Finally truth in advertising! This is another movie in a genre I call “Judds sugar porn”. Its a film thats dirty,raunchy and sexually explicit while having a sweet message in it. Anything with Judd Apatows name on it like 40 year old virgin or Knocked Up follows this pattern. Virgin was genius while Knocked Up was ok and so is Superbad.Its about 2 nerds who want to have sex before they leave high school. Theres the usual stereotypes involved: loud, obnoxious fat kid,thin sensitive kid, their supernerd friend, the superhot girls they lust after etc etc. The nerds are trying to get booze for a popular girls party,but are underage so they spend most of the movie scheming to get some. The usual arguments, misunderstandings and the like happen like in all teen sex comedys but this has alot of serious parts that slow it down. Jonah Hill plays the fat, angry kid whos so over the top hostile that its hard to believe anyone would be his friend. The best character is played by Michael Cera. He’s like George Michael from Arrested Development but with an “R” ratig. Theres some funny stuff here but the long slow parts really hurt the film. Of course we have the obligatory happy ending with the hot girls getting with the dorks. In school I was a dork. I’m so cool now that Johnny Depp calls me for cool advice, but there was a time I had a bad case of the nerds. Guess how many popular, hot girls I hooked up with? NONE! I would pick-up and chew their used gum just to taste their lipstick! Hot high school girls hate nerds. Its the law of the high school jungle. Are you unsure if your a nerd? Do you watch Star Wars and say all the lines with the characters? Have Star Wars music in your wedding? Play Halo? NERD ALERT NERD ALERT. This is Master Chief Boba Fett signing off. Over and out.

wow…it’s like I wrote everything past “In high school I was a dork.” Intriguing similarity.
