Synopsis
On one of their last nights as high schoolers, best friends and social outcasts Evan (Cera) and Seth (Hill) experience a legendary evening as they attempt to buy booze for a cool-kid party. Superbad is a coming-of-age cautionary tale about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school. Theirs is a ridiculously dependent friendship--but now they've gotten into different colleges and are forced to contemplate life apart. Evan is sweet, smart, and generally terrified. Seth is foul-mouthed, volatile, and all-consumed with the topic of human sexuality. This is the story of their misguided attempts to reverse a lifelong losing streak with the ladies in one panic-driven night...that awful, humiliating night you cherish for the rest of your life.

Critics' reviews
- "What if Quentin Tarantino collaborated with John Hughes on a teen comedy? 'Superbad' is a decent approximation of what the result might be."
- "The movie is astonishingly foul-mouthed, but in a fluent, confident way where the point isn't the dirty words, but the flow and rhythm, and the deep, sad yearning they represent."
- "It's mostly very crude, often very funny and a little bit smarter than you might otherwise think."
- "'Superbad' is cute if you like guys who aren't even remotely bad, in a coming-of-age tale so old-fashioned the girls might just as well be wearing bloomers."
- "'Superbad' is duly ribald and often achingly funny, brewed from the now-familiar Apatow house blend of go-for-broke slapstick and instantly quotable, potty-mouthed dialogue."
