"Virgin" Team Gets "Super Bad"
by Scott Weinberg | July 14, 2006
Discuss Article
If you're a big fan of Judd Apatow and/or the "Arrested Development" gang, then here's a new comedy you might want to read about. Producer Apatow, actor/screenwriter Seth Rogen and the young yet hilarious Michael Cera will present the teen-centric comedy "Super Bad," which I predict will be better than 80% of the teen-centric movies you see every year.

From The Hollywood Reporter: "Judd Apatow is reuniting with his "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" star Seth Rogen for the comedy "Super Bad" at Columbia Pictures. Apatow is producing the high school-themed film, while Rogen is penning the screenplay with Evan Goldberg and will co-star. Greg Mottola ("The Daytrippers"), who directed several episodes of Apatow's short-lived TV series "Undeclared," will helm "Super Bad," with Apatow regular Jonah Hill and Michael Cera on board to star. "Saturday Night Live's" Bill Hader is in talks to co-star.

The story revolves around two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) who set out to score alcohol for a party, believing that girls will then hook up with them and they will be ready for college. But as the night grows more chaotic, overcoming their separation anxiety becomes a greater challenge than getting the girls."

Judd Apatow has a very good sense of what it's like to be someone this age (see Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared), while also making the stories truly funny. Being a college student myself, I have a feeling this will be a pretty damn good movie, based on his past work and the topic of the movie, which actually sounds like it could have some pretty insightful, poignant elements as well.

I'll see anything Apatow makes. Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and 40 Year Old Virgin are all genius
