Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen is one of Judd Apatow’s go to guys for his goofy comedy movies.  Seth is a Canadian born American actor who also does stand up comedy, writes, produces, and directs.  Seth was born April 15th 1982 in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.  Rogen was born to liberal Jewish parents.Image result for seth rogen comedy

When Seth was only 13, he began doing stand up comedy at a local comedy club.  He was performing among people that were more than twice his age.  Three years later, he auditioned for a High-school television comedy drama called “Freaks and Geeks”.  Although the show was short lived, producer Judd Apatow was extremely impressed with Seths ability in front of the camera and hired him as an actor and writer on his new series “Undeclared”.  This series met a similar fate to “Freaks and Geeks” so Seth began working as a writer for Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Da Ali G Show”Image result for seth rogen

Although Seth and Judd went different paths, this wasn’t the end of their careers together.  Seth made appearances in some of Judd’s early films such as “The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and “The 40 Year Old Virgin”.  Rogen’s collaboration with Judd didn’t end their either.  They went on to produce hit movies such as Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Neighbors.  

Seth really did have an extremely impressive and accomplishing career.  Ever since he was 13, he was showing signs of something special.  The best part is, his career isn’t over yet.  He still has movies set to come out and will have many more to come.  He truly is a cinematic legend and I expect good things in his future.

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill was born on December 20th, 1983 in Los Angeles California.  Hill started his career with inspirations of being a writer.  He wanted to be a writer for The Simpsons or Saturday Night Live. In College, he moved to New York to study drama at The New School where he began writing and performing plays. Image result for jonah hill wolf of wall street Some of Jonah Hill’s early accomplishments were making his first role in I Heart Huckabees, and making brief appearances in The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. In 2007, Jonah earned a staring role in the hit comedy Superbad which won him a teen choice award.  In 2011, Jonah co-starred alongside Brad Pitt in the film Moneyball which won him an scar and golden globe nomination.  In 2012, Jonah starred 21 Jump street, another comedic classic.  And in 2013, Jonah stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wallstreet, which in my opinion, is one of the best movies of all time.  Jonah wins another Oscar Nomination for his performance in The Wolf of Wallstreet.

 

Superbad Best Moments

The video quality may not be the best, but the content is golden.  Judd Apatow’s Superbad hit from 2007 is a classic comedy.  Many movies after it have tried to copy the funny, goofy, absurd style but have failed.  Superbad had the perfect balance of comedy, goofiness, and story scheme.  Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are too funny in this movie.  Enjoy this clip of Judd Apatow’s Superbad best moments.

 

Superbad Movie Review

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.

If you haven’t seen the movie and are thinking about checking it out, watch this trailer.

Superbad, a 2007 hit produced by Judd Apatow.  Staring actors Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, and many others.  Its funny to see these famous actors try and say ridiculous lines and fail.  You wonder how they can do it with a straight face and sometimes the truth is that they can’t.  Through the bloopers you can really see how good friends these actors are with each other.  Enjoy this 10 minute clip of Judd’s Superbad bloopers.
