((OK, I didn't get a post in yesterday, so I owe you two today. I gotta clear this backlog somehow.))
Superbad is super awesome!!!!
Yes, I know, it's strange. I'm thirty-something, and I still groove on goofy teenage comedies. So sue me. Nerds trying to get laid is funny.
The plot isn't breaking any new ground -- three nerds are on the verge of graduating and have one last shot at that crazy high-school adventure they all dream about. Toss in some separation anxiety (two got into the Ivy League, one's headed to generic State U) for flavor. Add dick jokes, a fake ID and the random boob shot. Marinate until funny.
But this movie just *works.* It helped that I saw it with a lively, packed house that was laughing so hard you couldn't hear some of the lines. People were there to have a good time, so we did. We are McLovin.
The writing is snappy and realistic and tends more to the funny than the gross, which is a nice change. (Although the dance bit ... EWWWWWW!) This one could end up as an Animal House style classic.
Rude and crude but never fake. I highly recommend this one.
Dude! You just cock blocked McLovin!
