Superbad–The Superbaddest?
What would you say if I told you that there was a project lurking in the depths of Hollywood, not so very long ago, that would have taken Michael Cera comedy vehicle Superbad and released it as a no-holds-barred action title with lots of gunplay and violence and beatings and explosions and everything that action film fans have come to expect from them?

Looks like Myers and company are going to have to come crawling to “Easy” Earl Dittman if they want a good quote for their box art. Strangely, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops seems to be rather…well…limp-wristed when it comes to issuing their strongest censure, dragging out choice lines like “vulgar and tasteless”, not to mention that it “wallows in endless penis jokes and fairly yucky potty humor.” Yucky potty humor? Who’s writing your copy, Mrs. Johnson’s first grade class down at Milquetoast Street Elementary? Seriously, if you’re going to lay into a film and give if your worst rating–for some reason theirs is apparently the letter O–give it some VENOM! Try “constant assault on basic human decency”! Try “utterly lacking in redeeming features”! Try throwing the word “ruination” or even bust out “hellbound”. You guys can do better than a seven year old’s linguistic shuffle and “yucky potty humor”! And it’s not even just the Catholics–the Jews are also throwing their lines in and they’re landing right upside The Love Guru’s head: 
I watched in horrified amazement as Carolyn Kirk, the mayor of Gloucester, began explaining that seventeen girls in her town got pregnant, all at the same time, while in the background, Geraldo “Chairface” Rivera declared it all some sort of “pact”.
