Super McLovin.........

I have recently heard Superbad called the funniest teenage comedy in years......

First of all......If you are a fan of the high school sexy comedy this is a movie for you. If American Pie or Fast Times at Ridgemont High weren't your cup of tea then you should probably pass on this movie.

However if there is a place in your heart for both loveable and unlovable nerds on a quest for booz and sex before high school ends then Superbad is a movie for you.

Fortunately for me there is just such a place in my heart........

Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play best friends Seth and Evan about to graduate high school and head off to different colleges and they are fully aware that once this happens their friendship will never be the same. So when Seth is approached by a popular girl in school that he has a crush on to get alcohol for her party and fellow nerd Fogell A.K.A McLovin gets a fake ID a night of adventure begins.

I will say this film defiantly earns every bit of its R rating so consider yourself warned. However underneath all the crude jokes is a very realistic story of two friends who are totally devoted to one another and are having to deal with growing up and the risk that brings of growing apart.

Newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse steals ever scene he is in as super nerd Fogell who through the coarse of the film becomes McLovin. His lack of being an established actor shines but it also adds a realistic feel to this film where besides a few hilarious side adventures you can actually imagine something very close to this film actually happening in real life.

I am torn on whether to rate this movie with my heart or my head........So it gets a very enthusiastic eightDacks. Perfect for a guys only night........especially if you were ever a nerd in school.
