Critic Reviews

  • Bob Mondello, NPR.org

    What makes the film so appealing is the disconnect between what comes from the mouths of these hormone-addled pups and what's going on in their heads, where they're still clinging desperately to the innocence they're leaving behind.

  • Tom Charity, CNN.com

    Superbad is a incredible comedy and has one of the best comedy casts ever. The story is a fun filled hilarious movie that never dies down to be one of the best teen films in recent years. The cats is probably the best part, Jonah Hill, Micheal Cera, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and… More
