I saw the movie Superbad last night with my friend Bicky. I should have known better than to brave this little show, especially when the rest of the audience looked like they were 12 and were carrying skateboards.
The first 5 minutes were kinda funny because I wasn't expecting such low brow, puberty age humour. But 87 boner jokes and 10 minutes into the movie my initial surprise turned to sheer boredom. If there ever was a movie that should come with a mute button. Superbad's painfully unfunniness completely dwarfs it's occassional funniness.
In fairness I did get a good laugh a few times, mostly at the subtle humour of Cern's character and the cops were for the most part amusing. But boy did Superbad ever make me pay dearly for those laughs. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it. I'm just glad that Bicky had free tickets.
I read the critic reviews and the critics all love it, assuring me that they must be on a payroll somewhere. And so I am bestowing upon Superbad the very first zero out of 5 stars I've ever handed out. That in itself is impressive.
