Superbad (2007)
Director: Greg Mottola
Actors: Jonah Hill, Michael Cera
This film delivered far more than just the usual teen-movie hijinx, it helped illuminate the complex relationship between teen boys as they transition out of high school. From the first word out of Seth's mouth, played by Jonah Hill, you think you know where this film is heading, "American Pie" Land. Yet by the end, you start to understood what it's really about. It's about more than just trying to be cool, getting wasted, getting laid, and all the other pitfalls of high school. It's about having a best friend, sticking together, standing up for each other, and eventually letting each other become their own person. The strange characters, crazy antics, and ridiculous jokes keep you laughing all the way through, and the bond of friendship lifts you up at the end. As long as you can handle some crude humor, the underlying themes make it a worth while film. I definitely recommend it!
