on your face.
-
I can now go to sleep in my tears.
-
Son of a bitch!!!
-
I just wasn't like that in high school. My friends weren't all versions of Stifler. I kept my horniness in my own head (or my bedroom). Am I the exception here?
-
complete exception.
-
...and another reason why most of you intentionally drink...hoping for such an encounter!!! Enjoy!!!!!
-
they have been making the same film since animal house...and it works every time...of course no one talks like this but come on, we did talk to each other like this...just never to girls i just wish they would stop fucking teasing us and make a movie with all the freaks and geeks in it
-
I wasn't too hyped about this movie. It sounded really fuckin typical to me. But that trailer just changed my entire opinion on the film. I'm sure I would have eventually seen it, but now I actually really want to see it.
-
who are assholes? Can't we ever see any who aren't total twats? Is it some sort of nerd/jock/preppie amalgam?
-
How you perceive profanity is your own opinion (and rightfully so), but its usage in through adolescence into the teenage years begins in elementary school when you start to find out all these new words and use them to sound cool and older than you are (which might make you sound just as young as you are, ironically). Granted in Superbad it's exaggerated (I can't think of a kid I know that drew that many dicks that well), but from like 4th grade on this was EXACTLY the way we talked. I'm sure it varies, but free of adults, shooting the shit with your childhood friends included (i.e.) using the word shit in all of its wondrous non-literal forms, such as: "this is good shit," "what the shit is wrong with you," "i would shit on that girl's chest," "you're a piece of shit," "i just shit my pants," etc. On some occasions all of the above statements could be taken literally, which really was the true beauty of high school. And there's no greater modifier than the word "fucking," for what it's worth.
-
usage THROUGH adolescence. fuck. (see?)
-
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
-
I've never had a problem with language or sex in a film that I can remember until this new Apatow craze where the crudeness just seems to be amped up to the point where it's no longer funny, it's off-putting. This is obviously an autobiographical piece about a lousy summer job and being a teenager, but if it's just full of these kind of gags, what's the point? Are you saying anything new? Will we give a shit about the characters? Or is it just about the shock value and ewwww factor now?
-
cos some people are like that, not nerds, not jocks etc.
-
when I was sixteen.
-
There were so many 80s movies about losers and nerds that were so much better...like "Risky Business", "Real Genius" and "Money Can't Buy Me Love". "Superbad" is a movie that will be soon forgotten. It was just an overhyped flimsy film. McLovin was cool, but that fat guy is annoying. Oh...speaking of losers, check out a film from the 90s called "Stoned Age". The film was about the late 70s and was really authentic and inspired. It is as funny as hell, and a really good and handsomely executed lost film!!! Trust me, Stoned Age should have had the kind of success that Superbad had, but didn't, doesn't, deserve.
-
Why the hell is this crap rated R?!? Why the fuck is America so fucking afraid of showing some fucking naked titties? Wtf?
Btw, enough with these boring "comedy" flicks already! ENOUGH! -
"Don't fall asleep"
"Why?"
"Cos' I'll jack-off in your face"
Made me laugh out loud...As did Superbad, so count me in. -
I think you need TP for your bunghole, Roland_The_Gunslinger.
-
uh, National Lampoon's Stoned Age (aka Homo Erectus) was not from the 90's.. does 2007 really seem that long ago to you?

the funniest thing Mike Judge ever wrote was the following
by emeraldboy
Was when Beavis went around saying I am Cornholio. I need TP for my bunghole. When I saw that I laughed untill I was sick. I loved beavis and butthead. that show was so fucking sharp. Idiots in Europe that it was some sign that america was dumbing down. Judge is a genius. especially the way he skewerd MTV and the kids who watched non stop videos.
-
...like I blister in the sun.
-
I don't have a problem with the language at all, and yeah, plenty of us talked like that in high school.
That doesn't make it funny, though. You can't just amp up the swearing, etc., and call it a day. Someone above said they've been making movies like this since Animal House...this movie (and Superbad and...) WISHES it was Animal House.
But then, don't they all? -
He's talking about a 90's movie called The Stoned Age. I remember the box art looking like a direct-to-video Dazed and Confused.
-
I saw Stoned Age years ago, and there was no National Lampoon in the title. The film, again...simply titled, Stoned Age featured Blue Oyster Cult's song Don't Feel The Reaper...and was done sometime in the 90s.
