Superbad

Superbad follows two inseparable high school seniors, Seth and Evan, who learn they will attend different colleges in the fall. Before they go their separate ways, they plan to attend a party hosted by a classmate, hoping to make the night count with the girls they have been eyeing. Their scheme involves buying alcohol using a fake ID belonging to their awkward friend Fogell, but the errand grows into a long and chaotic night that keeps pulling the three of them apart. Two police officers, Slater and Michaels, become unlikely companions in the mayhem.

Greg Mottola directed the film, the second in his filmography after The Daytrippers, with a screenplay by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Jonah Hill plays Seth, Michael Cera plays Evan, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays Fogell. Bill Hader and Seth Rogen appear as the officers, with Martha MacIsaac among the credited cast of 54.

Released in August 2007, the comedy was made for about 20 million dollars and took in roughly 170 million worldwide, a strong return on its budget. On IMDb it holds a 7.6 from some 689,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 7.3 from a much smaller base of about 8,400. Critics scored it 7.7 from 206 reviews, closely matching the audience ratings.
