The Pitch Review: Superbad

CHRISTOPHER (Fogell): It’s trying too hard.

JONAH (Seth): No, it’s not. Idiot. It’s f***ing funny.

CHRISTOPHER: Okay, some of it is funny. But we sound like hormonal teenage boys trying to make people laugh. I think there’s too much dick in it.

JONAH: There’s no such thing as too much dick, ass*****.

MICHAEL (Evan): omg. I don’t think you hear yourself, though. Maybe sometimes we sound a bit too angry, don’t we? Maybe we should tone down some of the hostility.

JONAH: No f’ing way. It’d lose its magic. So you can just go to hell. In fact, lets be sure to make it extra grossly juvenile. Try nastier than American-Pie-dick-in-a-pie-nasty.

MICHAEL. : Extra? Really? Is nasty the new funny?

ROGAN: You guys are way funny, and they’ll never expect it. I think it’s possible you could steal the show. I mean you, Fogell.

CHRISTOPHER: really?

MICHAEL. Yeah. It’s a possibility.  But if it doesn’t work, it won’t be because of you.

ROGAN: True dat. You guys got some nice dance moves, dudes. Oh sh**! Let’s use that to open! It’ll be awesome! I mean, we’re all really young, but us older guys are super funny.

JONAH: So in this movie you have to be relatively “old” to be really funny? It's funnier the further you get into it! 'Cause see, the further you get into it, the older you get, too. Strong ending, people. Strong ending.

ROGAN: Shut up, Jonah.
