Superbad
Superbad is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Greg Mottola and produced by Judd Apatow about a group of adolescent friends. Seth and Evan, two high school seniors, are played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. The boys want to party and lose their virginity before graduation, but their plan turns out to be more difficult than they expected. The script was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg when they were 13 years old, and it was partially based on their experiences in Grade 12 at Point Grey Secondary School in Vancouver in the 1990s; the main characters had the same given names as the two authors.
The film garnered great reviews upon its first release, with critics appreciating the dialogue and chemistry between the two stars. The film was also commercially successful, generating more than $170 million on a budget of $17.5-20 million. The film has been regarded as one of the greatest comedies of the 2000s and one of the best high school movies of all time since its premiere.
