Plot Summary

Superbad follows the cautionary and hilariously chaotic story of two socially awkward high school seniors on the brink of graduation. Their friendship is absurdly co-dependent, forged through years of shared insecurity and juvenile bravado. But with different colleges awaiting them, they are forced to confront adulthood—and life—on their own for the first time.

Evan (Michael Cera) is sweet-natured, intelligent, and painfully timid, while Seth (Jonah Hill) is fast-talking, impulsive, and obsessively fixated on the opposite sex. Over the course of one unforgettable and deeply humiliating night, Superbad captures their panic-driven, misguided attempts to impress the girls they admire—an evening destined to be permanently etched into their memories.
