Supergood!

On Wednesday night, I attended a free advance screening of the movie Superbad, a new film from the guys who brought you 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up." In other words, this is no modern-day retelling of star-crossed lovers in fair Verona. Instead, it's about three lovable geeks who just want one chance to go to a graduation party where they can finally get their respective crushes wasted enough to bone them. Will they? Won't they? It's like the Ross and Rachel plotline, only with nothing in common.

Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth from "Arrested Development) and Jonah Hill (the afro-ed white kid in 40-Year-Old Virgin that really wanted to buy the glittery boots from Catherine Keener's eBay shop) play the main characters, Evan and Seth, but they are also joined by everybody's tubby sperminator Seth Rogen (who co-wrote the film), and that creepy-looking SNL actor Bill Hader. To tell you more of the plot would be a dis-service on my part, so I won't give anything except these two words: human tampon. If you've seen and enjoyed the aforementioned films, this one should be right up your alley. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. I laughed so hard during the screening that I almost peed in my pants. But that was probably because I drank a lot of water in the theater. It was really warm inside.

Superbad arrives in theaters on August 17.
