As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the few movies that actually deserves all of the hype that surrounds it. It's just so... So luffly! And funny. And clever. But unfortunately, with a movie that's been discussed so much - its hard to say anything new about it. So, all that's left to say is - it's cheap at the moment. You can buy a copy from Play4me for only $14.95!

Superbad
First, I should confess that I have a weird crush on little George Michael (Michael Cera... Who's character in Superbad is actually named Evan, but he'll always be George Michael from Arrested Development to me). I can't explain why I have said crush or where it came from, but by golly he can make me giggle. He's the quintessential awkward teenage boy, no one plays that character better than him. Sure, you can ramble about how he's been type-cast and he can only play one character, BUT - again, no one does it better!
So, Superbad... the movie uses some teenage movie, gross-out comedy style techniques whilst still staying surprisingly true to life. Yes, ridiculous things happen - but it seems more realistic than in movies that Superbad could be compared to like Road Trip and American Pie. For example, the boys all have a big night out that will no doubt change them forever. In this night out, they go to 2 different parties... And I swear to you - I went to BOTH of those parties when I was in high school!
Plus, the girls in the movie are genuinely likable and attractive. Usually teen movies have blonde, stupid girls as the ones that all the boys are after. In Superbad, the girls are still stunning but they're also intelligent and while watching the movie, I thought "yeah, if I was a 17 year old boy - I'd have a crush on them too".
Other highlights were the sex scene ("Yeah, they said that would happen in health class" - teehee) and the scene where little George Michael sings. Again, teehee!
