One Paragraph Review: Superbad

I've always felt that competent comedy was a matter of timing. Get that down and you're good to go. But what makes great comedy? I'm not sure I know, but if I had to guess I'd say that great comedy comes when the subject matter is both funny and true. Superbad fits this bill. It takes juvenile behavior to a high art form. It left me with the feeling that high school wasn't the horrible mess of growth and confusion, but actually was kind of fun. The movies was incredibly clever, and it was oh so Superbad.
