Super Awesome

#1 at the box office for two weeks running is the hilarious Superbad staring Michael Cera as Evan and Jonah Hill as Seth. I'll make it a quick review for everyone so you can hurry up and see it. One of the funniest movies of the year instantly charming and roll on the floor funny from the opening credits. Michael and Jonah together are comic gold. Michael Cera's other partner in crime, Clark Duke, can be seen in the background of the party scene at the end. I'd have liked to see him get more screen time. Maybe in the sequel?

The supporting cast includes Christopher Mintz-Passe as Fogell a wanna-be urban nerd self dubbed Mclovin'. Seth Rogen (who co-wrote the film with Evan Goldberg) and Bill Hader play two seemingly idiotic cops who take McLovin' on a wild booze filled night on the town. The two girls capturing the attention of Evan and Seth are played by Emma Stone and Martha MacIsaac. There are a few cameos I'll leave for you to discover on your own. The entire cast is great but its Jonah and Michael that really steal the show as two friends faced with going to different schools at the end of the summer.



Team Apatow has brought us another winning comedy. Not surprising as he did create one of the greatest television shows in history, Freaks and Geeks. Yes I went there.

The film is directed by Greg Motolla who really did a great job considering it is his first major film.

All in all, the movie is simply hilarious. It's a simple story about guys trying to get laid before the end of high school, a quest for liquor, and in the end a charming little tale of a lifelong friendship.

It's not at all superbad.
