What to Know

Critics Consensus

Deftly balancing vulgarity and sincerity while placing its protagonists in excessive situations, Superbad is an authentic take on friendship and the overarching awkwardness of the high school experience.

Amir A One of the Funniest Movies Ever Made. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader & Emma Stone Are Amazing In This Movie! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Cole N My first R rated movie. Classic coming of age film with hilarious comedy, redeeming characters, and heartfelt moments. Every 6th grader should watch this after the last day of school before their parents get home (even if the extra caution is unnecessary given that its unlikely you would actually be punished in any way - in fact, your parents may have actually thought it was funny if they were to see you watching it). Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Donnie K If you're of a certain age this is a bona fide comedy classic, but as long as you've been through high school this is a well above grade flick that couldn't be made today. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Alec C Prepare for things to not just go bad, but super bad! Two high-school friends attempt to buy alcohol for an upcoming school party at the end of their school year, only for them to get entangled with some dimwitted cops and their simmering resentments. A funny and thoughtful film that explores the complexities of friendship, maturity and growing apart! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Superbad Maybe Filthy R-Rated But It’s Also Funny And Cool Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Matthew P This film is one of the best comedy films and is the best teen comedy film of all time every scene is funny and mclovin is classic and hill and cera are great.Its perfect Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Devin Gordon Newsweek ... "Superbad" isn't perfect. But it's super close. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Scott Foundas Village Voice Superbad is a movie about partying and getting wasted and getting the girl, but as the night wears on, much wisdom is gained too, about self, friendship and the end of teenage innocence in all its wondrous, terrifying splendor. Aug 3, 2013 Full Review Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ryan Gilbey Sight & Sound Honest goodwill, fond observational detail and Greg Mottola's exuberant direction make the picture nigh on irresistible, but there are some missteps. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine The best of all of that era’s comedies, and one of the funniest teen movies ever" (25th anniversary) Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The oftentimes outrageous dialogue and vulgar exchanges between stars Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are both wildly hilarious and genuinely portrayed. Rated: 8/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Superbad | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com An intelligent and occasionally insightful look at the sometimes scary place we call the adolescent male mind.
