Superbad / USA / 2007
It’s amazing that this is Greg Mottola’s first feature since the critically popular The Daytrippers over a decade ago- he’s been languishing in TV hell ever since, but has now been mercifully rescued by the non-stop Apatow comedy juggernaut. But to be honest this really isn’t a director’s film: it belongs to authors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and it’s they who deservedly have been reaping the bulk of the sizeable praise the film has garnered.
I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while, and was perhaps slightly disappointed that it’s more puerile and less heartwarming than I was expecting. The accusations of misogyny which were (in my opinion unfairly) aimed at Knocked Up probably do apply here: the film takes care to disparage it’s schlubby protagonists mercilessly, but they still get the (far more attractive) girls. But goddamn it, it’s funny, and kind of sweet, and effortlessly memorable. In 20 years time they’ll be teaching Apatow university courses, just like they do with John Hughes‚Ķ
