I would say this is the American Pie of the 2000s...
Very similar movies although Superbad takes place in the era it came out, where as Dazed came out in the 90s but takes place in the 70s. Even similar in the sense that both Dazed and Superbad are named after legendary songs that are NOT on the movie soundtracks.
Recat to anchor man
@El Vato It actually is quite a bit like Dazed although it focuses on one core friend group rather than a few. It has the "last chance to party at the end of the school year" focus that the kids have, trying to scrum together something cool outside of the view of cops and parents, as well as most of the main events taking place over a period of about 24 hours.
So ya I do get the Dazed comparison for sure. It also, liked Dazed, has a striking realness to the way high school kids behave and think. In a lot of movies about teens the dialogue feels like it was written by adults and the actors don't look like teenagers. Even American Pie... all those moments and lines of dialogue feel very contrived and the actors playing high schoolers look 25 or older. In both Dazed and Superbad, the dialogue and actors feel more legit to the time period and age they're supposed to be in imo.
American Gods do that.
I love how Michael Cera ran off into the darkness. "he's the fastest kid alive" lol
Cracked me up
Cop’s on the THC diet!
The upright-ness always kills me lol
@@becksimilian2955 lol
I know ye the way he ran was hilarious for some reason, I think it was coz of how sudden it was. 😂
“My brother came all the way from Scottsdale, Arizona to be here tonight, and you’re not gonna sing for him?”
lol
One of the best lines ever. I was drinking with some buddy’s the other night and out of nowhere I just quoted that lol
mike perry the goat
long live old town lol gross
ooh, and the selection… who had ‘these eyes’ on their bingo card?!? no-fucking/body!!! 😂
The “there’s so much blood” scene is just my favorite. Bill Hader’s ambivalent facial expression kills me every time.
The Micael Cera scene with him singing and everyone doing coke around him is so good. So much chaotic energy.
One of the few scenes that depicts that “coke energy” really good
Ian Kane Definitely! I’ve been in ‘that room’ way too many times (way too many times) & it feels pretty true to life🤣
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 glad it’s over lol, the worst is when you wake up and remember you had a 3 hour conversation about floor tile at 3am and you just hear someone in the background go “wanna get more?”
Like, as soon as dude says, "Who's THAT guy," you know it's over with. He's been discovered and they're not gonna let him leave without paying tribute.
He gets looked over but the last guy in the room who closes the door and IMMEDIATELY is confused seeing Cera is great.
The sound McLovin makes when he gets punched in the liquor store is amazing
YESSS he fucking goes "eEp" i love that scene sm
But his facial injury disappeared at the party.😆🤣👊👍
Look at my name. I almost jumped off my seat getting this notification
Hahaha wait til you hear me shout you out 👍🏽
@@JamesVSCinema wtf I thought you were joking omg
Can’t believe both you and Brandonlikesmovies haven’t seen this before. I watched this way too many times when this came out.
Hahahaha yeah we tend to have missed the wave on films often
@@JamesVSCinema not sure if you saw this but I believe Seth Rogen started writing this with his writing partner/best friend when they were in high school and a lot of this film is loosely based on their experiences in high school.
That Brandon guy apparently never saw any popular movies before he started his RUclips reaction channel, despite him having a thousand DVDs in the shelfs behind him and despite the fact, he always seem to guess every twist in every movie, when he sees them "first time".
@@Skovbo79 brooo i always thought that,all those fucking dvds starting to look like props lmaoo
@@Skovbo79 having seen a lot of his videos I disagree with your comment heavily. He is super genuine and has a great knowledge of filmmaking. He collects Blu Rays and has been super upfront about what he does and doesn’t know about every movie he goes into. No reason to think he’s lying about his reactions.
Me: "Oh look, Superbad! The one that for me put the new generation of comedic actors on the map"
James: "the OGs of comedic actors, back in the day..."
I must be REALLY old...
I'm like, "but, but, but Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, anyone that came out of 70's SNL..." James needs to watch some older comedy movies.
@@Danny-Patts I don't know what that means 🤷
As someone whose first generation of comedic actors was Jerry Lewis, Abbot & Costello, Don Knotts.... I feel your pain.
