Superbad - 8.0

This raunchy high school sex comedy is pretty damn funny, kind of a combination of American Pie style sexual humor with some of the intelligence and heart of other Judd Apatow films The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. The two leads are both funny and complement each other perfectly - Jonah Hill's (the fat kid) over the top, profanity-laced, hilarious rants are balanced by Michael Cera's (George Michael from Arrested Development) low key approach. And while the leads do an outstanding job, they are sometimes even overshadowed by the supporting characters - McLovin is involved in some of the funniest moments of the film and the two cops (Seth Rogen and Bill Hader), while completely outrageous, are great. All in all, I laughed a lot, which is really the only fair, and obviously completely objective, way to judge a comedy. With this and Knocked Up right now occupying two of my top three spots for 2007, this could be the first year since I can remember (i.e. the last 4 years when I really started keeping track) that two comedies make my oh so prestigious yearly top 10 list. Thank you Mr. Apatow.
