Superbad

Can't blame this one on the bride. Brother Scott was over and we all watched together. All I can say is that I glad my son and parents were not there.
The director for this movie was Greg Mottola, a veteran from television work on shows such as Arrested Development.
The writers for this movie were Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It did not take much effort, just imagine out the most perverse teen-aged thoughts you can remember.
The plot is pretty simple. Teenage outcasts promise to get alcohol for a party, trying to impress the women of their dreams, any women for that matter. What happens is sage of one stupid choice after another that connected by profane language and sexual frustration.

The actors were...
  • Jonah Hill as Seth, the nice boy who has a social anchor named Evan.
  • Michael Cera as Evan, Seth's best friend social jerk.
  • Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Fogell,
  • Bill Hader as Officer Slater, Hader is a an SNL regular and quite amusing in this movie.
    Seth Rogen as Officer Michaels, double timing in this movie as the drunken police officer. Rogen has been very busy of late, acting in The 40 Year Old Virgin, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno . Today if it's crude Seth's in it.

I give this movie a rating of 13 of 50. Not too hot.

  • Character Development, 1 of 10, none, none what so ever.
  • Screenplay, 2 of 10. A X rating would have been more appropriate than R.
  • Acting, 4 of 10, the kid playing Fogell was pretty darned funny.
  • Photography, 2 of 10. Nothing special
  • Plot, 2 of 10, its a teen movie, tits, ass and swearing.

Parts of this were very funny, but I felt dirty for having watched it.