-
That was fucking pathetic and desperate. "Hey, dudes aged 18-34, we got vomit, bare backs, mentions of masturbation and monster trucks over here!
-
Is that the dude who keeps getting into arguments with his mom over wanting to use the new minutes instead of the rollover minutes on his wireless plan? I don't remember what wireless company it is, but I do remember thinking he was very good in that commercial.
-
Cant Buy Me Love? Really? That was better than Superbad? You mean the movie where they took a fucking Seventeen pin up model, and put buddy holly glasses on him making him a nerd, and then popped his collar to make him a stud? The movie about how great it is to be a whore? At least Risky Business, as flat and dull as large parts of it were, was competently made, unlike the shitty amateur hour of Cant Buy Me Love. Shit, if you'd mentioned some Hughes films or such, I'd let it slide. But all three of the films you picked were inferior to Superbad, in both laughs, and in honest representations of high school. By the way, even though Stoned Age fucking sucked, there was something oddly appealing about the locations and the feeling it was shot by a bunch of friends. Nice music too. The chick was hot aswell. A forgotten genre seems to be the troubled kids one. I guess Larry Clark dabbles in it, but more commercial entitites seem to shy away from Rivers Edge or Over The Edge style stuff. Havoc...I guess? That one where all the kids got together and fucked was lousy too.
-
I thought Stoned Aged was a rip on Dazed And Confused...a film that I have only saw scenes of, here and there...but, unlike what I saw of Dazed and Confused...which appeared boring...Stoned Age was a blast, it really is a classic film!!! I thought I was going to hate it when I caught it on cable, about 10 years ago...but I was like, "When the hell did this movie come out, and where was I when it did?" because I never heard of it before...and it was dead on late 70s...and truly a revelation as it is a funny, well acted, smartly cast, brilliantly written, and expertly directed and edited film. Again...it is a classic and smart sex/comedy/weed genre film. PS: Check-out the movie "3 'O Clock High" also. It is a film rumored to have been ghost directed, in part, by Steven Spielberg. The camera moves and editing are dazzling...and if I recall correctly, Barry Sonnenfeld was the DP. That is a really inspired film, and when you see such a film, and look at Superbad...you are instantly reminded just how very weak of a film...Superbad really is!!!
-
One of the best 80's movies out there and very inventive for its time. It doesn't get the attention it deserves.
-
Lose the monstronsity called Jonah Hill and you might get somewhere. Still, McLovin was fun
-
The films that I talked about started off with a teen sex comedy bend to them, save for Money Can't Buy Me Love, which is just a fun teen love comedy...but all of these films turned on a dime, and presented great substance in terms of heart, spirit and narrative. You could tell they were well written scripts, they were well thoughtout, and there were thinking writers, directors and producers behind them...but Superbad was just largely thrown together improve, riffed from a story outline standing in for a script...and cut together wherever the best improve scenes worked. That isn't a film, that is just a bunch of guys goofing around in front of a camera, even the Porkies films were better than that. Superbad's makers promised us, as viewers, the next generation of sex comedy, breaking societal taboos in respect to film ratings, well so much for that, I have seen episodes of The Simpsons that are more sexually provocative??? Talk about false advertisement???!!!! It has been how many years since Risky Business, Porky's, Fast Times At Ridgemount High, 3 'O Clock High, and Stoned Age...and these films are harder than Superbad in every respect to what was shown onscreen in terms of sex and depictions of teen lifestyle and drug use, etc.??? That makes you wanna say, "What the fuck???!!!"
-
My high school life wasn't like that, either. No friends, no girls, no fun.
And I fucking loved SUPERBAD. Though I could do without the guy pissing on the window (Maybe it's funnier in context. I don't know.), I'm certainly seeing this. -
Seriously, "Adventureland" has been an area of Disneyland and all other Disney theme parks going back to the 50's. Was there any attempt by Disney to stop the use of that title?
-
I know what you mean. While I'm not saying I never swore or made some crude remarks about sex, I was never "fucking, fuck, shit, fuck". Not many of my friends did either. I think one issue I do have with lotsa Apatow movies, I feel like there's some implication that the idea is, "It's just like me and my friends are!"But I'll get to another issue raised here. Too many movies similarly written with a similar theme get boring after a while. And maybe I'm just getting really old but isn't the "adults are just lame jerks ruining our fun who don't understand us" attitude one of the most immature attitudes ever? And these movies all seem to be aimed at adults.
