It’s nice to watch a movie about teenagers that is unafraid to sound like a movie about teenagers. Unadulterated raunch…the rebirth of R-rated comedy?Įvan, Fogell, and Seth share good times and porn. This bespectacled, vest-wearing “25-year-old Hawaiian organ donor” flaunts the world’s worst fake I.D with the tenuous poise of a true underage buyer in a liquor store and makes us cringe with recognition. What can we say about McLovin that can’t better be conveyed by watching Superbad itself? Newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse answered a casting call for the role of Seth and Evan’s blissfully confident pal Fogell - the nerd with the soul of a gangsta - and steals some of Superbad‘s best scenes. McLovin (AKA Christopher Mintz-Plasse)Ĭhristopher Mintz-Plasse as Fogell in Superbad We can’t wait to see the whole thing as a DVD feature.Ĥ. Plus, he danced for an hour straight at co-writer Evan Goldberg‘s request, which was memorably turned into Superbad‘s silhouetted opening sequence. As Superbad‘s Evan, Cera, already a master of the awkward pause, gives us all the accidental boob-punching and social discomfort that we can handle. Thanks to Hill, we’ve heard some of the funniest lines of the summer, including Knocked Up‘s “Rhymes with smishmortion” and plenty of Superbad expletive-filled tirades that we can’t repeat here.Īt the tender age of 19, Cera has already built a cult following thanks to his turn as the painfully shy George Michael Bluth on Arrested Development.
That is, somewhere beneath Seth’s years of porn connoisseurship and a borderline-obsessive fixation with sex, girls, and liquor. His role in Superbad is about as perfect a job as there could be for the 23-year-old actor no matter how vulgar the line, we see a little bit of ourselves in Hill’s Seth. He’s stolen scenes in so many movies lately ( The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Accepted) that it’s about time we get more Hill for our movie-going buck. These guys try to play it cool with the girls, hang with each other instead of at the cool parties, and agonize over obtaining the holy grail of teenage loot: alcohol. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and Christopher Mintz-PlasseĪnyone who doesn’t remember high school as an awkward vortex of hormonal angst is perhaps a bit too well-adjusted for Superbad (directed by Greg Mottola, produced by Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson), but the rest of us know exactly what Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are going through. We’ve got our own reasons for loving Superbad, and here they are. Starring in this week’s ode to teenage male bonding, the pair of comic talents - one a lovable potty mouth, the other a master of the deadpan - are about to give audiences one of the funniest movies of the year. To paraphrase a popular ditty currently climbing the R&B charts, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are comedic movements by themselves, but a force when they’re together.
