The fact that you, being from the UK, can identify with a movie set in America written by Canadians tells me this movie captures something that's present in a lot of places.
You comment on this being Jonah Hill's big break, but it's much more than that: Jonah Hill and Bill Hader were in this and Knocked up, which were both 2007. So the one-two punch of the two films put them both on the map. Michael Cera and Emma Stone had both previously had TV roles, but this the first film role for both of them. This was Christopher Mintz-Plasse's first professional acting job. This was the first film written by Seth Rogan, though he'd done some TV episodes previously. Depending on how optimistic you are, either it's a bunch of unknowns making a small film that happened to take off or the casting director and producers are absolute geniuses at identifying young talent.
The whole movie is so wild and crazy most of the time. Everyone acted their ass off in this (and Fogel aka Christopher Mintz Plaze sp...this was his first acting role straight up) and the comedy while brass and couldn't really be made these days without controversy is still funny as hell. All that being said, the ending is so sweet. I mean it's not like going to make you cry or anything but it's just, you know, sweet?
@@MrRobarino Unless the studio putting a movie out now, having the F slur and other such language in it just brings controversy (which could be good for ticket sales I suppose also) and I didn't say it couldn't be made just it would have controversy if it did. There are still raunchy comedies made of course.
The animosity between Fogle and Seth is real. Jonah Hill actually hated the actor who played Fogle and was actually extremely annoyed by him on and off screen
First time that I saw Superbad my stomach hurt so bad from laughing so hard through the entire movie. The liquor store where McLovin got punched is my regular stop when I go to Grifith Park. Located @ the corner of Victory Blvd / Western Ave. Glendale, CA. near North Entrance to Griffith Park. Bonus: There's a drive-thru Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Shop a few blocks to the West.on Victory..
The other cop was Bill Hader, a hilarious SNL alumnus, brilliant impressionist, cowriter and star of the amazingly good dark comedy series, Barry, and of the brilliant documentaries send up series, Documentary Now.
One of my favorite Jonah and Michael films. The College party scene was too funny when I first watched this, I was dying. Michael singing in the room with the dudes doing coke, lmao.
What makes this movie work so well is how great and natural their chemistry is, and I'd argue that Jonah Hill's delivery helps keep the pacing strong. His comedic timing is something to take note of
"...I have your information." 😂😂😂 When the first line of that song kicked in at the end and them looking back at each other, wow, made you just look back at the whole movie in a different light. So beautiful. Another it-happened-one-night teen flick that came out around the same time might be worth a viewing, I hope you try Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist :) That was a fun watch with you, loved your enthusiasm, thanks for that.
Yeah the ending actually make you reflect on highschool. Everybody has had a moment exactly like the ending with their best friend growing up. Great film.
Growing up in Vancouver, Canada like Seth Rogen, there are a lot of references here for people like me. Pretty much all the names of the teenage characters are actual people who Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the writers, went to school with. They did an interview for the local news in 2007 featuring the real "McLovin" (who was never called that), Steve Fogel. A lot of this is fictional, but there are some references that make me wonder. Even the street names, like Granville St, where there used to be a liquor store on the corner they mentioned. I guess you can't have this much reality as far as what high school is like (except for the stuff with the cops) without adding some actual reality. This is exactly how my friends and I used to talk in the late 90s and early 2000s. Seth and Evan actually went to West Point Grey Secondary School (High School) in Vancouver. I was born and grew up near Granville Street. Vancouver is known for being a hotbed for cannabis aficionados (and its LGBTQIA+ inclusivity), and Seth Rogen has been pretty open about his use of it. The old man in the bathrobe who throws the bat at Jonah Hill as Seth is actually Seth Rogen's dad in real life. The only really unrealistic thing about this besides the cops is the fact that those kids of girls would ever consider guys like Seth and Evan. That's just nerd fantasy. I've been there. Where I came from, if you weren't black or brown and buff, you had a less than zero chance with 90% of girls back in high school. We have a large Indian and East Asian community here, and they're the guys the girls here usually want. We looked up to those guys. I wanted to be Will Smith back then. Apparently that was a bad judgment call.
