So I saw Superbad last night. Honestly, I don't think it merits the raves it's gotten. But then when it comes to the work of that team I also thought The 40 Year Old Virgin was overrated. That said, I did basically like both movies, I just didn't think they were as wildly funny as some other people did. As to this one, I thought some parts of the movie worked well (the opening, the cops, McLovin, Evan), and some parts didn't. As to the latter, well lots of people have added this to the long list of recent movies featuring aesthetic pairings you'd very rarely see in real life. But my biggest problem is that Jonah Hill's character was such a bitch. Unless you'd been friends with that guy for 15 years, I can't imagine many wanting to stay friends with him. That said, on the whole it's still a funny movie with entertaining sharp, raunchy dialogue. I give it a B.
