Superbad New to DVD
by Jessenma
Following in the footsteps of Can’t Hardly Wait and Dazed and Confused, and inspired in part by Super Troopers, is Superbad new to DVD. Although it covers familiar territory, namely the adventures of high school friends at the end of their senior year, complete with untouchable, popular girl love interest and the requisite epic parents-are-out-of-town house party, it is still well worth checking out.
Brought to you by the creative minds behind Knocked Up and 40 Year-old Virgin, the writers again found the perfect balance between bawdy humor and sentimentality to produce comedy gold. This movie features some familair faces including Seth Rogen and Michael Cera of Arrested Development fame who, it seems, tapped into his inner George Michael to once again play the fumbling nice guy foil to his scheming, hormone-filled counterpart. The best performance, however, was by new-found talent and industry outsider Christopher Mintz-Plasse who plays Fogell, aka. McLovin. Endlessly quotable and ferociously funny, this movie is a must-see.
