I want to catch Superbad super badly

The Judd Apatow-led team is without a doubt Hollywood's best in comedy right now, with hit after hit like 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, all of which are actually funny. Adam Sandler who? Anyway, Superbad is their latest work, and it looks fuckin' hilarious! Advance reviews have really been strong and it's bound to be a hit.

Story-wise, it's your typical high school graduation party/coming-of-age movie in the vein of Can't Hardly Wait and American Pie. The plot is perfunctory in such movies of course. Two high school best friends who are about to separate after graduation plan one last hurrah to get laid and fun ensues!

Check out these clips. Warning: NSFW due to explicit language.
The first is a R-rated trailer of the movie.


The film is written by Seth Rogen (the dude in Knocked Up) and he has a small part too. And for the 5 people in Singapore (and about 10 in the US, which thus brought about its cancellation, sadly) who are fans of the absurdist sitcom, Arrested Development, Micheal Cera, who played young son George Michael in the TV show, is one of the co-stars of Superbad. I'm a big fan of Cera. He has brilliant comedic timing and the fact that he stood out in AD even with its stellar cast says a lot. He is enacting his awkward kid persona again in Superbad, one which he has down pat. I hope his career goes places. HE is the star of the new "leading men who don't exactly look like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp thus making them more accessible" generation, not Shia LeBeouf, who hasn't 1/4 of Cera's talents.

This second video is a short scene from the movie. Absolutely outrageous!


The movie opens in the US this coming week and hopefully will come to Singapore soon. By hook or crook, I'll catch it in NYC! And when it comes to Singapore, you guys must as well!
