Gabe LaBelle<\/strong>\u00a0is like, 19 years old, and his and his friends\u2019 favorite movie is \u201cSuperbad.\u201d So it by no means modified for some purpose.\u201d Then comes Rogen\u2019s daring assertion: \u201cNo one\u2019s made a good high school movie since then.\u201d<\/p>\nSo let\u2019s unpack that for a second: has there been any good highschool films since \u201cSuperbad\u201d? Of course! Just to rattle off a couple of: \u201cLady Bird<\/strong>,\u201d \u201cDope<\/strong>,\u201d \u201cEasy A<\/strong>\u201d (which stars \u201cSuperbad\u201d co-star\u00a0Emma Stone<\/strong>), the \u201c21 Jump Street<\/strong>\u201d films (with \u201cSuperbad\u201d co-star\u00a0Jonah Hill<\/strong>), \u201cThe Edge Of Seventeen<\/strong>,\u201d and, arguably, \u201cThe Bling Ring<\/strong>,\u201d \u201cSing Street<\/strong>,\u201d and \u201cSubmarine<\/strong>.\u201d But do any of these seize the identical timeless appeal of dweeby, attractive adolescent dudes like \u201cSuperbad\u201d does? Not fairly.<\/p>\nThe highschool comedy with the closest resemblance to Rogen\u2019s movie is undoubtedly\u00a0Olivia Wilde<\/strong>\u2018s 2019 film \u201cBooksmart<\/strong>,\u201d which is basically \u201cSuperbad\u201d for girls. But does being similar equate to being better or equal to? That\u2019s one thing for followers to determine, however Rogen\u2019s declare does present some meals for thought. Did the highschool film peak with \u201cSuperbad\u201d? Maybe it did for a specific model of teenage boy, however there have been loads of different flavors of highschool comedies, starting from raunchy to not-so-raunchy, since that movie got here out.<\/p>\nBut don\u2019t count on Rogen to return to the \u201cSuperbad\u201d effectively any time quickly, as he doubtless feels just like that film as he does about \u201cFreak And Geeks.\u201d As as to whether he\u2019d ever be a part of a sequel to that short-lived however beloved sequence, Rogen stated, \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone would do it. It\u2019s so rare that you do something in your career that is actually just viewed as good. I know enough now not to f*ck with that, to just let it be good and not try to go revisit it. And just let it exist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And so does \u201cSuperbad\u201d exist because the obvious highest echelon of youngster comedy. So the query stays: will any future highschool film come to knock Rogen\u2019s movie off that prestigious pedestal?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
