McLovin

My friend's girlfriend got a couple of passes to a sneak preview of Superbad (by the 40 Year-Old Virgin people). This friend Jabbers me at work about it, and after IMDB'ing it, I decide that the movie's premise on IMDB is really stupid: Two high school best friends (Jonah Hill, Michael Cera) go on a mission to provide alcohol for a graduation party in hopes of losing their virginity.

And yet I still make the trip to Bellevue after work for the movie. And the plot was indeed as silly as it seems: these two high school seniors need to get girlfriends so that they can have two solid months of sex before leaving for college (so they won't be such noobs when they get there). Think American Pie meets Girl Next Door meets Super Troopers, but WAY less mature.

The highlight of the film for us, though, were the two cops (Seth Rogen and Bill Hader) and "McLovin", the "25-year old Hawaiian organ donor". Seriously, I'm going to be making reservations for McLovin for a while.

So if you like dirty and crude humor (you'd better, that's basically all they've got), then go download this movie. I can't see it being as popular as 40 Year-Old Virigin (haven't seen it), and it runs a little long. I'd probably watch it again if I didn't have to pay money for it.
