After last week watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World, I thought it would be appropriate to continue with another Michael Cera movie. Up until a week ago, I had never watched Superbad (I know gasp). I felt like I was really missing out on something because I always hear about it. My junior year crush loved this movie and often made references so I felt the pressure to watch but I never did. Even though it has been less than a week Superbad has already proved to be a good watch, just this weekend the movie came up in conversation and instead of silently nodding while pretending to know what’s going on, I actually knew what was going on and was able to contribute.
If you haven’t seen it, the story follows high school seniors, Seth, and Evan trying to make the most of high school before they leave for college. Both not satisfied with their success with girls, Seth and Evan try to get alcohol in an attempt to impress their crushes, Jules and Becca. They run into many struggles and the storyline takes place over the course of one day where they go on an adventure to get alcohol to the girls.
I had pretty high expectations because of all the hype around the movie. I have heard so many people praise it beforehand that I was scared it would not meet my expectations but I am happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Superbad and I would definitely watch again. It was really funny and put me in a good mood. I would highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it already. Not only was it good but because of its popularity, it is worth a watch for the references alone.
If I had to compare Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Superbad, I would definitely rate Superbad higher, giving the film a solid 8/10. I gave White Bird in a Blizzard the same score and I think the difference comes in for what kind of movie you are interested in watching. Superbad is very very funny and could be fun to watch with friends, while White Bird in a Blizzard is serious and dark.
If you are interested in watching the movie, I watched it on Netflix!

I also have never actually seen this movie but I felt you did a good job of referencing different points in the movie. I also felt the use of a comparison was effective to show the rating of the movie.
I also haven’t seen this movie, but I liked how you did explain the plot enough to understand the movie without giving away too many spoilers. I also liked the pictures of the movie it looks really funny. I also like how you commented on how it made you feel.
Like the rest I have never watched this movie. I knew nothing of this movie but I love the fact that now I am really eager to watch this over the fact that I want to get the memes. I also really love Jonah Hill all the movies he is in are hilarious.
