Superbad

Like all buddy movies of this ilk, (see Wedding Crashers, Blades of Glory, Dumb and Dumber) this is really a love story about the two guys. So it’s much more of a “relationship” movie than a “hero’s journey” movie, which at times can be frustrating, since it seems like the main characters keep forgetting what they set out to do at the beginning of the movie. But there are plenty of laughs, lots of dick jokes, and great, rich, and comedically sophisticated performances from the two leads, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. So it’s funny, but not “goal oriented.”
