Superbad -- The Movie Thread

Didn't see a thread on this, stars Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader and Seth Rogen (Also wrote and produced) amongst others. Judd Apatow is listed as a producer as well.

NSFW - Red band trailer:

For Comparison Purposes, Green Band trailer:

I'll check it out. I've liked all of Apatow's efforts.

Seems like the prequel to Knocked Up.

I think I'm looking forward to this more than Knocked Up.

Knocked Up is still my favorite, but Superbad is definitely the second most funny film I've seen this year. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have a great dynamic together. "Hot Rod" is the third sort of "underground comedy" that's set for summer release, and I'd put that after Superbad.

I can't wait for this. Will see Knocked Up and Superbad in theater for sure, something I rarely do nowadays.

I can't see Superbad being funnier than Knocked Up but it does look funny.

Same here. I'll probably love Knocked Up, but that red band trailer for Superbad makes me think I'll be quoting this movie and watching it repeatedly on the same level as The Big Lebowski and both Clerks movies. "The Iron Chef of pounding vag!"

Knocked Up is, if you can believe it, even more quotable.

I think it's great that Seth Rogen is starting to break out, both as an actor and a writer. I always thought he was great on Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared.

It really is nice to see that the quality R-rated comedy seems to be making a comeback.

Rogen's next effort, Pineapple Express, sounds pretty good, too.

More quotable than what? A movie that's not out yet that hasn't been screened? Or than Clerks/The Big Lebowski?

I have heard of Superbad screenings. So there are people who have seen it already.

Man, I saw the regular trailer in the theater and I thought "that looks prettty funny, I might go see it", but after watching that red band trailer I'm thinking "I'm fuckin definitely seeing it!" That was hilarious! I can't wait now

Ever since I saw the redband trailer a few weeks back, this movie is my most anticipated comedy of the year (after Knocked UP, but that's practically here)... most of my friends haven't checked out the trailer yet, so I still get weird looks when I keep quoting the whole McLovin bit... Come August they'll know what's up... so fucking awesome.

I must be in the minority. I liked the green band trailer quite a bit more. In fact, I was a bit disappointed with all of the language in the red band trailer. I'm probably wrong, but it just seemed as if it was a "smarter" comedy from the trailer without the language.

The very first time I saw Michael Cera on Arrested Development, right at the pilot, I knew that the guy would be a force in comedy very soon. He went on to become one of the best parts of AD, and now this flick looks fantastic. I can't wait to watch this one.

How much you want to bet that if "Knocked Up" performs well the promos for this movie will tout: "From the creators of "Knocked Up." Provided there is time enough between movies to make such promos.
