Critics 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.

... "Superbad" isn't perfect. But it's super close.

Superbad is a movie about partying and getting wasted and getting the girl, but as the night wears on, much wisdom is gained too, about self, friendship and the end of teenage innocence in all its wondrous, terrifying splendor.

Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps.

8/10

The oftentimes outrageous dialogue and vulgar exchanges between stars Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are both wildly hilarious and genuinely portrayed.

3.0/4.0

An intelligent and occasionally insightful look at the sometimes scary place we call the adolescent male mind.

One of the greatest films of all time. It’s just funny. I also have a friend who looks like mclovin. And that’s cool and whoever hates this film is taking it too seriously. Also this is based on the directors days of school. This is a real life experience so shaddap

I Mclovin this movie. It's stupid, hilarious, refreshing, and just a great time. The synergy between actors is great and the dialogue feels authentic while the plot for better goes off the rails. Also just to add, the runtime for this movie is nearly two hours which is respectable for a movie such as itself.
