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.
