Superbad
pilsner:
McLovin's our friend! We shouldn't block his cock. We should guide his cock.

I think I'm the only person who didn't like this movie.....but let me explain that. I'm no troll.
I fell in love with Michael Cera. McLovin and the cops were hilarious. I laugh at pretty much any dick joke.
HOWEVER: I really really just wanted to knock out Jonah Hill. He was supposed to be a jerk, obviously, but if a movie is supposed to be (at least partially) about friendship.....Seth's a really really shitty friend. Pretty much everything he did made me hate him more and I was pretty furious walking out of the movie. You just DON'T ditch your friends (when he ditched Fogel)...you don't prioritize getting some ass at the total expense of your friends (when he makes Evan do...what he has to do for half the movie, go to shady parties, the like)....you don't try to pretty much rape women after you get them drunk (poor Jules).....seriously. Also, Jonah's voice is whiny and the character complained for the whole fucking movie. Irritating, but I could've dealt if it wasn't for him being utterly horrible otherwise...and I could've dealt better if he wasn't one of the main characters, mucking up every second scene.
That is why I didn't like Superbad.

I saw it last weekend and loved it from opening Orson Wells joke to the penis montage. I've found that now if I ever want to laugh I just have to recall the image of the penis riding the bomb a la Dr. Strangelove.
I think Jonah Hill's character was meant to be a whiny asshole as a setup for his epiphany at the party where he 'saved' Evan. I also thought it was nice that they took each of the boys wanted and flipped it so that Jules didn't get drunk with Seth and Evan was left with a very drunk and horny Becca. The subtlety of some of the jokes made me want to see it again to try to catch anything I had missed. And that's really something I can't say about most recent comedies.

People act like this in high school. I knew dozens, maybe hundreds, of people that acted like this in high school. The fact that the movie could have interactions that I remember from high school and still have 2 cops and a 16 year old shooting at a flaming car, as well as the aforementioned penis montage is one of the elements that made it awesome for me. I need to buy this movie.
Ozymandias:
Yeah, there were at least half a dozen exchanges from this movie that I could see my friends having. That's part of why it was awesome.