-
how utterly inadequate and unfulfilling my youth was.
-
...just seems that way to me. But then, I'm old and went to high school in the 70's/80's crossover.
I fear for my children. -
Was more interesting because it was about the dopy fat guy rather than the nerdy guy who gets the girl and is real smart and all.
-
I'm so fucking in.
-
The kid pissing on the window-he's from those cell phone commercials, I wish he would piss on those people who wrote those shitty ads. Looks funny
-
SHIT
-
It's a generic name - a quick google will show you there are unrelated "Adventureland" theme parks, children's attractions, creches and suchlike all over the English-speaking world. Obviously, I'm wasting time at work, or I wouldn't be putting in the research time.
-
What life lesson will this movie bestow on me when it comes to an end 20min after it stopped being funny...
-
y'know, always dissin his mom while she's going batshit insane over how those little bottlecap minutes are still good.
-
But I'll be 60 my next birthday and I'm on this flick the minute it hits PPV or DVD. Fuck meaningful messages, heart, and spirit. Make me laugh so hard I piss my Depends!
-
Been really wanting to see the rollover kid in a movie. He has definite potential.
-
If you think 'The Stoned Age' is a more accurate representation of highschool in the mid-late 70's, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. 'Dazed and Confused' is not only spot-on with its portrayal of the period, it's a far superior film. 'The Stoned Age' is a poorly written, poorly acted piece of shit.
-

this is not the first trailer to have "deception advertising"...
by jig98
it's got only one funny line in the end and that's "jack off in your face". everything else is just rehashed and stupid. i'm still seeing it because of who is directing, who is in it, and what it's about. i think it's a terrible release date because it's sandwiched with hello dolly and i love you man. two other similar films that i think will either be surprise hits or spring blockbusters with monsters vs aliens and fast and furious. but nonetheless, superbad is a modern comedy classic that fits in the same league as anchorman and the strip.
-
He just seems a little cold and distant to me. At least, that's what he seemed like in "The Squid and The Whale". He has a smugness to him. Unlike, say, Michael Cera or the great Wiley Wiggins. You just wanted to hug them and tell them it was going to be ok. You could identify with them, even if you didn't happen to be that kid in high school. Not sure this kid has that same quality.
-
Man, some ppl were picked on way too much in highschool. This movie looks good, and those of you who don't think so, well guess what? You don't have to watch it. We'll all enjoy it and you'll be in the minority of ppl who were picked on too much in highschool so the movie does appeal to you. Sorry.
-
does NOT appeal to you. **
-
Dazed and Confused is the best one of the 90s. Incidentally, Stoned Age comes in at number 986. Right after Private Resort.
-
Andventureland has been an amusement park on Long Island's Route 110 since the early 60's.
-
Is that even possible? I didn't laugh once at this. The whole "look at our not-filthy filthy movie" angle is incredibly stupid.
-
Nowhere else to post this - http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20090226/en_movies_eo/101747
-
Clearly, that's why they put the red band trailer together the way they did. "Look kids, it's filthy, just like Superbad". Trouble is, Superbad was, at heart, a touching story about friendship. It just happened to have a lot of dick jokes in it. But you take away the heart and you're left with an entire movie following the cops around on their wacky hijinks.
-
like it says
-
I'm so there to see this movie.
-
People are reacting to this as if it was purely meant to be a comedy film. Every review of it thusfar points out that it's a humorous coming of age film, not necessarily a laugh out loud comedy. You wouldn't watch Ghost World and expect belly-laughs.

That would be "Don't FEAR the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. Not feel. Also, you should consider drinking. It can be fun.
-
same ol' schtick every movie. he grows tiresome w/ each and every veiwing. agreed though, i do have some love for "the stoned age". i remember seeing that waaaay back when once night on cinemax. almost as good as dazed and confused.
-
and that has been a book held close and dear to my heart for years. i had the original hard back copy w/ the lit fuse and bomb on the cover. lost that. bought the generic hard back and lent it to people. lost both. then a girl friend of mine got me the signed copy with all the cut out stuff and that is pure gold. no one gets to borrow that one! if they could make a great movie out of that it would be the ULTIMATE coming of age movie, but alas, that are gonna butcher it into some shit fest movie - leave all the great stuff out to squeeze it into 90 minutes. ugh. then, while talking the book up, people are gonna "what the fuck dude?" when they see the flick cause they're too lazy to read the book - and it's laugh out loud funny every damn page!

