Nerds on a Quest, Part II


Movies on back to back days!! It must be Summer. Today I went to see another film: Superbad. This movie had a lot in common with the Potter picture: young people grappling with serious issues and learning tough life lessons. Three not so cool high school seniors try to get alcohol so they can get girls drunk and have sex with them. Its fairly good natured actually from the people who brought you the mildly amusing 40 Year Old Virgin and the so-so early Summer hit Knocked Up . I never need to see it again but I wasn't robbed either. Like many an after school special, it also provides kids with a few truths about life. The first one is that nerds can get laid even without alcohol and secondly, that sex with drunk people is gross. So if you've already taken the kids to Ratatouille , I strongly recommend Superbad.