Kindof a weird comment for a filmmaker to say
@@andrewcharles459 who? 😁
This will always be one of my favorites, and it's mostly because they NAILED the high school boy dialogue. I remember being like this for a brief period of time. hahaha Good times.
Super authentic
You mean you were a comedic genius for a brief period of time?
One of the best comedies of 2000s
"People don't forget!" I remember seeing that scene with Dave Franco for the first time and just practically pissing my pants. I don't know how many times I've said that line in my life. This movie is practically comedic perfection.
In the theatre there was just massive laughter after massive laughter to where you missed lines. That is when you know it is a hit.
The Dazed and Confused comparison is high praise, and rightly deserved. Superbad is a modern classic.
Superbad is just like Dazed and Confused except it's not painfully boring and pointless
You said, "Oh no! I'm cringing! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
Like you were turning into the Hulk!
I watched this in the theater on a date with a girl as a senior in high school and we both loved it and felt like it perfectly captured a version of what we were living at that moment.
I remember the first time watching this gem and then that escalator scene takes place, and the camera pov is moving further back away from the two protagonists... and I'm thinking "wait a minute, are they(?) is this goin' where I think it's going?" and then Curtis Mayfield's lyrics come up "I guess I'll always feel this way..." and I was just blown away. I had to watch it all over again. Beautiful reaction vid as usual, btw :)
Can you elaborate, idk if I get it lol
This came out the summer I graduated high school, it was the perfect movie at the perfect time
My favorite teen comedy of all time, it leaves a bitter sweet ending which most comedies don’t haves
Totally get what you’re saying!
Mclovin scene is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen lmao love this
Highly recommend Booksmart, a similar film
Hahaha iconic moment for sure haha
It was between that or Muhammad
(beat)
*eyes bulge*
The noise he made when he got knocked out at 11:28 is in imo the funniest part of the movie
“Hey! McMuffin!”
Book smart is a must see
The fact that almost every single character in this movie, including McLovin, is based on a real person makes this movie better.
Even more so to think they are Canadian.
That part when they force Michael Cera to sing in the room, hilarious!
You cringing at Seth kissing Jules and her pushing him away made me laugh so hard, brother. You the man, James. Keep grinding.
He looked like every villain in power rangers when they got hit with the finishing blast
It’s just that photo on the McLovin id that just cracks me up every time
The movie is hilarious obviously, but the ending is actually really powerful and deeper than you'd expect.
It's what makes these movies so good. Yes they're hilarious, but they have heart
10:04 “never had a choice” 😂😂😂😂💀
😂😂😂
My boy looked like he got hit with a kamehameha when he cringed 😂
😂😂😂
I love the "smokey" Demi Moore voice too
We are men of great taste
Yup.
shoutout to the raspy voiced we love you when others won't
There are more out there than you think cause look at Jessica Rabbit they had the great kathleen turner voice her who has the deepest raspiest voice as a woman 😎😉
@@JohnnyGingy lol 😂
I gotta recommend Pineapple Express after this. Also not sure if you already went for Knocked Up, but Knocked Up came out earlier in the same summer as Superbad. Good times.
I saw this move in the theater when I was 16. This and Pineapple express were pretty big comedy film touchstones for me and my generation as a teenager. Looking back on these now, I'm surprised by how well they hold up. Not everything holds up the way you think it will as time passes.
2007 OG, back in the day... I'll just be over here rusting in peace.
*Whimpers In Chevy Chase & Bill Murray*
bro james, you need to watch Barry. Bill Hader wrote and directed most of it and he also plays the main role in it and by god it is one of the best shows ever I swear. it has really nice shots in it as well that i think you would like aswell.
My brother bought me this movie for Christmas the year it came out. My mom knew nothing about it and put it on the tv while we had our Christmas breakfast👌🏻😂😂
Sounds like a good Christmas to me! 😂
The Dazed and Confused comparison was so spot on. Your observations are hilarious and spot on.
That's where everybody gets McLovin from😂😂😂
My buddy had two free tickets to see this at a preview screening, we laughed like drains from the open to the close. The end title sequence with all of the dick drawings nearly killed both of us. 🤣
This movie was released during my junior year of high school, it felt so fucking real with all of the emotions about college and women and just having a fuckin blast. Definitely my "what was high school like for me" movie.
