This wasn't as superfunny as I'd been led to believe, but it wasn't all bad, either. Michael Cera (Arrested Development) was his usual great self, but Jonah Hill's character quickly became irritating. - T

Despite the title, it wasn't superbad, but it wasn't supergood, either. If I had read the plot keywords from IMBD (Cocaine / Cleavage / Spit / Internet Porn) before seeing the picture, instead of just the TV trailers, I might have had a more accurate picture of what I was getting into. It did have funny parts and I loved Michael Cera. SPOILER: Although the nice guy and girl end up with the right gal and guy, it almost seemed like guy-love would triumph in the end. - A

This is a funny movie. Gérard Depardieu (Surprise! A French movie starring G.D. !!) does a great job in his role, and Daniel Auteuil is always entertaining. It's the second time I've seen it, and it holds up well. Also, the film is important in that it documents the cutest kitten ever. - T

Vive Francois Pignon (and his creator, Francis Veber)! A very funny movie even if you usually don't like French movies. M. Depardieu does a g.d. good job in this role. And we're not getting another cat, no matter how cute it is. - A

I watched this with my Dad because we had both recently read the book. The book was formulaic, contrived, and unconvincing. The movie was worse. - A

Except for all the gross baby stuff, this was a pretty funny movie. - T

Enjoyable. Good supporting cast. I liked Ben's friend Jay in the movie, played by Jay Baruchel, especially in the "pink eye" scene. Another friend, Jason, was also appealingly and amusingly odd. The storyline was inspirational - if only I had known when I was younger that it was that easy to meet and marry Mr. Right! - A
