Superbad

**** Stars

What we have here is the Dazed and Confused for this generation.

It's that good. Between Knocked Up and Superbad, we have what's missing in today's comedies, and his name is Seth Rogan. Based on his own high school experience, Rogan perfectly captures the awkwardness, frustration, and beauty of high school, the days that we all miss dearly. (Example: the only thing they worry about is how to get booze for that night's party or if they can get laid, instead of serious issues involving politics, war, and murder. If only that would last our whole lives...)

Two co-dependent high school guys (played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, who's characters names are the two writers of the movie, Seth and Even) want to hook up with girls before they graduate and go off to different colleges, but, after a monumental night just trying to buy alcohol for a school party, overcoming their separation anxiety becomes a greater challenge than getting the girls.

Behind the gut-busting laughter is also the reason why this is a comedy classic, and that is its reality towards the situation it puts itself in. We all went through exactly what these guys have, trying to find booze, where none of this would happen if they would just lower the drinking age to 18 so kids can live out their lives the way they choose to live it.
