Superbad is one of the well written and best performed comedies of the decade. It totally cracked me up after a long time with its fresh authentic jokes. After being numbed by Hollywood clichéd teen comedies, Superbad gave me some genuine laughs. One might classify this movie as modern day 'American Pie' but it has got much more than that. I don't know how I missed out on Superbad initially. Now it's definitely going into my favorites.
Jokes in the movie originate from storyline without jeopardizing the flow and pace. You have to give it to Seth Rogen for his brilliant writing. I am a fan of Seth Rogen's works ever since 'Knocked up'. You can definitely see Apatow's style throughout movie. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill, who are two pillars of the story, delivered some excellent piece of acting here. Especially Jonah Hill has awesome dialog delivery skills. His character is not the usual high school fat kid who does freaky stuffs. He rather plays a sensitive, smart and equally funny role. Emma Stone is irresistibly hot with her new looks that suits her quite well. The cool irresponsible cop roles played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader, sabotaging every possible investigation, is so hilarious to watch. You can also find other Apatow's usual cast doing their part.
Another nice thing about Superbad is that the crude and explicit nature of jokes are smartly exploited which makes them enjoyable eliminating the gross element. It's quite rare to find a comedy movie that's so natural, funny and fast-paced. If you want to take a break, spend some time without getting bored, Superbad is recommended. The movie has some feel-good elements too. You'll get to know when you see.
