I hope you keep calling it “Superfly” forever. That’d be funny, especially a year after this movie is out of the national consciousness and people’ll be wondering why you’re so into that old blaxploitation movie.
I’m with Khadaji. The ads did nothing for me, and neither are any of the scenes being described in this thread, so it feels really strange to jibe that with the gushing and the general critical acclaim.
Not much chance now. :smack: Believe me, I’ve embarrassed myself worse. 
The problem with Superbad, as with Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin, is that the majority of the dialog is so vulgar that there are maybe like 3 or 4 minutes worth of movie that can be compiled into a trailer, which is why the trailers suffer.
The previews always left something to be desired for me, but these are three of my favorite movies ever, so that’s saying something.
Not necessarily. I remember seeing Rogen’s cop say that McLovin “sounds like a sexy cheeseburger,” in one of the trailers, and it wasn’t in the movie.
Man, it’s almost embarrassing how excited I am to watch the F&G/Undeclared crew making is so huge. I mean, who woulda though Bill Haverchuck would make it big?
That was my favorite part of the movie. He was adorable!
Like most things Judd Apatow or Seth Rogen is attached to, while some won’t see it as a ‘girl movie,’ most women end up liking it 'cause the female characters aren’t just mute tits and hair (see: most '80s movies.) Also, these ones actually looked like they were still in high school, for a change.
Rest assured, Michael Cera is just really, really good at deadpan. Though I hope he turns to writing and bit parts more since his particular (though entertaining) brand of acting may wear thin if he’s cast as a leading man too much.
I saw it tonight. I thought it was good, but not great. I’m not sure if it was the mood I was in or what, but I really wanted to like it more. A friend told me that it was one of the funniest things he’d seen in a long time, and he’s not one to say that sort of thing lightly. So, I think it was built up a bit too much.
I did run into Dimitrious Stanley before the movie. He does a local sports segment on the news now. Really nice guy, he and I lived in the same dorm at OSU.
What’s great was that there wasn’t a whole lot of “Quotable” lines that people will continue to say the rest of the year. That “blow-j” line was hilarious, but there aren’t many more.
I laughed the whole way through. Oh god, when they had that dick drawing scene I lost it. And at the end…It was literally too much. It was a lot like the 40 year old virgin and Knocked Up in that it wasn’t over the top.
That’s what I hated about Anchor Man. Will Ferrell’s brand of humor in particular annoys me. I enjoyed it in SNL, and possibly a few movies into his post-SNL career, but if I ever hear, “It tastes so goood when it hits your lips!” again I’ll kill someone. His brand of over-the-top, unrealistic blathering gets on my nerves.
Funny thing is that Jonah Hill isn’t very young. He’s in his early twenties. He really looks the part though, and he sells the insecurity of the age very well.
I really loved McLovin and the two cops. I really loved it even better in the end when I realized what they were up to.
I think that the great things about the last three Judd Apatow movies is that they seem much more natural than most movies. The dialogue works well. It’s very hilarious, but at the same time it seems improvised somehow. It’s like being around a funny friend when he’s on a roll. It isn’t forced.
I did NOT want to see this move.
I am so glad that I did!
It is HIL - AR- EOUS!!!
oh and easily 100x better than knocked up; which I thought was only marginally funny ( I know, I’m in the minority there)
There was a line in the movie where he apparently didn’t clean them out too well. he talks about drinking green alcohol or something.
oh, and my favorite part was when the cops were ‘arresting’ McLovin, and that asshole who spit on Seth at the beginning of the movie got what was coming to him!
A night stick to the side of the head!
I took a friend of mine to see it, who just last week had a terrible breakup with his girlfriend.
Even he was laughing at this movie! That how fucking funny it was.
“I had just finished drawing this huge veiny triumphent bastard when…”
I was really enjoying it, and then there was that scene where Michael Cera sang “These Eyes” to the group of aggressive cokeheads. That sent it over the top. I loved it.
Agreed that Jonah Hill’s character was an asshole for most of the movie. That’s why I totally bought it when Cera flipped out on him at the one point. Hill definitely reminded me of some of my high school/college acquaintances.
Saw it yesterday - loved it.
I loved: the opening credits with Seth & Evan dancing (this may not be spoiler-worthy, but I’m boxing it anyway)
And I actually got a little teary-eyed when: Seth and Evan parted at the end and Seth looked back wistfully as he went down the escalator
Fogell was my favorite character. When I first saw him, I expected to be VERY annoyed by this kid, but he TOTALLY sold me.
Am I the only person thinking of changing my doper name to McLovin?
I just saw this movie tonight with my husband and laughed so hard my voice is hoarse now. It was funny from beginning to end.
I was somewhat distracted the first 20 minutes or so because the guy that plays Seth is the clone of my ex-husband as a freshman in college. I don’t mean he just could be his younger brother, I’m talking exact clone. It was fuckin’ surreal. Not only do they look exactly alike, but down to the clothes and mannerisms.
My condolences.
I also thought it was hilarious, though I didn’t like McLovin as much as most people here seemed to.
I was Seth in high school…Perhaps a couple degrees less obnoxious since I was able to maintain several friends instead of just two.
But uh…yeah… it was like watching my younger self for two hilarious hours.
I still think Knocked Up was better.
Me too. Except nobody wanted to fuck me.
I loved Michael Cera and there were some very funny lines in the movie - the health class line was a scream - but this movie didn’t hang together as well as 40-Year-Old-Virgin or Knocked Up. The entire cop adventure was pretty much in the wrong movie (although a lot of it was funny), and up until Seth does the one nice thing he does in the movie - ‘save’ Evan at the party - I just had no idea why they were friends. To me, that didn’t have the ring of truth that the characters usually had in the other two movies. The profanity, on the other hand, pretty much rang true.
