Review: Superbad
Penguin February 5th, 2008
Rating: 2/4 stars
Superbad is about two high-school boys who try to get “in” to a party and some girls’ pants by providing booze.
There are parts of the movie that are entertaining. There’s a scene early when Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) gets a fake driver’s license. When given the option to choose a name, he decided on “McLoven”. The whole exchange is clever and funny. And when you think about it, Fogell is the only interesting character in the entire movie. I really don’t remember the other guys.
We’ve seen Superbad before. We’ve pretty much seen everything that happens. When it was over, I had this sensation that I had just watched American Pie. And that’s the problem. It’s just like every other high-school raunchy comedy. Which is not to say that’s bad. I just look for my movies to do something a little different, go someplace new.
