Plot: In desperate need of a vacation after being unceremoniously dumped by his TV-star girlfriend, a man travels to a lavish Hawaiian resort to nurse his wounds and forget his heartache, only to discover that his ex and her handsome new boyfriend are currently staying at the exact same island hot spot. Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) may be just another struggling musician, but for the past six years he's been dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), one of the hottest stars on television. Sarah is everything in the world to Peter, so when she kindly but firmly tells him that they should each go their separate ways, he is absolutely devastated. Later, after attempting to salvage his ego by awkwardly attempting to become a womanizer and nearly losing his job because of a nervous breakdown, an emotionally fragile Peter attempts to put the past behind him by escaping to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu. While at first it seems as if Peter has discovered the perfect prescription for a bad case of lost love, his plan soon turns to dust when Sarah and her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), turn up at the exact same resort. Though accepting Sarah's lavish new lifestyle won't be easy for the crestfallen Peter, the laid-back companionship of flirtatious resort employee Rachel (Mila Kunis) -- not to mention a continuous regimen of fruity cocktails -- goes a long way in mending the wounds of a broken heart. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was penned by Segel and produced by Judd Apatow. Fun with Dick and Jane screenwriter Nicholas Stoller makes his directorial debut. The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, and Jonah Hill. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

One of the worst movies I saw last year!
Added 9/14/2009

The jokes were not appealing to me at all and I nearly fell asleep in the theater!

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen!

Stupid movie but fun.
Added 9/12/2009

I bought this movie because Reggie Young, the trombonist for Earth, Wind and Fire, plays on the soundtrack. It's a really stupid, teen movie but IS very funny. I don't think I'll watch it more than once (or maybe twice). I like the actual soundtrack CD much better than the movie but I don't mind it being in my collection.

The Title is Very Appropriate
Added 9/4/2009

Wow, 'Superbad' is just that...Super Bad.

For starters, could Jonah Hill be anymore annoying? All this guy does when he's not standing there with a blank look on his face is moaning and complaining about everything that goes on around him. That's his character...a whiner who groans about everything and is not remotely amusing when he's doing it.

Let's add in a couple of cops who are trying to impress another teenager by showing him how cool they are doing their job. Getting drunk at a bar, driving and then running into Jonah Hill with their cruiser. Ha Ha Ha. That's some great comedy right there. I might have given this another half star if Hill actually didn't get up or was hurt so badly he couldn't talk the remainder of the film, no such luck.

The basic premise of the movie is boys want to sleep with girls they like in high school and are trying to buy alcohol for the end of the school year party. That's good...it's an automatic money machine for teenagers everywhere. I just can't imagine how so many people gave this favorable reviews when there's one funny moment in the entire movie (at a bar when they loop a videotape of a kid getting clocked in the jaw).

It's not funny at all. Jonah Hill completely ruins every scene he's in due to the fact he might be the most annoying man on the planet and note to Directors everywhere: make your female teenage leads smokin' hot in movies like this...not Lindsay Lohan-like trailer trash.

There isn't even any skin shown here.

Just embarrassingly bad, really. Superembarrassinglybad, that is.

One of the worst movies I have EVER seen!
Added 9/2/2009

People should consider the word "Superbad" not as the film's title, but rather a description of the film. I wish that there was a way I could give this movie zero stars! It was AWFUL!!! And it was a complete waste of my time! (Two hours I'll never get back!) Thank goodness I didn't spend the money to see it in the theater!

The director spent all of his time on trying to make the movie crude and vulgar, rather than funny. Movies can be crude, yet still be funny, such as "American Pie." Well, "Superbad" was not one of those movies. I did NOT find it funny at all. In fact, the fat kid was so obnoxious and disrespectful towards women that he alone ruins the movie! I don't think I've ever seen a movie that insults the level of Human intelligence as much as this one does. I'm surprised and disappointed that today's high school and college youth would find this film entertaining at all. A monkey in a lab would require more intellectual stimulation than what this movie provides.

The dialogue is unnecessarily crude and vulgar throughout the entire film, and the plot is just not interesting. Basing an entire movie on three high school losers who try to impress a few girls by bringing alcohol to a party??? Great message to send there, Director. Not only does it send a very poor message to today's youth, but it is painfully unoriginal.

Don't waste your time on this film.

Superbad
Added 8/4/2009

This is one of my favorite movie of all time. This movie will have you laughing from beginning to end. Superbad is the kind of movie you would want to watch over and over again.

funny movie
Added 10/31/2009

Have watched a lot of comedies recently that didn't keep my attention but the time flew with this movie. Great characters, funny lines (I'm still quoting some), and an excellent cast. Highly recommend.

Huh ???
Added 10/28/2009

I simply cannot believe how the critics frothed over this unfunny garbage. I felt so ripped off that I decided I would boycott that movie review TV show 'At The Movies' --- they couldn't praise this movie enough. Both my girlfriend and I almost walked out of the theater, but we stuck it out. When the credits rolled we both looked at each other like, "Huh???"
