I love Freaks and Geeks, I liked 40-Year Old Virgin, and I actually really liked Knocked Up, but I know enough by now to expect Apatow to be consistent. Seriously, have any of you seen "Life As We Know It," or that awful college show he did?

The cast is great, but the jokes just aren't funny if shock humor feels formulaic to you after the first ten or so.… Expand

There is lot's of hype around this movie, I think. Its really not that funny. Lots of penis jokes. It has its moments, but its not something I'd watch over and over again.

Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz- Passe do a fine job of being horny outcasts but, I only thought Cera's character was a bit of a drag because I'm sick of cera being type-casted as the shy nerd. Bill Hader and Seth Rogan are hilarious as the cops but I found some of the other jokes to be not funny, this movie is worth at least a rental… Expand

Overrated, So overrated. It was a little funny but really it was just so stupid and unbelieveable that I couldnt look past it and I generally love comedies like this.

The Mclovin story is hands down the best part of this movie and should've been the only focus of this movie.

Amusing but not funny. While I liked the awkward interplay between the teenage characters, the constant swearing just seemed gratuitous and unrealistic, making the characters come across as false in a way that's especially damning in a movie that's supposed to feel oh-so authentic. Uh...and the ending, with the girls? Sorry fat kid. Not gonna happen. Talk about unrealistic.… Expand

Highly overhyped and disappointing. It has it's moments that will make you laugh, but more often then not it falls flat. It's been done before, and much better. Can't stress how disappointed i was.

It passed the time and provided some hilarious moments particularly in the first 30 minutes, but it dragged on too long, the cop scenes were not really that funny in the end. Compared to "Road Trip" this is comes a poor second.

Overrated, was expecting something awesome but it seem more of a rip off of super troopers. Not another teen movie was a lot funnier then this. There was nothing smart or clever about this movie.

Bill Cosby once famously said that you don't have to swear to be funny. Superbad starts slowly, almost entirely to its insistence in having the most vulgar dialogue in recent movie history. It gets better (much better AND funnier) as Bill Cosby once famously said that you don't have to swear to be funny. Superbad starts slowly, almost entirely to its insistence in having the most vulgar dialogue in recent movie history. It gets better (much better AND funnier) as the movie goes on, when they move on from the obvious and lowbrow humor and actually put the characters through some truly funny scenarios. The cops are hilarious and the dynamic between the two friends is touching. This is a gem of a movie that is dressed up like an unfortunate piece of turd. I just wish more moviemakers would realize that they don't need the "shock" factor of predictable "teen comedy" crap. It's like hearing a dirty joke for the first time. It might make you giggle (when you're 12) because somebody said the "F" word, but after hearing so many of these, the dirty joke stops being funny and just seems dirty. Just like many people grow up from those antics, here's hoping that movie making from Apatow and others grows up as well, because they have the potential to make some truly funny stuff, without the smut.… Expand

Typical male humor. Started out good, became increasingly tiresome toward the end.

It has some good laughs, but lots of the jokes just seemed to go too far and this is coming from a teenager.

Superbad

Its gripping screenplay and petty humor does tickle you here and there, but the sense of urgency fails to create the anticipated impact resulting into a shallow experience in the end. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg; the writers, are doing some of their best work in here but it isn't justified utterly by the director Greg Motolla. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera's chemistry is authentic and hilarious that is supported with a good cast like Emma Stone, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. Superbad; despite of having a runtime of around 110 minutes, seems overlong and exhausting at certain points, but the rest of it sails off smoothly for it seems like a mere special one-hour episode of some R rated sitcom.… Expand
