Superbad (DVD)

Superbad (2007) starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen. Three high-school seniors (Hill, Cera and Mintz-Plasse), close to graduation, go on a quest to procure alcohol for a party to which they have been improbably invited. Their object: The girls of their dreams. The three friends get separated and end up in three different kinds of trouble. Mintz-Plasse, as McLovin, gets involved with a couple of clueless cops, played by Hader and Rogen. Hill and Cera, as best friends Seth and Evan, end up at an adult party, where they do not belong. I hate to admit it, but I liked this movie -- rude, crude and lewd as it is. Most of the crudeness is of language, there is no real nudity. The disc has extensive extras which, unfortunately, I did not have time to watch. The subtitles are very readable -- heavy yellow letters, the best kind. I can't recommend this movie to everyone, due to the extensive lewdness, but I did rather enjoy watching it. Grade: B