The fact you’re a film maker and haven’t seen some of these gems always blows my mind lol. Great stuff man I freakin love this movie
"could you imagine the Coen Brothers making a porn?"
You mean like Logjammin? Where the guy fixes the cable?
lol “he fixes the cable?”
The story is ludicrous
@@nian_purkhard Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
Gotta watch booksmart after seeing this and dazed and confused now
James has to be one of the most genuine RUclipsrs that does reactions
Thanks a lot for that my friend 🙏🏽♥️
One of my all time favourite comedy movies seen it so many times I can relate to these guys so much the banter and Jokes are so good I'm not even from America I'm British and the humor just clicked with me when i watched it for the first time 12 years ago
Hahaha that’s saying something. Happy to hear this movie you vibed with!
@@JamesVSCinema hell yeah love this movie so much it makes me laugh every single time I watch it it never gets boring glad it made you laugh too james :)
One of the best endings ever in a comedy! Captures the bittersweet feeling of graduating and leaving your friends behind perfectly!
6:42 Killed me with the attention to detail in the drawings. Then I died laughing when the end credits began to show more drawings with even more creativity and detail.
If there was one movie in particular that helped shape my sense of humor, it's this one
No freaking way. God this movie is great. As always great work James. Stay up brother.
Much love as always my g!
This is one of my favorite Michael Cera performances because of how real and understated it is. Combined with the wardrobe choices... like I graduated HS in '06, I totally KNEW so many guys just like Evan
I love your comments on Dazed and Confused.
Your channel is awesome bro, keep up the good work!
Much love! Thank you!
James you should definitely react to “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower”
YES
Such a classic.
For my generation, GenX, I'd say Porky's was my "coming of age" movie, fortunately I was born at a time that I was a teen when we had so many great films that dealt with teenage life, Dead Poets Society, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Weird Science, Can't Buy Me Love, Better Off Dead... heck the list goes on and on. These types of movies should never die.
Try watching 'BookSmart' it's the best comedy about high school in many years. Smart, witty, hilarious, touching and poignant.
This works so well, because Seth and his buddy were actually going through high school while writing/polishing this script,
I don't know if id consider Seth a bastion of wisdom.. But im only 3mins in and you got me rolling with " Michael Cera should be protected at all costs".. lmfao
Lmao soon as i saw this i thought "oh...hes gonna have to mute SO much of the dialogue" 😂😂😂 *shakes fist at YT algorithm*
Hahaha thankfully I was able to get through it 😭
@@JamesVSCinema lmao yes
The best high school movie since Breakfast Club, which was the best since Fast Times, which is the best since American Graffiti.
Breakfast Club hopeless dull movie, American Graffiti disappointing and overrated
Seth Rogan put some Canadian easter eggs in the movie. Many of the characters had the names of people from his childhood. The street names in the movie are from our city of Vancouver. Cera's song "These Eyes" is from Canadian Burton Cummings. There are others that I have forgotten.
This came out when I was nearing the end of high school, and to this day it’s the only film that’s legitimately captured the high school experience
When Michael Cera started singing to the group of guys doing coke. I almost lost it in the theatre.
I think this movie resonated with so many people because it portrays a Mindset most of us can remember having at one point in time.
You should watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, makes the "Trainspotting" kids look like just a bunch of candy eaters.
Heya James, since you're a filmmaker, I suggest you react to the film The Player (1992), it's a film about film making, plus it's a really good movie. Your reaction videos are first class btw.
I am in constant aww of the ... Ability?.. Of this community to both take this seriously and have fun with it.
The world is a great place, I'm happy to both learn and enjoy here!
So good to hear!!
Tbh my single favourite part of this movie is Emma stone's "what the fuck?!" Line delivery.
Idk why but its so perfect
And shout out to "what are you, seal?"
This is one of my favorite movies I don't care what anyone says I could watch this like every couple of months and still be good
If you liked this movie, you will like “Good Boys”. It’s kinda like Superbad with middle schoolers. One of my favorite comedies of the last few years.
