[@brentbare3698]

I would say this is the American Pie of the 2000s...

[@EvanLyman]

Very similar movies although Superbad takes place in the era it came out, where as Dazed came out in the 90s but takes place in the 70s. Even similar in the sense that both Dazed and Superbad are named after legendary songs that are NOT on the movie soundtracks.

[@duttery9068]

Recat to anchor man

[@EvanLyman]

@El Vato It actually is quite a bit like Dazed although it focuses on one core friend group rather than a few. It has the "last chance to party at the end of the school year" focus that the kids have, trying to scrum together something cool outside of the view of cops and parents, as well as most of the main events taking place over a period of about 24 hours. So ya I do get the Dazed comparison for sure. It also, liked Dazed, has a striking realness to the way high school kids behave and think. In a lot of movies about teens the dialogue feels like it was written by adults and the actors don't look like teenagers. Even American Pie... all those moments and lines of dialogue feel very contrived and the actors playing high schoolers look 25 or older. In both Dazed and Superbad, the dialogue and actors feel more legit to the time period and age they're supposed to be in imo.

[@Quote23rd]

The Micael Cera scene with him singing and everyone doing coke around him is so good. So much chaotic energy.

[@ChrisP.Bacon008]

One of the few scenes that depicts that “coke energy” really good

Ian Kane Definitely! I’ve been in ‘that room’ way too many times (way too many times) & it feels pretty true to life🤣

[@ChrisP.Bacon008]

[@VenomKpp]

He gets looked over but the last guy in the room who closes the door and IMMEDIATELY is confused seeing Cera is great.

[@marennicholson5444]

The “there’s so much blood” scene is just my favorite. Bill Hader’s ambivalent facial expression kills me every time.

[@fruity2ty]

Can’t believe both you and Brandonlikesmovies haven’t seen this before. I watched this way too many times when this came out.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Hahahaha yeah we tend to have missed the wave on films often

[@fruity2ty]

@@JamesVSCinema not sure if you saw this but I believe Seth Rogen started writing this with his writing partner/best friend when they were in high school and a lot of this film is loosely based on their experiences in high school.

[@Skovbo79]

That Brandon guy apparently never saw any popular movies before he started his KZbin reaction channel, despite him having a thousand DVDs in the shelfs behind him and despite the fact, he always seem to guess every twist in every movie, when he sees them "first time".

[@LennyBennny]

@@Skovbo79 brooo i always thought that,all those fucking dvds starting to look like props lmaoo

[@fruity2ty]

@@Skovbo79 having seen a lot of his videos I disagree with your comment heavily. He is super genuine and has a great knowledge of filmmaking. He collects Blu Rays and has been super upfront about what he does and doesn’t know about every movie he goes into. No reason to think he’s lying about his reactions.

[@Mubiki]

This will always be one of my favorites, and it's mostly because they NAILED the high school boy dialogue. I remember being like this for a brief period of time. hahaha Good times.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Super authentic

[@leob4403]

You mean you were a comedic genius for a brief period of time?

[@GillDawe]

"People don't forget!" I remember seeing that scene with Dave Franco for the first time and just practically pissing my pants. I don't know how many times I've said that line in my life. This movie is practically comedic perfection.

[@ganjamcninja]

You said, "Oh no! I'm cringing! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Like you were turning into the Hulk!

[@stevenschmidt3464]

In the theatre there was just massive laughter after massive laughter to where you missed lines. That is when you know it is a hit.

[@JoshJr98]

One of the best comedies of 2000s

[@jeremyfalkner9223]

The Dazed and Confused comparison is high praise, and rightly deserved. Superbad is a modern classic.

[@leob4403]

Superbad is just like Dazed and Confused except it's not painfully boring and pointless

[@rareosts5752]

I watched this in the theater on a date with a girl as a senior in high school and we both loved it and felt like it perfectly captured a version of what we were living at that moment.

[@richieclean]

"could you imagine the Coen Brothers making a porn?" You mean like Logjammin? Where the guy fixes the cable?

This came out the summer I graduated high school, it was the perfect movie at the perfect time

[@chefskiss6179]

I remember the first time watching this gem and then that escalator scene takes place, and the camera pov is moving further back away from the two protagonists... and I'm thinking "wait a minute, are they(?) is this goin' where I think it's going?" and then Curtis Mayfield's lyrics come up "I guess I'll always feel this way..." and I was just blown away. I had to watch it all over again. Beautiful reaction vid as usual, btw :)

[@boombastickx7529]

Can you elaborate, idk if I get it lol

[@alexlazzerly3677]

The movie is hilarious obviously, but the ending is actually really powerful and deeper than you'd expect.

The fact that almost every single character in this movie, including McLovin, is based on a real person makes this movie better. Even more so to think they are Canadian.

I gotta recommend Pineapple Express after this. Also not sure if you already went for Knocked Up, but Knocked Up came out earlier in the same summer as Superbad. Good times.

[@Gonzotabb]

I saw this move in the theater when I was 16. This and Pineapple express were pretty big comedy film touchstones for me and my generation as a teenager. Looking back on these now, I'm surprised by how well they hold up. Not everything holds up the way you think it will as time passes.
