Superbad

the main plot is about a party they hae to buy booze for but getting in trouble on tere way (fights,cops,homeless people, fake id)
Well imagine my surprise to find that the unrated version of this teen comedy contains as many laughs as it does #*@!*%!-ing language! Not bad, for a movie that's described on the commentary track as "a film with a lot of dick, but not a lot of heart.
I beg to differ. Seth ("Knocked Up") and Evan ("Arrested Development") are made for each other. Like the real Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, who began writing this script when they were 13, these two are inseparable because their sensibilities are so similar. But this is their last spring together, because in the fall Evan and their geeky third-wheel friend Fogel (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) are going to be roommates at Dartmouth, while Seth has to attend a state school. That's the poignant underpinning. But of course, guys being guys, there's just one "I love you, man" moment that seems patterned after a beer commercial. The rest of their time is spent cheerfully cursing, talking outrageously in public ("No one's gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'Nam") and trying to score so they can go to college with some experience.
The thing is, these guys aren't exactly social butterflies. The running gag is that no one ever sees them at parties, with the two of them saying how many other things are on their plates. Yeah, right. Fact is, they haven't been invited to a party, until just recently. And that invitation kind of comes with a catch. Seth promised he could score the alcohol for this underage bunch, because he has the hots for the hostess--a pretty girl he teamed up with in a home ec class, of all things. It was supposed to be a piece of cake, because Fogel just got a fake ID. Trouble is, he got an ID that said he was from Hawaii, and if that wasn't bad enough, this guy who looks 13 had them put 25 on his fake license, with a geeky photo ("You look like a future pedophile in this picture"), and he only used a single name: McLovin.
It goes from bad to superbad as McLovin gets clocked by a convenience-store robber when he's trying to buy the booze, which hooks him up with two of the most hilarious (and incompetent) cops since Barney Fife. Co-writer Seth Rogen and Bill Hader have some real "Saturday Night Live" fun with these characters, and as they take McLovin on calls with them, it just gets funnier and funnier. Through a series of mishaps, Evan and Seth, meanwhile, end up at an adult party, where Seth works on "plan B" to try to get the booze. Then we see Seth and Evan trying to score with their respective "hard-ons," with Jules (Emma Stone) the teetotaler and Becca (Martha MacIsaac) the out-of-control, "I wanna give him a blowjob" ready-to-puke drunk.
