Judd Apatows, Superbad, released August 17th, 2007, is a movie about 2 best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera). Equally unpopular, the 2 teens were inseparable in high school, facing the challenge of going to separate colleges. With only a few weeks left in senior year, they realize they only have a few more weeks to have sex in high school, which to them is a huge deal. Seth and Evan are so desperate, they fall for almost every single girl in the school. Their conversation skills with girls are so bad, that sometimes they will give them the time, even if they are not asked. Awkward. A third main character in the film, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), also known as “McLovin” for his attempt at making a fake ID with the name McLovin, is so unpopular, that he makes Seth and Evan look cool. Every weekend the crew hears girls complaining about getting drunk and sleeping with the wrong guy by mistake. The crews modest ambition is, be that mistake. They get invited to a party by one of the popular girls, Jules (Emma Stone) who exclaims that the party isn’t BYOB, but BYOAEE (Bring Your Own And Everybody Elses). This is what sets the crew on the hunt to get alcohol underage. Bringing alcohol to an underage party will instantly make them cooler. To make the long story short, the gang has a crazy night filled with mistakes, laughter, bad decisions, and booze. The hilarious film does a great job as a satire towards the high school days. Writing this review makes me want to re watch the film, as it would take me back to the high school days were alcohol, girls, and parties are all new.
