Superbad
You either love this or you don't. I'm pretty stupid so I loved it. The movie has the right elements of honesty about high school and the right degree of disguting humor. That makes the movie both funny and familar. Too many times PG-13 oriented stories have tried to capture how disgusting boys can be. They are never close. Superbad does a pretty good job, but is a dumb comedy. It makes me laugh at that side of me instead of reflect upon it. In a perfect world I too would have ended up with the girls the characters get at the end. Fuck that. Critics are already calling this a comedic classic. It shouldn't be reviewed in print, but good. Animal House and Caddyshack and the like are children's stories. They don't reflect how funny and disgusting people can be. Permissiveness, very much exploited in Superbad, also represents reality, haha.