I graduated high school in 2007, saw this in theaters. Definitely an important movie to me and my friends.
American pie is also a good one! You def need to watch it
Will do!
I watched this movie recently and realized that the mclovin scene is where I sit during lunch at school
Every actor has nailed their roles in this movie!!
You should put Submarine on your to be watched list too its fantastic and only comes second to Super bad when it comes to modern high school movie.
Superbad is one of those movies anybody born from the 80s-2010s have to see. It’s just awesome and timeless.
"It's Merlot!!" This film made me cry tears when I rented it at Blockbuster. Had an alcoholic beverage before and Jesus, there I was.
Hey, you're right about that being a dazed & confused party. Carla Gallo and Bill Hader would've been in highschool in 93 (as was I).
Haha my brother you and Mr. Video dropped the same movie within 20 minutes. Word much Love from the Navajo Nation!
My brother! Much love to you and the Navajo homies 🙏🏽
the craziest part about this film is the fact it was written by Seth Rogen and his long time writing partner Evan Goldberg, loosely based on their high school experience and they first started writing this movie while they were underclassmen in high school. i watched this film for so many years and never even realized it was written by Seth Rogen
Everybody went to high school with one or more people who were exactly like Fogell
my college roommate was exactly like fogel except unlike fogel he never turned it around with the ladies
@@EvanLyman a bit of a Clark Kent/Superman was he
Chicka chicka yeah.
The guy on the left who was laughing at Seth when he had the blood on his pants is Jody Hill, a director who has worked on some really funny projects like East Bound And Down, The Foot Fist Way, The Righteous Gemstones, and more. You should check out some of his work.
Where have all these guys, who react to movies, been? How can you have soooo many of these really popular movies to watch for the first time??
I’m just amazed at the level of the scriptwriting they did at such a young age.
I was in my mid twenties when I saw this movie in theaters and I loved it. I'm 40 now and it's still damn funny. So many great lines in this movie. Awesome reaction my man.
Fun Fact - Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg wrote the story for this when they were teens and was meant to be for themselves, it never come to light until far later and they thought they were too old to play it so put the parts for Jonah, Michael and Chris. Obviously things changed when it came to writing the movie but the main story was already written years before, thats partly why Jonahs part is called Seth
This film, Pineapple Express and Role Models were instant comedy classic! Brings back memories 😄
Always coming through with great reactions to great movies and shows
There are so many little moments in this movie that I quote / reference to this day.. to the point that I had forgotten they came from this movie until now lol
Bill & Seth shouldve had a Cop movie off of this. They were hilarious.
Since every reactor is doing it I noticed 2 things on multiple viewings. The color palette is super warm so to me it feels like fall but if they're graduating it's around summer. Also I really like how the movie ends now when before I didn't. It's suppose to be about high school kids so the ending just feels like another day. Makes it feel more real that this was just a crazy Friday or whatever.
“He’s a freak! He’s the fastest kid alive!”😂
this is one of the funniest movies i’ve ever seen
It’s still pretty damn funny to this day haha
*He's either gonna think, oh heres another kid with a fake ID or heres McLovin the Hawaiian Organ Donor.*
TWO Superbad reactions in one day? It must Christmas! S/O to Mr. Video as well!
One of the best comedic experiences in a movie theater for sure!
There was dazed and confused, American pie, and then Superbad 👌👌 classic!
I'm 23 as well so this was a great reaction to watch it def brings back those high school vibes back lmao
YES!! Thank you James!
Anytime my brother!
Dude! You need to watch Kickass and Kickass 2!
Added to the list!
The first Kick-Ass is absolutely incredible. I wasn’t as big a fan of the second one, though still entertaining.
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames second one is so awesome, Mother Russia for one thing
"Good Boys" is a nice companion to this film. Its cast is younger and it's more recent and well worth a look. I had a lot of fun with that one too. 🙂
Would definitely recommend Hot Rod if you like this.
This was the funniest movie I ever watched. Saw it in my junior year in high school and it was the first time I watched a high school movie that had realistic dialogue. Like this kinda shit was exactly how me and my friend group talked to each other.
The lube conversation kills me everytime 😂
