***Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this upcoming book***
I was so pumped to find this book on NetGalley, as Superbad is one of my all-time favorite movies and one that I still quote on an almost daily basis. This book rules! It covers the entire process of this movie’s history, from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg coming up with the idea while they were teens to its staying power in the current day. It is well written and packed with hilarious stories and quite possibly everything there is to know about this legendary comedy.

I can’t recommend this book enough to all fans of the movie and anyone interested in movie production generally. Give it a read!!

These pop culture deep dives into millennial national treasures are really spoiling me. I cannot get enough of them.

I was unaware of the original Vanity Fair piece so I enjoyed this quite a bit. Being nitpicky, the oral history format for this book would have been more fun and more personal, but the information was still presented very well and was engaging. Being as how Superbad is seen as the movie of a generation while also being timeless, it will be interesting in the future to see how it all holds up. So it's cool to have a record of those moments in the present.

The book was basic, but that's not a negative. It includes how it got made, amusing behind-the-scenes movie magic facts, and discourse on how certain scenes would or wouldn't be accepted in today's climate (the latter of which always comes across as a little eyeroll-y to me, but its inclusion is understandable.)

Thank you to NG and the publisher!

Very fun, quick read about "Superbad." It's amazing from the time Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg started writing this movie IN HIGH SCHOOL through the ten years it took to get made, they never doubted that if this movie ever did come out, it would be a hit. You empathize with their frustration that it took so long for the studios to finally see what they saw.

This book covers the writing, the battle to get made, the casting, filming, release and even the legacy now that we're almost 20 years down the road. If you are a fan of the movie, you will certainly love the story of how it all magically came together. Great memories from the various people involved.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an e-galley of the book in return for this review.

This was such a fun read for someone who was actually in high school when Superbad came out. It truly was such a defining moment in my friends & I's youth. While this book was a fun, quick read it's also full of a lot of things I kinda already knew so it didn't feel fresh or like I was getting in on some inside secrets. I was hoping, before opening it, that it would be an oral history but alas, dreams were dodged. I think it may have been a bit more successful in its aim if it was but regardless I still really enjoyed it!

This was a fantastic look back at Superbad and enjoyed getting to learn about the history of this. Andrew Buss wrote this perfectly and was able to create a great history and enjoyed the overall package.
