CAFE Blu-ray say:
Our favorite of the feature-length Python films! Absolute classic.

On a Midnight Clear 2000 years ago, three wise men enter a manger where a babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes. It is an infant called Brian…and the three wise men are in the wrong manger. For the rest of his life, Brian (Graham Chapman) finds himself regarded as something of a Messiah, yet he’s always in the shadow of this Other Guy from Galilee. Brian is witness to the Sermon of the Mount, but his seat is in such a bad location that he can’t hear any of it (”Blessed are the cheesemakers?”). Ultimately he is brought before Pontius Pilate and sentenced to crucifixion, which takes place at that crowded, non-exclusive execution site a few blocks shy of Calvary. Rather than utter the Last Six Words, Brian leads his fellow crucifixees in a spirited rendition of a British music hall cheer-up song “Always Look On The Bright Side of Life.” The whole Monty Python gang (Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam) are on hand in multiple roles, playing such sacred characters as Stan Called Loretta, Deadly Dirk, Casts the First Stone, and Intensely Dull Youth; also showing up are Goon Show veteran Spike Milligan and a Liverpool musician named George Harrison.

CAFE Blu-ray says: Without a doubt, “Superbad” is THE funniest movie to come out the past several years. Tons of funny, mostly realistic, high school humor, but this movie also has heart. Also, killer music, mostly original, from Bootsy Collins and a bunch of old school funksters. HIGHLY recommended.

Columbia Pictures Superbad (Blu-ray) (Unrated Extended Edition)
From the guy who brought you “Knocked Up” and “The40-Year-Old Virgin” comes “Superbad.” Seth (JonahHill) and Evan (Michael Cera) want nothing more than to lose their virginity before they head off to college. To do that, though, they need to get liquor for the big party that night. With the help of their friend Fogell, a.k.a. McLovin (ChristopherMintz-Plasse), and his fake I.D., the three of them go on a hilarious chase for that elusive booze,dodging incompetent cops (”Knocked Up’s” Seth Rogen and “Saturday Night Live’s” Bill Hader), angry neighbors and jealous boyfriends. Hailed as an “iconic comedy…a true classic of its times” (Pete Hammond, Maxim), ‘Superbad’ is a laugh-out-loud masterpiece!”.
