Superawesome.
It was only a matter of time before the R-rated comedy trickled its way back down into teen territory, where, in all honesty, it belongs. Teens have some of the foulest mouths and dirtiest minds on the planet, (not only from observation, but from experience.) So it’s only natural that a backdrop such as high school, having a crush in high school, and being invited to a party hosted by the girl you have a crush on while you are still in high school, provides the best environment for not only unadulterated laughs, but also opportunities to capture the horror of the awkwardness that comes with the age. A lot of talented forces came together to tell a wonderful story about friendship; Greg Mottola’s retro-style direction added the right sense of nostalgia, Rogen and Goldberg’s script is both truthful and hilarious, and everyone in the cast is spot on. If you don’t mind a bit of hilarious vulgarity with your coming-of-age stories, this is one of the best the decade has to offer.
