• Quotes

  "It's more of a drama than Superbad; you could say it's a dark comedy drama. In the cast, we have a couple of SNL members and also that group of crack Superbad actors. I think it will be really funny yet be grounded by the actual story of a kid finding love for the first time."—Kristen Stewart, love interest in filmIGN: Star Kristen Stewart Discsses Forthcoming Comedy (December 21, 2007)
