Head to YouTube. Done that? Good. Search for “superbad r rated”. Watch trailer. Funny wasn’t it? A splurge of puerile filth perhaps, but seeing as its creators share Arrested Development, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and next month’s Knocked Up on their CVs, it could be the funniest cummingof-age film since American Pie. Telling of two tighter-than-agnat’s-chuff high school buddies – Arrested Development’s Michael Cera and Jonah Hill – Superbad is full of spunk, booze and “Your mum...” gags. For example, here’s Hill to Cera after copping an eyeful of his buddy’s mum’s bosoms: “I am truly jealous you got to suck on those tits when you were a baby.” Cera’s retort? “At least you got to suck on your dad’s dick.” Ah, the comic richness of teen misadventure… In further New American Comedy Kings news, Harold Ramis is to direct Year One, produced by Judd Apatow (40…, Knocked Up director) and starring Cera and Jack Black. The plot’s still a mystery, but a US Office writers are on board. There’s no stopping these guys.
