A brief note in praise of Superbad

Despite feeling a bit past teen sex comedies, I couldn't stop laughing at Superbad. I think the central characters are very much out of the teen movie I didn't want to see: they're incredibly funny for a while, but no matter how much wit a movie can bring to exploring the lives of a bunch of teenagers, it will tend to exhaust the limits of their existence too quickly for a feature film. But Superbad has McLovin.  Every scene with McLovin and the two cops played by Bill Hader and Seth Rogen is just fucking hilarious. It's the second storyline really makes Superbad work, so in the end, it's all pretty funny. Anyone looking for more obscene gestures to make at me from their car on Michigan Ave should definitely check this movie out.
