Superbad is superfun, with a homoerotic undertone to boot!

Natural performers Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play high school geeks who can't get dates and can't get into parties. But they are still looking for the last hurrah before they graduate and go off to different colleges.

That last hurrah turns out to be the party that Michael's ex-girlfriend Jules (sexy newcomer Emma Stone) is organising. Hoping to impress her and all the other foxy girls there, the boys promise to bring the booze. But they're underaged, so they're turning to their other geek friend (a hilarious Christopher Mintz-Plasse) for help...

Produced by Judd Apatow (who wrote and directed the terrifc comedies The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up), Superbad belongs to that time-honoured high school genre that deals with that awkward phase of growing up and discovering yourself, letting go of your best buddies and discovering sex.

Thanks to the charming performances and well-crafted script that flesh out the characters so completely, Superbad turns out to be sweeter than American Pie, funnier than Ferris Bueller's Day Off and more contemporary than any episode of The O.C. And the gentle homoerotic bond between the two best friends are a welcome admission to something we queers have known for a long time � that between any straight male buddies there's always a vein of homoerotic attraction.
