I feel like I need to preface this one. High School movies about people going to a party do absolutely nothing for me. At all. It's not something I've ever cared about personally and movies about it never click either.

With that, I watched Superbad for the first time with the expectations of a solid film that is beloved but that I probably wouldn't care much for and that's essentially what I got. I didn't find it particularly funny. I didn't connect with any of the characters and overall just found myself terribly bored watching this. However, I can acknowledge that this is a pop culture icon of a movie and for something to reach that level it must be doing something right. It just didn't work for me. Maybe I was in the wrong mood to watch it or maybe I went into it with too many preconceived notions or maybe it's just not going to work for me.

In the end, I didn't like this movie. I think it's overhyped nonsense that relies on crass humor and not any sort of originality. A group of dorks want to go to a party so they can try to be cool and get laid? Yeah, never seen that before. There's no new ground tread here it's just another take on a played out trope. But again, I'm the extreme minority here and I'm going to bump up my grade a bit just for the cultural relevance it's had and I even think it's something people should seek out and watch for that exact same reason because odds are you will like it more than I did.
