Reviews
Despite its low IMDb rating of 4.2/10, Superbad has garnered a cult following and remains a staple in the teen comedy genre. Critics have noted that while the film may not appeal to everyone, it has moments of raw familiarity and charm. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 76% from audiences and a 60% rating from critics, indicating a polarized reception. "Its irreverent humor and authentic depiction of teenage awkwardness resonate with viewers," writes Entertainment Weekly, highlighting the film's cultural impact. The Guardian described it as, "A surprisingly earnest take on the teen experience that contrasts its raunchy exterior with genuine emotional depth." However, not all reviews have been favorable; some critics feel the film leans too heavily on crass humor, diminishing its potential. Overall, 'Superbad' has been recognized for its sharp writing and relatable themes, even if it hasn't won over every viewer. As Metacritic rates it at 51/100, the film stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of comedy in the 2010s.