Same thing from This is the End movie, Jay stay Los Angeles in Four Seasons hotel with Danny for two months ago as he's not telling Seth. At Superbad, Evan didn't tell Seth that he's going to college with their friend Fogel at next year.
Did you really mix up Michael cera and jesse eisenberg? Lol that's too funny. I had just graduated highschool when this came out, me and my friends watched this constantly, I still quote this movie to this day lol.
This movie is so classic, hilarious & legendary… it’s more so accurate of millennials in highschool id say.. which means at the time of it’s release it’s spot on.. I’m Gen Z so it’s not as accurate for me at least when I was in highschool 3 years ago.. but it’s still such a great movie.
Funny thing was, Christopher Mintz-Plasse was specifically cast because Jonah Hill hated him in real life. Apparently, Christopher did some really mean-spirited improv at Jonah's expense in their scene test, and it pissed Jonah off.
It's a very real movie all the people you see in this movie are the actual types you see in high school. usually, its Hollywood's unique take on reality, all pretty boys and girls driving in Mercedes in some very upscale neighborhood, but if you want to learn about American high schools watch this movie.
Yeah this one and Napoleon Dynamite really have the whole realistic high school experience nailed down, and they both came out around the same time. Both extremely quotable movies as well.
@@dabreal82 My point is exactly what my comment made, it doesnt represent your typical high school just a very very few.When your only exposure to american schools is from holywood(youre watching from another country) it creates a very wrong impression.
I remember when this came out but never saw it. I don't remember how well it did in the box office. I know I was never really the target audience but it was OK.
I was that bad sr who would park in the staff lot everyday.. listen if the teacher wasn’t in the classroom by the first bell, they ain’t comin.. but then several other srs did the same thing as me and next year when I had gone to college they made parking passes mandatory lol.. oops🤷♀️
@@kabirconsiders I don’t know if your big into concerts. But the South Park 25th Anniversary Concert that was held back in August at Red Rock Amphitheater in Colorado was amazing! It has a bunch of amazing Songs from the series.
I know this was awhile ago, Kabir. I hust wanted to let you know, Jonah Hill, hit it with the movie before Superbad. Accepted. It is Jonah Hill, Justin Long and Lewis Black. Well worth the reaction to this movie. Hopefully it gets on your list of films to react too. I know you don't do a lot of films on your channel. I hope you do this one. It is really funny.
I'm enjoying watching this with you !!! It's been years since I watched this and so much fun seeing your reaction. I love your vibe , always nice to come home and relax watching your videos
Gotta watch “good boys”. It’s one of the most underrated hilarious coming of age (a bit younger though) flick. I couldn’t stop laughing the entire movie.
I always wonder why in the period blood scene that Jonah Hill’s character is more embarrassed than the guy on the couch. The guy on the couch, with his bare fingers, wipes the blood off another guy’s crotch. Jonah’s character could have roasted the guy.
@@kabirconsiders Seth Rogan wrote this with his best friend and business partner Evan Goldberg when they were 13yrs old , budget was actually $17.5m , box office $171m
lol actually it is passable. As long as the “ID” has a appropriate year on it, we pretty much ain’t looking at anything else. Fogel would’ve had got away with some drinks if I was working.
Great reaction. Main characters had great chemistry. SUGGESTION: Did you react to the second 300 movie, 300: Rise of an Empire? It stars Eva Green-yummy. Please react!
I liked your take, your reaction, on Superbad as a tragedy check out CineBinge as it as a comedy This is a very Jewish movie and it can be read both ways
The fact that you, being from the UK, can identify with a movie set in America written by Canadians tells me this movie captures something that's present in a lot of places.
WTF? it's designed and written to be
relatable. Europeans are not aliens...
@@khancrow7015 Yes. They are.
They're not Martians! Lol
@@khancrow7015 they literally are. That’s another term for immigrants.
Did you think the term “illegal aliens” meant 👽? 😂
@John Dough You good bro??? You seem extra paranoid randomly bringing up immigration.....
Calling Michael Cera, Jesse Eisenberg is hilarious because no one can tell them apart
It absolutely blows my mind that this movie is already 15 years old!

