The affable trajectory covers enough guffaws to balance out the flattest visuals this side of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
Aug 27, 2009
Like all Apatow productions, it's far too long but it has a winning combination of cleverly crude humor and genuine sweetness.

Top Critic[Cera] has some of the best comic timing of anyone working in film today, a precocious sense of the awkward pauses and misread cues in which social panic resides.
Sep 22, 2008
Top CriticThe comic-duo of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera reminded me of an immature, foul-mouthed Laurel & Hardy.
Sep 4, 2008
even if Superbad's not much more than a teen comedy, it's the best teen comedy to come out in at least a decade. There's no shame in that.
Jul 31, 2008
Thanks to Rogen and Apatow we can once again look forward to seeing R-rated comedies.

Apr 24, 2008
Raunchy enough, but it lacks some of the subtle wit and verbal sophistication that has always distinguished Apatow's finest comedies.
Apr 10, 2008
Audiences who've laughed their asses off at Rogen's other work will be pleased to know that Superbad is not just another teen movie.
Mar 6, 2008
The thing that saves Superbad from being a profane waste of time is its urbane intelligence and above all, bracing honesty.
Feb 28, 2008
Although the cop characters run out of steam a bit towards the end, the metrosexual relationship between the leads stays fresh all the way through. Brilliant.
Jan 22, 2008
... a humanizing comedy built around the coming-of-age absurdity of actually getting whatever it is you think you want.
Jan 16, 2008
Maybe I would have been better off seeing Superbad before it became an instant cult classic.
Jan 12, 2008
This is the funniest picture since Borat, and more emotionally nuanced than you would expect.
Jan 4, 2008
Top Criticbe sure to stick it out through the closing credits. You'll thank me later.
