This review by James Berardinelli is one that is streight to the point and doesn't add unnessary commentary. Me and James Berardinelli share many of the same views, towards this movie. We both believe that although the movie is full of adult humor and outragious antics, the director never loses sight of the characters and there individuality in this movie.
Both of us agree that each of the main characters are definitly unique in there own way. There is Seth (Jonah Hill) a chubby teenager that is very focused on getting "some" before the end of the school year. Evan (Michael Cera) who's basically an average kind of guy whos shy around girls and gets persuaded by his friend Seth to do some very outragous things. Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) whos a complete nerd and even a social outcast around the other outcasts, who in this movie gets pressured into geting a fake identification card with the name "McLovin".
We both also agree that the trailers for superbad were horrible and in no way shape or form should stop you from seeing the movie.

The trailers for Superbad are uniformly awful and should therefore be avoided. Having seen the movie, it's easy to understand why the advertisements are lackluster. The film needs context for the jokes to be funny. Lobbed naked at audiences, they often don't work. And, thankfully, the previews don't commit the cardinal sin of giving away the best punch-lines.

Although i have alrdy seen this movie this review as inspired me to see it again.

The prime requisite of any comedy - that it generate laughs - is amply met. Superbad is chock full of R-rated glee. Although there are instances of physical humor (some of which pays homage, either intentionally or unintentionally, to The Three Stooges) and sex-related jokes (including penis drawings), most of the comedy is in the dialogue. There are some hilarious one-liners, including one remark about health class that no one leaving the theater will forget. Through all of the mayhem, however, director Mottola never loses sight of his characters, and that's a key point to remember. While we laugh both with and at the protagonists, we also care about them.

This critic presents his review with examples of why he says certain things. An example would be when he talks about the movie's downfall's (which there is little) he presents examples from other movies the director directed. James Berardinelli talks about how the movie is long winded, which are the same issues that happened in the movie The 40 year old vergin and Knocked up. I think this critic does a good job of showing both the positives and negitives of the movie and also backing them up with solid examples and facts.