The movie was made in 2007, not the 1950's. Raunchy Comedies like that are still made to this day.

I think you could still get away making these jokes today tbh, it’s close though
The animosity between Fogle and Seth is real. Jonah Hill actually hated the actor who played Fogle and was actually extremely annoyed by him on and off screen
This is one of those movies that define a generation.
The OH NO ITS THE COPS will never fail to make me piss myself

This movie was such a culture shift when it dropped.
McLovin. Lol.
My favourite character 😂
One of my favorite Jonah and Michael films. The College party scene was too funny when I first watched this, I was dying. Michael singing in the room with the dudes doing coke, lmao.
Jonah really did hit Emma Stone's head by accident her reaction was genuine.

I love LOVE that so many people have also like me gotten Cera and Eisenberg mixed up over the last 15 years lol
Superbad is a hilarious movie!
You definitely need to watch Accepted! Jonah Hill is also in the movie along with Justin Long

One of my favorite comedies
Spectacular reaction as usual from the Right Honourable Viscount Kabir of Ayofe, KC. 🇬🇧
Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all killed their parts. So funny.
Funny thing was, Christopher Mintz-Plasse was specifically cast because Jonah Hill hated him in real life. Apparently, Christopher did some really mean-spirited improv at Jonah's expense in their scene test, and it pissed Jonah off.
Jonah Hill really hated Mintz-Plasse. The anger and annoyance carried on and off screen
a day ago i told my friend i loved him and he said it back. it was terrifying , but he reciprocated
Glad you chose this one to react to. 👍

Similar to the teens you’d find in a UK secondary school also!
Yeah this one and Napoleon Dynamite really have the whole realistic high school experience nailed down, and they both came out around the same time. Both extremely quotable movies as well.
I remember the tv show Beverly hills 90210 what a joke there's probably like 5 high schools in the whole state that are like that.
@@qaqusee I mean it's accurate to the location it is set in... so I'm not sure what your point is...

One of my fav comedies 😂😂😂
I was 14 when this came out. It was the funniest movie for our time for teenagers.
Check out fast times at ridgemont high great movie!!!!
Awe the bromance ending bittersweet
31:07 her reaction there was actually legit, he hit her head hard and they left it in the movie lol

You should react to team America world police if u haven't seen it. From creators of south park
It’s on my list, maybe this week or the one after

what an appropriate name for the movie.
30:17 and 30:37 are my favorite quotes in all movies ever
You are going to love Super Troopers if you ever watch it.
Went to hundreds of parties in high school and never once saw anyone dance. Lots of fights though... Yay New Mexico, Stay classy.
😆 wow!
3:45 I would have bought his drink...he's giving me a ride.
you do great editing
wish you had a movie reaction only channel
THERES SO MUCH BLOOD
Gotta watch “good boys”. It’s one of the most underrated hilarious coming of age (a bit younger though) flick. I couldn’t stop laughing the entire movie.
Bill Hader is the other cop. He is was one of the long time SNL comedian.
You should watch the deleted scenes. Freaking hilarious! 🤣
That's it. I'm legally changing my name to McLovin.
I think it would be dope if you reacted to something directed by Kevin Smith all of his movies are a lot of fun they're really done well
I recommend clerks or Mallrats
I always wonder why in the period blood scene that Jonah Hill’s character is more embarrassed than the guy on the couch. The guy on the couch, with his bare fingers, wipes the blood off another guy’s crotch. Jonah’s character could have roasted the guy.
the couch bro is more of an investigator whereas seth was a human pad
This is a goat movie
So friggin funny bro
@@kabirconsiders Seth Rogan wrote this with his best friend and business partner Evan Goldberg when they were 13yrs old , budget was actually $17.5m , box office $171m
Dirty Grandpa is another hilarious movie.
One of the funniest movies ever made
P.s. Kabir rules.
lol actually it is passable. As long as the “ID” has a appropriate year on it, we pretty much ain’t looking at anything else. Fogel would’ve had got away with some drinks if I was working.
This movie was Emma Stone's big break
Friday Night Lights
You should react to the movie Mississippi Burning
Superbad? Super awesome 😁
The shorter police officer is the brains behind this movie.
Apparently it cost about $20m to make, a lot goes into the production value of making a movie, $5m would be pretty low quality.
Seeing Emma Stome made me think you should watch Zombieland
This film had a 20 million dollar budget.
Ahhh, McLovin, McLovin, McLovin, McLovin...
I think its time for the American Pie franchise 😂
Please react to the hangover films
20 million usd budget
i love the inbetweeners!
Classic
Unrated version is the best
Why is the film flipped?
To help against copyright issues
Great reaction. Main characters had great chemistry. SUGGESTION: Did you react to the second 300 movie, 300: Rise of an Empire? It stars Eva Green-yummy. Please react!
I liked your take, your reaction, on Superbad as a tragedy
check out CineBinge as it as a comedy
This is a very Jewish movie and it can be read both ways
Lube?
Why does it look like you're filming through a screen
I assume it’s for copyright
@@mattias3312 I get that, but why? I've seen this reaction without filters and there was no issues.
Your synchronization is off. Your reactions are all too early and play over the joke that you're supposed to be reacting to.
Jonah hill is still one of my favorite actors right now
