Seth and Evan have one last school year together and then BOOM college life starts. So they think they have one last opportunity to be a girl's 'mistake' sex. Superbad!

Guy movie alert. GUY MOVIE ALERT! If you are female I suggest you not bother not because it's crude. It just might not be AS funny to you as any of your male friends suggest. Mainly because it's male humor---it's about the penis this and penis that and as much as some females might like penis I don't really think they'd get what was actually being talked about.

As an owner of a penis what did I think? HAHAHAHA. I just laughed...out of embarrassment for sitting next to a female who did not think it was funny and out of scenes that were just funny. I can't imagine knowing people who talk the way they do in the movie. I mean I went to high school and I knew idiots and retarded people and psycho whores and none of them really talked like this. I could never use the F-bomb as some sort of 'uh' moment like they tend to do in this movie and apparently in real life situations. I like other words too much to downgrade to that mentality.

When I said penis talk well it wasn't just penis talk it's penis drawings. Yes...constant showing of penis drawings. I'm not going to say exactly why it happens but there is a reason. Is it a great reason? No. It's a random raunchy reason. What should one expect from a movie called Superbad? I know.

Super Bad was a boring disappointment...a quick read thru of some weenier jokes or some of those funny drawings would have been more entertaining without having to sit thru the whole movie.

I hate you JJ, you are the dumbest "reviewer" i have ever known, firstly everything to do with resident evil that is not a game (survival horror not those weird other ones) sucks absolute balls, its not "zombie-riffic", the zombie diaries is zombie-riffic. Im guessing by how much jokes about penises offend you and seeing penises makes u think the movie "Superbad" is super...bad (very original by the way) to me just shows you arent comfortable with ur sexuality. This movie friggin rocks, the people who said "thanks for the warning" will now probably not see this movie, they will go on a first date with some guy and see atonement instead, he will be boring, he will like it, they will get married and have terrible lives because of your review. This film is not the usual suspects, it is not american beauty or Clerks, It is to be sat and watched and not thought about, mindless entertainment to talk about in the office or class tomorrow, HOW COULD U NOT MENTION MCLOVIN'? did u even see the m

I've read a bit about this movie ( I'm female )... I was already aware of some of the raunchiness, but for the most part, I'm game. I went to see Apatow's "Knocked Up" and an elderly couple came into the theater to see it. I talked to them after the movie and I don't think they knew that the comedy was going to be as raunchy as it was, including the "crotch shots" of the birth, etc. So, for them and for others, I appreciate your honest warning about "Superbad."
