It seems like every year there’s a movie trying to channel the vibe of “Superbad.”Reaching the heights of this 2007 comedy classic is a daunting task.

The film not only became a genre staple but also captured the essence of young adult life in the late 2000s perfectly.It launched the careers of Michael Cera and Jonah Hill and played a significant role in boosting Seth Rogen’s comedy career.

The latest R-Rated Netflix comedy has everything it takes to be seen as a modern-day “Superbad,” according to some fans.

It features young American students diving into a wild night of partying, complete with drugs, alcohol, and unexpected hijinks, all under a hard R-rating that lets the film push boundaries.It’s clear why some are drawing parallels between the two.

You might want to watch the trailer to see if you agree:

The film is titled “Incoming,” and it just premiered this past weekend on Netflix.

In just a short time, it has climbed to number five in the UK and number two globally on Netflix.

“Incoming” revolves around a group of incoming freshmen who snag an invite to their first high school party.

Remember, this is “Incoming,” not “Superbad.”

Critics didn’t exactly embrace the film—it has a lowly 14% on Rotten Tomatoes.

But that hasn’t deterred fans, who seem to understand that this type of movie doesn’t usually resonate with film critics.

One fan tweeted: “OMG I’m watching the new Netflix movie Incoming and it feels like I’m watching another Superbad movie. It’s funny and hilarious”

Another viewer shared: “My wife and I watched the new movie Incoming on Netflix. We went in with low expectations. Let me tell you.

“You should watch this movie. We were laughing so hard the entire time! I’d say that it’s a mix of Project X and Superbad. Absolutely hilarious! Honestly so good!”

Aside from the “Superbad” vibes, “Incoming” has also drawn comparisons to “Project X.”

Another fan commented: “Incoming was the wildest party movie since Project X!”

An IMDb review with an 8/10 rating faced the comparisons directly:

“I absolutely loved Superbad back in the days. This movie follows a similar formula and either the screenwriter was a fan of Superbad and wanted to pay homage or he just wanted to make something similar.

Fans were loving the film’s raunchy throwback nature.Netflix

“The characters are likable and it was one ‘party night’ I had fun with, which kinda reminded me of the good old days of, not only Superbad but stuff like Harold and Kumar, 21 and over or Take me Home Tonight.

“I wish studios would give us more of these types of movies, as I personally really miss them.”

You can stream “Incoming” on Netflix now.
