I'm not really a movies guy but I liked Superbad; give me some movies like that; antics, love interests, quirky humor. Thanks Feds!

Pineapple Express
Hangover movies
Knocked up
Project X

Not the best of tips, but that’s what I was thinking off

Napoleon Dynamite is like if Superbad was nothing but that scene of Michael Cera singing "These Eyes" by The Guess Who. Just 100% cringe, awkward interactions between the main characters. Like an inside joke that literally nobody is meant to get, even the people "in" on the joke.

Honorable mentions: Nacho Libre (similar in its randomness), Wayne's World (a classic) and Road Trip (similar to Superbad in its frat humor).

Wet hot American summer have me both Superbad and Napoleon Dynamite vibes. It is likewise unexpectedly heartfelt, while being satirical about anything and everything.

I really liked the film Booksmart, which is kind of like a genderswapped Superbad, definitely worth a watch.

It might not be that similar but I remember after I watched superbad I watched Eurotrip. The movie might've not aged as well as I remember though, I last say it when I was 15 and thought it was hilarious.

Still quote some stuff to this day

Role Models is in the Superbad neighborhood and filled with all-time quotables.

I have no shame admitting I liked this film, the only other alike that I have watched is Project X, definitely gonna save this post to check out others lol.

To me, Superbad falls under the “one night in high school” genre.

American Graffiti Dazed and Confused Can’t Hardly Wait Booksmart
