Motd: Superbad

Well, the same day people who actually see early movies got to see Pineapple Express, we got to see Superbad a month early. Thank you awkward facebook freebie group!

The lateness of this review can be blamed solely on the fact that this movie made me want to go out and get drunk after...in the best possible way. This review can be quick and painless. It was hilarious. It was good. You should see it.

I got over my hatred of Jonah Hill and Micheal Cera can officially do no wrong. The B-plot following the cops and the other kid kind of paled next to the main plot but it was passably funny enough to float.

I think the loving or hating of this movie maybe comes down to nostalgia for awkwardness? Not to say that I'm smooth now but this movie had me crying laughing because 99% of my life I've either been the meek, awkward Cera character or the loudmouthed Hill character and seeing them in situations which basically have, and continue to happen to me was, I thought, hilarious.

Some people got awkwarded out. Some were turned off my the randomness and confusion involved in the dramatic stuff (honestly, not that solid). But it just reminded me of highschool and how arbitrary, ridiculous, profane and drunken it was. We didn't do anything logically and we did constantly forget how we felt about things and move on to something else.

OH also, amazing amazing soundtrack of constant funk and probably one of the best title sequences in a long time.

Anyway, yes , it's probably sub-Knocked Up but it has some amazing quotable lines I don't think I'll let go for a while and it was honestly one of those movies you remain psyched on for the rest of the night.

Unless you are Warren. Warren didn't like it.



Boo Warren Boooooooo

Tomorrow : I think I may lay off movies for about a week and try to not fail out of school.
