Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Superbad.

What I liked: Actually very little.

What I disliked: It was a smarmy “B” grade movie (which lived up to its title) at best, with poor video quality, poor direction, an extremely weak script and virtually no acting.  It was another “coming of age” movie about two nerds and a loser who basically spend their lives talking trash and fantasizing about the girls in their senior class which leads to a variety of weak misadventures and a few laughs by the largely younger audience in the theater - the age group at which it is directed, despite their prohibition by the “R” rating it deservedly carries with little to no redemption for the poor quality of the screen play.

Would I recommend?: I would not recommend this movie at all.  Adults will find its trivial and trashy humor inane and the age group at whom it is aimed are technically prohibited from viewing it due to its deserved “R” rating.

What I liked: It was a very funny story on teenage friendship and the trials and tribulations of high school seniors. It was extremely ludicrous but you couldn’t help but laugh.  It took me way back to when I was in high school.  Sometimes, I could relate. The story was good and was portrayed well by all actors.

What I disliked: When it began, it caught me off guard. I was shocked and wide eyed for minutes.  The comedy is very raunchy.  I never heard such things out of the mouths of fellow babes at that age.  I was concerned for the four 8 - 10 year old girls that sat behind me.  I was not pleased with the fowl language from such wholesome looking boys. LOL And the graphic references, well, let me not go there.

Would I recommend?: I actually recommended it to my 17 year old because I know he’d laugh his head off.  However, I think it is too much for anyone under 17.  You have to be very mature minded for this movie.  But for those who are, it is funny if you like vulgar humor and don’t mind a lot profanity and graphic sexual references.  Just don’t take your grandmother or she may just smack YOU. LOL

What I liked: “Superbad” is Supergreat! This is by far the best comedy of the summer! I’ll have to see it again because some of the best parts were drowned out by hysterical laughter and the sounds of people hyperventilating. Anyone in high school or who can remember the lameness of high school and has retained their sense of humor should be able to appreciate the classic themes of this movie – drinking, partying, sex (trying to have sex anyway), and the bonds of true, not-yet-tarnished-by-real-life friendship. The humor is so genuine and the acting so unforced, I felt immediately whisked back ten years ago as soon as the movie started. “Superbad” will give high schoolers something to relate to, and high school survivors a hilarious but useful tool in unlocking repressed memories of awkwardness, rejection, and possibly being a huge dork (Weren’t we all, in a way?). If you’ve been out of high school so long that you are shocked and horrified by the events and language in the movie, “

Superbad” can serve as a fun, light hearted wake up call on what’s really going on these days. The preview for this movie so unbelievably does not do it justice, and luckily the reason for that is there’s very little material in this movie that is “appropriate” for general audiences. As someone who appreciates honesty in film and filmmakers who aren’t afraid to push boundaries, I am very excited about this movie! The cast is perfect, in particular Jonah Hill and the totally amazing newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

What I disliked: The sexual humor is pretty one sided. I would have liked to see a little more of what the girls’ take on all the perversion is. Although, the main characters are male so that’s to be expected.

Would I recommend?: If you like crude, immature humor, then yes definitely go see it! If you’re old fashioned or easily offended, then definitely skip this one or your ears will bleed.
