WHEN _SUPERBAD _WAS RELEASED ON AUGUST 17TH IN 2007, IT PROVED ITSELF
TO BE A MASSIVE SUCCESS RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN
THE FILM'S TARGET MILLENNIAL DEMOGRAPHIC.
The film wound up dominating at the box office, bringing in $170
million dollars worldwide, against a $20 million dollar budget. It
also launched the careers of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Stone,
Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Seth Rogen whose careers are
all thriving to this day. It further proved that Judd Apatow is now
one of the most successful film producers of his generation, bringing
the world hit after hit.
_Superbad _remains, to this day, a beloved comedy film for millennials
who grew up with it. This is because, unlike other comedies of that
era, it embraced the awkwardness of the characters, particularly with
someone like Michael Cera. Unlike the cartoonish representations of an
80s comedy like Revenge of the Nerds, Superbad presented itself with a
depth to the characters that enabled millennials (and other
generations) to bond with the movie in a more meaningful way.
Full of interviews with people like Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Michael
Cera, Emma Stone, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Martha MacIssac, Judd
Apatow, Bill Hader, Greg Motolla, Evan Goldberg, and Shauna Robertson,
_I Am McLovin _is a comprehensive guide to the movie that changed a
generation.
