I'm going to be seeing this movie in a few hours. I think it looks totally amazing.

I'll be sure to post my report after the movie.

Oh and, there's this.

I'm probably going to go see it this weekend. You need to realize how unlike me it is to see anything but an action movie in theaters. I HATE missing the big screen action flicks, (Like I wish I would've seen Casino Royale!!!!) but it's almost never worth paying 10 dollars to see a movie in the theater when I can just rent it on my blockbuster queue.

This movie looks like it is a must-see-in-theaters so you can tell people about it later. Seems like it'll be a caddyshack kind of a classic comedy movie. It does have a lot of modern stupid humor, but I think it has a certain vintage quality to it that will really be telltale of the times more than something like "40 year old version."

Movies are better in theatres usually... except for maybe dramas. But comedies are funnier, and horrors are horrier, and movies are just all around better.

This movie is pretty much ****ing hilarious.

Not to post a totally SAJN review or anything, but you really should go see it now. Or two days from now or whenever it actually opens. It's really goddamned funny, and I can't possibly explain why it's so funny in a verbal way.

That WAS awfully SAJN of you. Was there anything negative?

I would just like to point out that that is an awefully fine burn.

I'm sure we're all dying to read how much you hated the movie.

All you have is the whitty common teenager response of "well....YOUR MOM...ooooo"

Its sad how often I hear that as a retort.

Well that was bitter. Why is it that everyone thinks I hate everything? I have rather high standards, but there's lots of stuff I like a whole lot. Any time I post about it though, I get ridiculed for liking it.

Oh, and I didn't think it was that good of a burn, but ok!

Just saw it. I can honestly say I haven't laughed this hard since the first time I saw Holy Grail. It's not just funny either, it's a good movie. Tons of great one-liners from McLovin.

I thought it was awesome. Out of the 40YO, Knocked Up, and Superbad trio, I have to say I enjoyed Superbad the most. I think I enjoyed it the most because I could really identify pretty much with every single piece of dialogue in that movie. I don't think a movie has accurately recreated a conversation between two high school kids this well in a LONG time.

That is definitely true. These guys know how high school actually works.

I, for one, came away thinking there was too much vulgarity. I knew it was going to be dirty and everything, but the ratio of funny to just-plain-foul was lower than what I'd hoped for. I'm sure that's going to be just me though.

The cops were awesome.

Netflix is superior.

I get more movies with blockbuster, so I don't know why you'd think that.

Because Blockbuster is evil. If not evil, then just really screwed up.

I went to see it yesterday, but it was sold out :(

i don't think there was a single unfunny moment in the entire film

Saw it, ****ING LOVED IT.

Then again, seeing a movie with a girl always jades my perception, so I'll have to check it sometime on my own.

It's pretty easy. Dogs aren't allowed in most theatres.

I was really expecting it to be awesome, and I guess I was a bit disappointed. As someone said, it dragged a bit in the middle. It WAS very funny, but I guess I just built it up too much in my head. I definitely think I laughed harder at 40YOV and Knocked Up (and Grandma's Boy).

I do agree that they represented high school kids very well.
