Two weeks before graduation, Jules invites Seth to a party at her house that evening, and by extension Evan. The two are Nevada high school seniors and friends since childhood, and their plan to room together at college has collapsed: Seth was not accepted to Dartmouth, while Evan will attend and share a room with their friend Fogell. Fogell is having a fake ID made, so Seth offers to buy the party's alcohol with Jules' money. Seth treats the drinks as the way he and Evan can lose their virginities that night, Seth with Jules and Evan with Becca, who likes him.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Superbad (2007)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Rogen and Goldberg wrote the script during their own teenage years, loosely basing it on their experience in Grade 12 at Point Grey Secondary School in Vancouver during the 1990s. The main characters have the same given names as the two writers.
- Rogen was initially intended to play Seth, but because of his age and physical size this was changed: Hill went on to portray Seth, while Rogen played the irresponsible Officer Michaels opposite Saturday Night Live star Hader as Officer Slater.
- Christopher Mintz-Plasse was 17 at the time of filming, and as a result his mother was required to be present on set during the filming of his sex scene.
- The special edition DVD sparked controversy in Hawaii because it included a replica of the fake McLovin ID used in the film, which heavily resembled the state's real driver's license; Walmart removed it from the shelves in the state.
- According to an interview at an event panel in 2009, the character Fogell was also a real friend of Rogen and Goldberg.
