It’s so confusing to be a boy—especially when George W. Bush is president, and you’re waiting for life to get interesting. Superbad is nominally about two best friends, Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill), who are desperate to have the perfect end-of-high school night out where all liquor is consumed and all crushes are consummated. But it’s also a movie about the transition into adulthood, when once-important friendships become a little less idealized and still-forming personalities step into the beliefs they will carry for years to come. Evan and Seth are close with each other because they are, literally, close to each other—but what will happen when that’s no longer the case? And what do they need to figure out while there’s still time to do it face-to-face?
