Supercool: Una Noche de Locura

Compared to some of the high budget films, I enjoyed this movie. Did a good job of releasing me from my day to day stress by bringing a lots of smiles.

Overall the team has done a great job.

If you love "Free Guy"... You will love this.

This was a pretty good story tho nothing really unique. The acting was subpar, but the casting is what made it impossible to pull off; I mean, the geeky guy who gets to be supercool should be a lot geekier and less good looking than the Super Cool guy he becomes, right? So that didn't work for me and, in general, the dialog tries too hard to be funny with crudetalk but falls flat. If this is a student film it's a great effort but I don't think it makes pro standards.

Tried it out based solely on the actors on the advertisement. But the first 5 minutes were unbearably bad.

It may be just that it is for a much younger audience, but then that doesn't account for the crass nature and language.

This movie is really quite good viewing. I enjoyed the story and the casting was great. It won't make you laugh so much as just enjoy the adventure of a movie that from the title you may think is going to be a bit of a stupid film. The title reminded me of Superbad of course but it's a different movie. It's a bit like when Ace Ventura Pet Detective came out and I thought but butt... what about The Adventures of Ford Fairlane Rock'n'Roll detective, which I saw at the cinema and loved. To me Ace Ventura was bit like it was trying to be that movie but it turns out it's a different movie. OF course all movies are slightly different but in these four cases they are their own animals. This movie is pretty cool to watch.

Supercool reminds me a lot of Superbad (2007). It is a dirty teen buddy comedy about high schoolers trying to get laid by getting their hands on booze. In this regard both films are very similar, but that's where the similarities end. Supercool is a little more urban, the two teens are of different ethnic backgrounds, and the dynamic between them is also different from Superbad. In the case of Supercool on of the teens is very uptight but competent and the other one is a complete idiot. There is clearly a very strong bond between them but that is the only thing that's not clearly established. The filmmakers just make it seem as if the characters grew up together. I really liked this indie because they did something really far out with the dialogue - it is very slang-heavy. Some of it is real world slang and some of it was engineered for the film. This is not a movie you can just put in the background a follow along. You have to make sense of the slang in order to understand what's happening. If you stick around during the credits the filmmakers have a breakdown of every slang word used in the film and their meaning. I loved how original the dialogue was, the South Florida cinematography, and fast pacing. Would recommend if you liked Superbad.
