Superbad

Superbad is a 2007 American coming-of-age comedy film directed by Greg Mottola and produced by Judd Apatow. The film stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as Seth and Evan, two teenagers about to graduate high school. Before graduating, the boys want to party and lose their virginity, but their plan proves harder than expected.

Plot
Two inseparable best friends navigate the last weeks of high school and are invited to a large house party. Together with their nerdy friend, they spend a long day trying to score enough alcohol for supplying the party and inebriate two girls to kick-start their sex lives before they go off to college. Their quest is complicated after one of them falls in with two inept cops who are determined to show him a good time.

Why It Is Super Good Instead

 * 1) The film is one of the greatest high-school comedies ever to be made. It's also one of the best teen sex comedy movies since American Pie.
 * 2) It's also a great take on the awkwardness of the high school experience, especially on the last day of school.
 * 3) Michael Cera and Jonah Hill have wonderful chemistry between each other, and both have great performances.
 * 4) The dialogue is also a highlight. It's filled with cursing, discussions about sex, vulgarity, etc., and it's all hilarious.
 * 5) It helped inspire the equally great 2019 film Booksmart.
 * 6) McLovin (Fogell), Mintz-Plasse's character, is the best part of the movie.
 * 7) * His interactions with the two cops are comedy gold too.
 * 8) Even though the film is extremely raunchy and vulgar, it still has heart and sincerity. It manages to be both a raunchy comedy and a great coming-of-age story at the same time.
 * 9) It never stops entertaining the viewer, as the two leads are put in extreme situations throughout their journey to the house party.
 * 10) "Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!"
