Superbad

A recommendation goes to "Superbad" from Carina Chocano writing for the LA Times in her capsule review of the movie:

This is not a teen movie -- it's a movie about young people. Wide-eyed and sincere as it is hilariously, unrepentantly profane, the movie aims to express what it's like to stare down the barrel of your first lone foray into adulthood, and it's not afraid to be honest about it. High-strung, impulsive Seth (Jonah Hill) and shy, gentle Evan (the gifted Michael Cera) are days away from graduating from high school. Embarking on a late-night odyssey, an epic journey that takes them through all manner of perilous encounters with thugs and weirdos, drunks and cokeheads, and women who are way more uninhibited than they can handle, the lifelong best friends confront their fears, confessing their feelings and growing up. (C.C., Aug. 17) (1:54) R for pervasive crude and sexual content, strong language, drinking, some drug use and a fantasy/comic violent image -- all involving teens. (Read Chocano's full review of Superbad - A Sweet Surprise, teen raunch isn't what's shocking; it's the love story.)

Synopsis: High-school seniors Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) have high hopes for a graduation party: The co-dependent teens plan to score booze and babes so they can finally be part of the in-crowd, but their separation anxiety and two bored police officers (Bill Hader, Seth Rogen) complicate the pair's self-proclaimed mission.
