clifford_thornton Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Funny... he looked a little younger on screen. Good film, though it didn't quite meet my (admittedly very high, no lie) expectations. Quote
BruceH Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Clearly not as good as Knocked Up or The 40-Year Old Virgin, but worth seeing I thought. Quote
Guy Berger Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Clearly not as good as Knocked Up or The 40-Year Old Virgin, but worth seeing I thought. I personally thought 40 Year Old Virgin was the weakest of the three. FWIW, though I enjoyed a lot of the movie, the McLovin gag was by the funniest thing in there. Followed by all the scenes with the cops. Quote
7/4 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I haven't seen it yet, but plan to. Knocked up was funny! Quote

7/4 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I have no idea what you people are talking about... Superbad, the movie. From the same folks that brought you Freaks and Geeks, the 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Quote
BERIGAN Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I have no idea what you people are talking about... Thats ok Pops, just have a seat in that rocking chair over there..... Actually, I know what they are talking about, but haven't seen any of the films...cuz I am a old coot! Why can't they make comedies like those swell Olsen and Johnson films? Quote

Noj Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I had the most flawless fake ID when I was 18. A friend found it at the beach, a legitimate California driver's license, and the photo was an absolute ringer for yours truly. It never failed once, not even a second look. Christopher Ivan Brosnan, thanks for helping me buy all that beer, if you're out there. Quote

Christopher Ivan Brosnan, thanks for helping me buy all that beer, if you're out there. I lived for a couple of years with a fake Pennsylvania license printed on the back of a check. The "commissioner of public safety" signing the document was named B.S.Really. It got me into the Plugged Nickel which required attendees to be at least 25 to keep the riff raff out. Mr Really allowed me to see Coltrane (twice), Miles, Monk, Wes, JOS, Horace, etc. Quote

Mr Really allowed me to see Coltrane (twice), Miles, Monk, Wes, JOS, Horace, etc. I had a out of state ID that I used primarily to get into shows as well. It had to be the worst fake ID ever because the person looked nothing like me, it had been expired for 2 years when it was given me, and it said I was a foot shorter with a different eye color. I am thankful I had the ID though because it enabled me to see a ton of hip hop shows at First Avenue, like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, etc. Quote
HolyStitt Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Clearly not as good as Knocked Up or The 40-Year Old Virgin, but worth seeing I thought. I would second that. I think I had a great time with Super Bad because I went to movie not expecting it to have the same payoffs as those movies. Instead I expected something on the level of Porky's or American Pie, so I was happy with the results. Quote

Instead I expected something on the level of Porky's or American Pie, so I was happy with the results. I had a similar reaction. Just before seeing Superbad, I talked with a friend who gave me all the reasons why he wasn't going to bother seeing it (and he was a fan of Knocked Up)---consequently, I went in expecting it to be rather weak, so I had a great time. The magic of lowered expectations. Quote

Alexander Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Posted September 8, 2007 Two reasons I LOVED "Superbad" (aside from the fact that it was just really funny): It actually has a GREAT message about underage drinking (for those who haven't seen the film, I won't spoil it, but I'll just say that getting girls drunk does NOT have the effect these guys imagine it will) and it's really a very sweet story about the kind of close friendships that geeky guys develop in high school (I say this speaking from the perspective of a geeky guy). The kind of guys portrayed in the film (smart, but kind of underachieving) tend to have one really close friendship which lasts a really long time. The idea of being separated by college is just as terrifying as it is depicted. The film is also note-perfect in depicting the way teenagers talk. It also downplays the role of social cliques. Sure, such things exist, but most movies depict cliques as being absolute: You're either a jock, a nerd, or a popular kid. There is no inbetween and absolutely NO social mobility. This is untrue, of course. Kids travel between the various social groups all the time. I also liked the fact that while there is a bully in the film, he's a very minor character and not the villian of the piece as is so often portrayed in such films. Quote
7/4 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 I saw it this afternoon. Lot's o' funny bits, I liked Knocked up better. They both had a great string of great jokes in the beginning before getting into the main action of the movie. Three Ted tunes in one movie...lucky me. Quote
