop who adds some great laughs along with his partner played by the even funnier Bill Hader.

Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) are high schools buddies in their senior year before going to attend different colleges. The whole story centers around their quest to illegally obtain alcohol and ration it among some peers at a high school party that Seth was invited to by his love interest Jules (Emma Stone). Seth insists that getting a girl drunk is the easiest way for him to get laid, hence the primary motive to get everyone drunk. Their friend Fogell (Chris Mintz-Plasse) has a fake ID that could help them in their quest but Fogell's ID has him with the single name of "McLovin'" and doesn't seem very convincing. Fogell is assaulted during a robbery of the liquor store where he was purchasing the drinks and the cops, played by Hader and Rogan, arrive to question him. Adventure ensues as Fogell travels around town with these two insane police officers. Separately, Evan and Seth continue their search for alcohol, assuming that Fogell got nabbed by the cops for buying alcohol underage.

I thought this film was at times intentionally dirty and overly derivative. I also didn't find the film to be remotely believable. The cops in particular were entirely too over the top and their antics bordered on cartoon-like at times, albeit still really funny. There are some really great moments of humor here but because the film goes too far now and then, the more genuine moments were in no way convincing to me and that is were Superbad falls short and it's dramatic moments essentially become meaningless. It's funny because I think Knocked Up was close to doing that too but the makers of Superbad want the viewer to suspend disbelief entirely, on their schedule, and only when it is convenient for them. That didn't really work for me but I laughed far too much during this movie to not give it a slight recommendation.

Movies about teens trying to get some may not be new, but this latest effort really tries the hardest to get you laughing without depending on the old staples of potty humor and getting kicked in the nuts.

Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) are best friends, about to leave high school and looking for some action to prepare them for the wild college life they imagine they're going to have. Despite being dorky and potty mouthed, each has a major crush on a babe, and when Seth gets invited to a party by his dream date, he willingly agrees when she cajoles him into getting the alcohol for the party. This brings in the scene stealing Fogell, (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) with his very fake ID that gives his name as McLovin, and things start to go really wrong from that point on.

An unlikely chain of events leads to the arrival of two really dumb cops (Bill Hader and Seth Rogen), the crashing of a party with some very bad company, and the heartbreaking loss of a bottle of alcohol. Eventually they get to the party, where predictably nothing goes according to plan.

While the unrestrained profanity and some of the content isn't suitable for young viewers, the one thing that really shines in this movie is the special relationship between Seth and Evan on the road to maturity.
