[Cera] has some of the best comic timing of anyone working in film today, a precocious sense of the awkward pauses and misread cues in which social panic resides.

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.

Reviews for Superbad
Top Critic The comic-duo of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera reminded me of an immature, foul-mouthed Laurel & Hardy.

even if Superbad's not much more than a teen comedy, it's the best teen comedy to come out in at least a decade. There's no shame in that.

Thanks to Rogen and Apatow we can once again look forward to seeing R-rated comedies.
07/22/08
Raunchy enough, but it lacks some of the subtle wit and verbal sophistication that has always distinguished Apatow's finest comedies.
04/10/08
Audiences who've laughed their asses off at Rogen's other work will be pleased to know that Superbad is not just another teen movie.
03/06/08
The thing that saves Superbad from being a profane waste of time is its urbane intelligence and above all, bracing honesty.
02/28/08
Although the cop characters run out of steam a bit towards the end, the metrosexual relationship between the leads stays fresh all the way through. Brilliant.

... a humanizing comedy built around the coming-of-age absurdity of actually getting whatever it is you think you want.
01/16/08
Maybe I would have been better off seeing Superbad before it became an instant cult classic.
01/12/08
This is the funniest picture since Borat, and more emotionally nuanced than you would expect.
01/04/08
Top Critic be sure to stick it out through the closing credits. You'll thank me later.

So bad that it's good, Superbad takes talking dirty on screen to a new level that will serve as shock treatment for some, and leave the rest in stitches.
11/22/07
Solidifies Apatow's reputation as the guiding force behind a small but significant community of comic filmmakers. He is becoming to crude comedies what Steven Spielberg was to family-oriented fantasies in the 1980s.
10/30/07
Superbad makes cultural statements that should be every bit as disturbing as blaxploitation's were.
10/30/07
By turns funny and charming, heartfelt and horny, Superbad is a teen comedy that understands the awesome power of awkward.
