“Superbad” Trailer

“Superbad” is the tale of three goofy teen guys who scheme to buy booze and get girls, making dirty jokes all the while. For Judd Apatow, the writer-director behind “Knocked Up” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” it was love at first read. But for years, he couldn’t get the movie made. He got the script (by “Knocked Up” star Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg) in 2000, before he had any real success. Then came a string of hits. Apatow produced the 2004 Will Ferrell comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” “Virgin” was a 2005 sleeper success (featuring Rogen as a lovable instigator), followed by the Apatow-produced 2006 film, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” Those successes opened the door for “Superbad”.
Between “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”, “Knocked Up”, and now “Superbad”, these guys have proven they are a comedy force in Hollywood. I am a believer the hardest thing to do in entertainment is to make people laugh and keep them laughing. Apatow, Rogen, and Goldberg movies are a throw back to some young wacky comedies I grew up with. Like “Porky’s”, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”,“Sixteen Candles”, and maybe a little “Animal House”. They are a good Hollywood story, they collaborated together for years, producer/director, actor, writer. Now it’s paying off for them, with this amazing string of funny films. They offer a certain brand of comedy that while it is a throwback, it is refreshing. I love the Richard Pryor t-shirt, I had the same one in the 80’s.
Who ever even heard of these guys before last year. Now they are up there, with the funniest guys in town.
