This is a somewhat over the top portrayal of typical pubescent behavior. This is the movie's genius, because you know that much of what happens in this movie has happened somewhere in America. Male teen behavior is naturally funny and this movie takes full advantage of that fact. Everyone who has ever been a teenager has known someone who could have been a character in this awesome and funny movie. This movie rolled to success because of the incredible on screen chemistry between Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. They made the movie believable, and their interaction and playing off each other's reactions was phenomenal. It is not like most comedies. Do not look for a point or moral to the story, just sit back and have a giggle.
