Superbad - Super Sucked

When it finally came to NetFlix I moved it to the top of my queue. This was going to be a great viewing. The hype surrounding it was incredible. I couldn't wait. Being a fan of such movies like 40 year old Virgin, Old School, Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, and the American Pie movies, I figured Superbad just had to be good. Well, it wasn't.

Maybe it was all the hype and anticipation, but this movie made me laugh a total of two times. That's right TWICE! The story line had a lot of potential. Three losers have a chance to be cool one night before high school graduation by buying the alcohol for a big party using McLovin's (a.k.a. Fogell played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) fake id. They have their individual crushes and it's all set up for them to be "the guys".

But the story never really develops. From the time McLovin is robbed in the liquor store and the two moronic cops (Bill Hader as Officer Slater and Seth Rogen as Officer Michaels) take over, the movie comes to a complete halt and really stinks. It's slow and painful from here on out and the two cops are just over-the-top unbelievable.

This movie is mind-numbingly devoid of any real wit. I kept waiting for it to get better, but even the ending was anti-climatic.

Since I already wasted two hours of my life watching this movie, I don't want to waste much more writing about it. It was just super bad. Read more!
