So this weekend I was finally able to go see the movie Superbad, which stares Jonah Hill (Accepted & Knocked Up), Michael Cear (Arrested Development), and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. After seeing previews a couple of weeks ago, I honestly didn’t know what to expect out of this movie. I knew the actors in this movie had a reputation for being comedic geniuses, but other than that I hadn’t the slightest idea of a possible storyline.

Let me tell you though, this movie was freaking awesome. The comedic performances from all three main characters, as well as the supporting roles, were amazing. From start to finish, I found myself cracking up at all the wise-crack humor and bizarre situations these high school characters encounter. I also found my new comic hero, McLovin (played by Mintz-Plasse).

The movie starts off with three high school friends on a quest to score a hot chick before they graduate in two weeks. The only problem with their plan is that they aren’t the most socially accepted kids at school. Their best opportunity arises when they are invited to one of the popular girl’s parties, on the condition that they provide everyone with alcohol. Fogell, aka McLovin, comes to the rescue by obtaining a fake ID. From then on, the events and situations they go through will stay with them as they go their own ways to college.

This cast of characters really has something going for them. I personally see them as the next close knit group of actors to continue doing films together, such as what Hollywood has declared, the “frat pack”, which includes actors, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jack Black, Steve Carell, and Luke & Owen Wilson. There view on comedy is new and unique, and I expect a lot more great things out of this group. So don’t miss the opportunity to see one of the best comedy’s of the year!
