Superbad
Year: 2007
Grade: B+
Country: USA
Director: Mottola
Reviewi was a bit surprised they didn’t get a bigger name to direct the film, but it turns out that mottola, who had only really done TV before this film, did a fine enough job with the strong script and characters. the acting was uniformly funny and strong. the script is what you’d expect from seth rogen and pals. it’s got all the teen movie clichés, but it’s done with even more honesty and heart than something like american pie. in a way it’s like an amalgam of american pie, super troopers, and freaks and geeks.
