Superbad has an unusually personal origin: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg began writing the story when they were only about 13 years old, drawing heavily from their own teenage experiences and friendship. The script then evolved for years before becoming the 2007 movie.
The movie was also an important early showcase for Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Emma Stone, several of whom went on to become major Hollywood stars. Christopher Mintz-Plasse was still a high-school senior when he played McLovin.
Another unusual detail is that Bill Hader based Officer Slater partly on a real police officer who had arrested Hader when he was younger after a prank went wrong.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s audition was memorable enough that the filmmakers kept him, even though Jonah Hill initially didn’t particularly want him in the role. The contrast between the characters’ personalities ultimately became one of the movie’s biggest comedic strengths.