If you think Superbad sucked, you've obviously never had a frien
by garbageman33
Not a real friend anyway. I think that captured male friendship in a way that few films have, before or since. Much like Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a smart examination of a breakup. They both get slagged for not being knee slappingly hilarious. But I'll gladly give up a few laughs for some genuine sentimentality. As opposed to the fake sentimentality of Pineapple Express.
-
Nothing funny or interesting about this. And fuck Kristen Wiig, she is not funny, aside from KNOCKED UP.
-
I mean really now, drinking, drugs.. Isn't that a hiring requirement for a Six Flags park employee? =) 2 15 min bakes with a 30 min snack time... I feel safer now. Kennywood is a cool park tho.
-
Need I say more?
-
I mean, you have to submit your age to 'prove' you're mature, and then they award your maturity with a bunch of "fucks", "beer", "piss" and hints at 'sex' (sex is never sex in Hollywoodized America). Seriously, how dumb is the audience they're trying to reach?
-
since obviously they're going for the eleven year olds wanting to see some tits.
Go see some Porky instead if you're just into high school humor, but actually DO get to see some fucking nipples! -
But of course I'm not the target audience - 13 to 28 year old boys are. Hm. At least the Harold and Kumar movies had a modicum of wit (AND the fabulous NPH) - this seems like subpar Apatow (damn him), which is what I guess we'll be drowning in from now on. I only wish Bill Hader would pick better roles. Jesus.

Really? This looks better to me than "Porkys" or "Fired Up".
by the reluctant austinite
At least I think it has a chance to better than those types of movies, and I'm not a fan of or ever have been a fan or those types of movies. I think this particular RedBand trailer is cerainly selling the "Kevin Smith dialog" and baser aspects of the film to that audience, but based on what I see as the heart of the story, I believe this could be better than that. This is both a coming of age story and a lost summer story, and if the film works on the bittersweet level of dramedy that I think were its original intentions, this might be better than the average tits and dicks joke teen movie. The park kind of represents the adventure of that time in life after college where you realize that things aren't like you thought they would be, and it's going to be tougher than you imagined, but that's when you become the person you're going to be for the rest of your life. The games and rides are symbolic of the journey, and even the games vs rides thing is a microcosm of society. Look, it may end up just the "Porky's"/"Fraternity Vacation"/"Spring Break" piece of junk you all seem to think it's going to be, but I'm holding out hope for something better.
-
please just stop pontificating. No one cares.
-
If your a fag lol best line ever.stoned age also produced clifton collins who's a great actor
-
MY fiance used to work at adventureland and she said alot of what the management says in this movie is actually true lol.
I really think they should have filmed it at the actual park . yes its not the same but it didnt change that much. -

also adventureland has been on long island since the 60's (the adventureland that they refer to in the movie) so if it was allowed to use the name in the 60's its allowed to use the name now.
-
but will do just fine for all the douchebags that want to look cool by proclaiming this steaming turd to be a great movie...
-
It totally has a 21st style of humor.
-
WDVE, Pirates and The jackrabbit.
-
Not that I don't like the guy. In fact I think he's actually pretty funny. I'm just getting sick of seeing him every two months. It doesn't help that its the same schtick every time either. Plus, he's gettnig fatter with each performance. Sorry there's a difference between funny fat and John Goodman fat. Its actually really disconcerting when you're not evene 30.
-
...or you wouldn't have written me. Face it, you love The Stoned Aged, O' Clock High, Risky Business...and the rest of the movies that I recommended...and if you don't, you haven't seen them before...but your opinion will change after you do see them. Enjoy!!!
-
Feb 26, 2009 5:27:45 PM CST
I actually don't like Real Genius or Risky Business...
by whinynegativebitch
...They were the teen movies of the 80's that put me to sleep, because they weren't teen movies. They were generic rom coms that happened to be set in the high school world. I mean, Hughes is still the king, but I had a weird thing for Savage Steven Holland too. Your bizare pimping of The Stoned Age is...funny and disturbing. Its a cheap and lazy rip off of Dazed and Confused, only very badly written, directed and acted.
