Completely a trilogy of sorts-40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up being the other two-men with arrested development Superbad is above all funny. Re-watching the film other day it struck me just how funny this film was. I know the film quite well and I still was laughing out loud. Almost all of this is because of Hill, Cera and Mintz-Plasse get every laugh possible from this material. Cera, especially, just knows how to time and stutter to sublime comedic effect.

The script and storyline is refreshingly bitter. There is not any saccharine present here to hide that these guys still have a lot of growing up to do. I do not want to say the film is realistic but it understands teens.

This film has gotten better as I have gotten older.
