Before I watched this movie I checked its IMDb rating and was convinced by 30,000 IMDb users that the movie was 8.4/10. This put it ahead of Scarface, The Princess Bride, and The Big Lebowski on the top 250 movies list. In my opinion Superbad is no where near as good as any of these 3 movies.

SUPERBAD is not SUPERGOOD. It's not even good. At best it's 6/10.

Superbad is not groundbreaking in its material. Superbad does not flow well at all and is veeeeerrrryyy drawn out in lots of places. I think American Pie was much funnier, with more action, and with better character interactions.

But perhaps it was just my high expectations. However, when a movie rates higher than a movie like The Big Lebowski, my expectations go through the roof.

I will concede that Jonah Hill was brilliant in patches, but he had some scenes that were so stupid they more than offset the good ones.

Conclusion: Average comedy that shouldn't rate on the top 250 list amongst the classics.
