With limited access to movie theatres over the past year, one must rely on the one thing nothing can seem to beat: streaming services. Netflix, Hulu, and HBOMax have all gained immense popularity this year; so, maybe it\u2019s a sign to go back and rewatch an old classic. My movie of choice: Superbad<\/em>. Directed by Greg Mottola and written by comedic geniuses Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, Superbad <\/em>is a raunchy comedy that keeps you laughing for 1 hour and 59 minutes. The movie follows two inseparable best friends, Seth and Evan, who are hoping to get in one last \u201churrah\u201d before the conclusion of their senior year. The two friends, however, are only to be considered \u201csuper\u201d unpopular. With two weeks to go in high school, the odd pairing, along with their sidekick Fogell, are finally invited to a high school party by the prettiest and most popular girl in school \u2013 but there is a catch. They must find a way to supply alcohol for the party. The three boys hope to impress the girls and eventually become their \u201cheadaches\u201d of boyfriends. Fogell attains a fake ID under the name \u201cMcLovin,\u201d but his attempt to buy alcohol quickly goes south. He becomes buddies with two lackluster cops and engages in some not-so-legal activities with them. Meanwhile, Seth and Evan are still trying to find ways to procure alcohol before the party begins. Superbad <\/em>captures the awkwardness of the high school experience and dives deep into Seth and Evan\u2019s comedic friendship. It is not just a movie that lands some random jokes, but the whole concept behind this masterpiece is where all the comedy lies. With stars like Jonah Hill (Seth), Michael Cera (Evan), Bill Hader (Officer Slater), Seth Rogan (Officer Michael), and Christopher Mintz (Fogell), a Rotten Tomatoes score of 88%, and a spot on Empire\u2019s <\/em>500 best movies of all time, Superbad <\/em>is not a movie you will want to miss. The crude and inappropriate jokes make this movie what it is, and I must say that Superbad <\/em>was nothing less than comedic perfection.
