Saw it a couple weeks ago and I STILL crack up just thinking about it. I think it even surpasses Knocked Up in guy-oriented hilarity

This sounds hilarious! Review from The Toronto Star:

3 stars out of 4

There's a perfectly good reason why some of the most memorable teen-themed movies – Rebel Without a Cause, American Graffiti, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed and Confused – tend to take place largely over the course of a single night. Because a night in adolescence can not only last an eternity, it can be the pivot that either catapults you into adulthood or condemns you to a life of terminally arrested nostalgia.

Nothing if not memorable, and at the very least an instant cult item, Greg Mottola's Superbad traces the Odyssean dusk-to-dawn odyssey of two chronically over-stimulated dweebs – Jonah Hill's hyperventilating horndog Seth and Michael Cera's almost ethereally winsome Evan – as they attempt to procure some booze for a party thrown by the girls who play starring roles in their web-porn-fed hormonal reveries. Explaining that liquor is a vital element in inducing chicks to make mistakes they'll later regret, Seth makes his pitch: "We could be that mistake!"

Initially written by the not coincidentally named Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg when they were teens, the sometimes startlingly vulgar-but-smart Superbad straddles both predominant strains of teen-movie orientation. It's got the insider's view of male adolescent pathology nailed, but it also takes the longer perspective offered by a certain amount of "adult" distance – in the end, it's about the fading of fleeting, unconditional guy/guy friendships.

While this probably accounts for the somewhat overstressed narrative presence of two rehab-bound cops (played by Rogen and SNL's Bill Hader) who are unnervingly stuck in their own Star Wars-stained adolescence, it also permits the movie to be wise and wacko in equal measure. I'm not sure when the last time was I found myself touched by a film with such graphic gags about menstrual stains and compulsive penis-doodling, but I suspect it's been since never.

While the after-dark, let's-get-laid suburban epic plot is both entirely familiar and dramatically skimpy, it permits the movie to wallow in incident and fine-tuned character eccentricity, both of which it does to sometimes startling effect.

Along with newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who single-handedly revitalizes the mega-nerd stereotype as the guy whose fake Hawaiian I.D. bears the single name "McLovin," both Hill and Cera are miraculously dissimilar studies in post-pubescent obliviousness. There's the former with his hopelessly hysterical little-head perspective on the world and the latter so prone to distraction he doesn't even notice when the girl he lusts after practically asks him on a date.

Make no mistake: Superbad contains laughs galore, so many that the last one may get in the way of next one coming. But it's also got moments where you may want to cover your eyes to shield yourself from the sheer, wince-inducing familiarity of the behaviour on display.

There is no shortage of teen movies that try to make us love them by catering to our ideal fantasies of the way we wish we might have been. Superbad succeeds with a radically different and considerably riskier strategy, by appealing to our embarrassed acknowledgment of just how hopeless we actually were.

I'll definitely be seeing it when I'm in the mood for a comedy.

Love, love, loved it!!

But, being the bad mom that I am, I didn't look into it before I decided to take my 12 year old son.........uh oh!! I don't recommend it for kids under 15.

So funny, I really loved it. It was actually kind of sweet about their whole friendship and growing up and away from each other, but in a totally silly hilarious way. Just great gags and ridiculous, funny growing up humor.

I have to say I was impressed how the message was "drinking and sex aren't as cool and easy as everyone makes them out to be." Whether it's realistic or not I think it was brave of the film to have a girl AND a boy say to their respective partners "I like you and I want to kiss you but not when you're drunk." In that way it was a mature film about adolescence with funny and immature jokes that resonate with pretty much everybody.

Well maybe the period-blood-on-leg jokes don't resonate with everybody but even that was still hilarious!
