Superbad (2007)

The movie was golden until the cops came on the scene. At that point, we veered from laugh-out-loud funny into Police Academy not-funny.

The dick drawing story, the home econonomics cooking class, and even the initial reaction to the McLovin ID were all sweetly and raunchily funny, but still in a recognizable and somewhat believable way. Once the law gets into the mix it just gets lazy and obvious and when it did manage to be funny, it felt more like a happy accident than by design.

For the record: period on the pant leg = funny. No, I'm not proud.
