Critics Review
“I loved this book. A fantastically in-depth, entertaining look at the making of one of my favorite comedies. Andrew makes you feel like you were there. One of the best books about moviemakingI have ever read, and I have read at least three.”
– Brian Lynch, screenwriter of Minions and The Secret Life of Pets“Andrew Buss has crafted a delightful peek-behind-the-scenes of one of the great comedies of the twenty-first century. This is a must-read for anyone who loves raucous coming-of-age movies and wishes Hollywood made more of them.” – Dave and John Chernin, writers for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia“Superbad understood high school better than any other teen comedy. Reliving the movie through Andrew’s hilarious book brought me right back to senior year, when life always seemed to be seesawing between transcendent silliness and self-consciousness.” – Alan Siegel, writer for The RingerAbout The Author
