Looks awesome. :hyper: Have been looking forward to this once since the preview on Knocked Up. When I see it, though, it'll be sure to be a matinée, if not dvd---it's not one that I'll need to see in a theater.
 
I keep hearing the whole "this generation's movie" without hearing what the other generation's movies are. I wonder what the comparison is.
 
I've heard it's even funnier than Knocked Up, which would be no small feat. Can't wait to find out.

I'm guessing things like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ferris Beueller's Day Off and the Breakfast Club for 80's kids, and maybe Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You and American Pie for 90's kids.

(Wow this post also just proved that the 80's ruled over the 90's)

I know that dude
 
I'm about to leave to see this.

When someone told me that George Michael was in this, I thought maybe it was the other George Michael. You know, the singer-songwriter.

Absolutely hilarious.

I could not breathe during the end credits, oh my God.

And McLovin could be the greatest teen movie character since Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles. That is a bold statement, I know, but it is apropos.
 
You know what? I was disappointed. I did laugh a fair number of times, but overall I didn't like it nearly as much as ... well, pretty much everything else Apatow has laid his hands on.

I did love the penis drawing story and the cops dragging McLovin out of the party.

But honestly, I thought the whole thing with the cops was really stupid. And maybe I can tolerate foul-mouthed, vulgar adults better than I can tolerate foul-mouthed, vulgar teens.

Oh well. It was only $5. :wink:
 
$5? That's half what I paid! :angry:

Worth every penny for me though. The penis drawings had me in stitches.
 
I really liked it. I was surprised by its accurate depiction of high school kids. Plus, it was refreshing that the cast wasn't made up of 20-somethings playing high schoolers (save for Jonah Hill, anyway).

I wish could've stayed for the whole set of penis drawings shown during the end credits :sad:

YES.
 
I don't know...the only good laugh I got out of the trailers (both R and general) was those crooked policemen saying "oh, sh*t...the cops!" :lol: The general trailer did nothing for me. If Superbad plays on Fox or something, I'm all over it, but I'm not paying $8 to see it.
