2) SUPERBAD

Greg Mottola is the director of the 2007 American coming-of-age teen buddy comedy Superbad. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play two teens, Seth and Evan, who are set to graduate from high school. The boys' plan to party and lose their virginity before graduating turns out to be more difficult than they anticipated. The script was written by Rogen and Goldberg while they were teenagers. Their Grade 12 experience at Vancouver's Point Grey Secondary School in the 1990s served as a loose basis for it. Both authors' given names are the same as those of the major characters. Rogen was originally supposed to play Seth as well, but this was modified because of his age and stature. Hill then played Seth, and Rogen played the careless Officer Michaels.
