Average Rating:7.4/10

Consensus: Deftly balancing vulgarity and sincerity while placing its protagonists in excessive situations, Superbad is an authentic take on friendship and the overarching awkwardness of the high school experience.

The affable trajectory covers enough guffaws to balance out the flattest visuals this side of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes

Like all Apatow productions, it's far too long but it has a winning combination of cleverly crude humor and genuine sweetness.

[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.

The comic-duo of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera reminded me of an immature, foul-mouthed Laurel & Hardy.

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.

Thanks to Rogen and Apatow we can once again look forward to seeing R-rated comedies.

Raunchy enough, but it lacks some of the subtle wit and verbal sophistication that has always distinguished Apatow's finest comedies.

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.

The thing that saves Superbad from being a profane waste of time is its urbane intelligence and above all, bracing honesty.

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.

... a humanizing comedy built around the coming-of-age absurdity of actually getting whatever it is you think you want.

Maybe I would have been better off seeing Superbad before it became an instant cult classic.

This is the funniest picture since Borat, and more emotionally nuanced than you would expect.