-
.. but the problem I have with rd band trailer is that I think, why bother? I meean why go to the movie when in 4 months they are gonna come out with an unrated version on dvd? I mean if you are gonna do a sex comedy then show gthe sex and say something about it. I have always wanted to work in fil and though I've had a couple of my pieces peoduced on stage, never sold a script. But I grew upin the 70's and I hace a coupleof youth comedies I wrote back then. Read them recently, Believe me, Judd Apatow is not exagerating. We talked like that back then. Dazed and Confused is close.
-
O' Clock High or The Stoned Age. You can't hate them all, Whiny Negative Bitch. In fact you might just wind up loving them...and agreeing with me.
-
You said that there was something "disturbing" in relation to my recommending The Stoned Age? There is nothing disturbing about that movie? Now, whether it is a rip-off of Dazed And Confuzed is up for debate...but Superbad is a rip-off of every teen fun sex comedy from the 80s...all mesh-mashed together in one pot, and not as good. I wouldn't call it "disturbing", I'll leave that kind of amazingly over the top, and grandiose hyperbole to you, I just found Superbad to be a pedestrian bait and switch. The filmmakers behind that film, and the studio, promised us a groundbreaking teen sex romp that would push the limits of hard R rating to new heights--well, they lied, and that is my point???!!! Superbad is barely dirtier than an episode of Saved By The Bell???

Drugs? Drinking? Sex? Sweary words? WOW! SIGN ME UP!
Give me a fucking break. Is the film not enough that they have to promote it to losers who find all that just unmissable? Im from Glasgow, i get to see that shit on a walk through the park on a weekday. -
is he from NY?
i know this was shot in Pennsylvania and everything but this has to be based on the Adventureland thats in Long Island, NY.. -
u right about The Stoned Age, i remember it now.. mostly i remember the D&C ripoff poster but never saw the actual flick. but i shall soon change that, as it is available for Instant Play on Netflix.
-
This movie looks like a motherfucking borefest. Curses,tits, and weed does not make a movie funny. Sadly, since my girlfriend loves all these movies, I might have to smoke some weed before watching the shit. I did not hear one funny line in that bullshit ass "red band" trailer.
-
dont you get that this isnt a normal trailer, its the first redband trailer that actually just clumps together all the raunchy parts without even bothering to try being like a normal trailer edit. it may seem sloppy it's just a joke. not a real trailer representing the movie.. go watch the old trailer.
-
I spent my whole childhood getting my ass beaten by my mom for sneaking and watching movies like Revenge of the Nerds, Cheech and Chong, Raw, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, and Porky's. I swore in a bed of tears and a sore ass that when I got older I would watch and enjoy all the funny, filthy, and violent movies I wanted and all that is offered is this bullshit!!! Bullshit!! Fuck all yall corny, bitch ass, balls neutered film makers!!!
-
The normal trailer is just as stupid as the red band...
-
..since i'm pretty sure it's based on the adventureland of my younger years, and in the late 80's which is when i went there a lot.. so the nostalgia factor might be blinding me into liking this.
-
Superbad was a rare movie that actually lived up to and EXCEEDED the hype. and you all loved it! now, because it was popular, and it's creators are making (wait for it) ANOTHER MOVIE, you have to hate it.as predictable as the tides, you all are...
-
You seemed to be painting with a rather large brush it seems. it looks like to me YOU loved the movie which is fine, opinions vary. Others might not have cared for it that much, like me for instances.
-
I'm hard to please as a film viewer, and when I saw the movie, I just wanted to run out and grab people and have them sit and watch it with me. The film really got to me!!! You know like the first time in life, when you really felt independent, interested in the opposite sex, and alive (???)--it captured that feeling!!!
-
I'm not making a value judgment on the movie, just saying that all the talkbackers loved it when it first came out, now they hate it because it's cool to do so.
-
A great movie? "Expertly" directed? HAHAHAHA. Wow. MediaMessiah, of the myriad of dumbfuck things you've ever posted in Talkbacks, your praise of The Stoned Age is near the top of the heap. What a horrible, horrible piece of shit. My friend pulled that up on Netflix's Instant Viewing a couple of months ago, and within 15 minutes, I recognized what an awful experience I was in for.

Oceanic86: Perhaps You Saw The Similarly Titled Film???
by media messiah
Someone posted that there is a film with a similar title called National Lampoon's Stoned Age from 2007 or 2008, perhaps that is the film that you saw? The film that I saw...from the 90's, The Stoned Aged, was really, really, cool.
