What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry It's so bad, it just has to be good. | 15 | |
Cape Times Carina Chocano For a film so deliriously smutty, Superbad is supercute. | 10 | |
iAfrica.com Rebekah Kendal Bad to the bone. | 13 | |
The Citizen Bruce Dennill This film is not child-friendly — it has a more severe censor's rating in the US, and rightly so — but if you're in a suitable age bracket, you won't see a funnier film this year. | 16 | |
Sunday Times Barry Ronge The funniest, dirtiest movie I have seen this year. | 10 | |
24.com Ivan Sadler By no means perfect, Superbad is, however, a very funny film with far deeper characters than most teen comedies. | 15 | |
BBC Paul Arendt A 21st century splicing of those old frathouse favourites Porky's and Revenge Of The Nerds, perfectly pitched at a generation sexually bewildered by a banquet of free pornography. | 20 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Superbad is a four-letter raunch-a-rama with a heart, and an inordinate interest in other key organs. | 18 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli The movie is frequently amusing and occasionally uproarious. | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers It helps that the fun doesn’t stop. It helps even more that the pitch-perfect script doesn’t step out of character for a joke. | 18 | |
ScreenIt One of the raunchiest and, at times, funniest teen sex comedies to come down the cinematic pike in quite some time. | 9 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer An authentic take on the awkwardness of the high school experience. | 17 | |
