I just saw Superbad last night. I thought it was funny, and I also thought it was actually surprisingly very well written too. It had a solid storyline, it ties up well, and you really got into each character's plight. After the first 10 minutes I thought I'd want to kill that fat kid by the end of the movie, but I ended up finding him to be quite likeable, probably even the best of the three.
However I dont see why people say youll be quoting Superbad for the rest of the summer. There were some hilarious parts for sure, but nothing thats really quoteable for the most part(unless you plan on letting go a string of obscenities that would make Joe Pesci blush). I think Superbad was a very good movie, and very well done as well, but overall I laughed harder at Hot Rod. And I'm still quoting a bunch of lines from Hot Rod, whereas there's really nothing you can quote in Superbad, at least that I can remember(besides the "Do you know how many types of foods look like dicks? The
best kinds!"..that was gold, Ill use that for months haha).
I really think it just all depends on what your type of humour is. I think Superbad falls into the category of regular teen comedy(though much better done than most lately. Id say that was the best job of character development in a teen comedy since American Pie); lots of swearin and chasin after girls, that sorta stuff. Its an easy movie to watch and the vast majority of people will like it. Whereas Hot Rod falls more along the lines of Napolean Dynamite(though alot faster paced. It doesnt drag at parts like ND did), an odd comedy with a different sense of humour, its not for everyone. Definitely not your typical comedy. I loved it though(I mean tell me the ultimate punch isnt money haha).
Overall I think theyre both solid movies and good for a chuckle. Superbad's the better made movie, but for straight up laughs I prefered Hot Rod.
