But now, they are about to graduate from high school and enter a different university to continue a new life. Both of them coincidentally feel unreasonable panic about the days without each other.
Seth was a weird man, a little fat, thinking all day long, and often put his ideas into action, and vowed not to give up if he didn't get mad.

At this time, Mike Craven joined the ranks of Seth and Evan-in fact his real name was Fogel, and "Mike Craven" was the name on his fake ID, which was said to be a 25 An organ donor who is from Hawaii at the age of...Fogell has a disgusting nature. Not only does he lack social experience, his EQ is basically zero, so he chose a fake ID like "Mike Craven". Stupid name. They all want to participate in the prom, the reason is very simple, because they each have a girl they like, Seth looks at Jules, the organizer of the prom; Evan looks at Beka, the girl who takes math class with him; As for Fergel, she chose Nicola, because her irritating dress made Fergel's words difficult to speak smoothly. However, it is impossible for the Goddess of Luck to stand in the same place forever.

Behind-the-scenes production:
[The new force of comedy movies]
Judd Apto’s name spans film and television industries and has achieved extraordinary successes. He is the screenwriter and director of the well-received comedies "Bad Belly" and "Forty-Year-Old Virgin"; he is also a hit for "Nights of Talladega: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Ace Broadcasting". He was the producer of "The Member"...and he was also the founder of a series of acclaimed TV series "Freaks" and "Undeclared" (Undeclared). It is precisely because Apato brings equal romance and elegance to these stories that it has received unanimous praise in the industry, and this film "Too bad", which is also produced by Apato, is no exception. It is told here. Is a cautionary story about "coming up".
The film is directed by Greg Mottola and co-written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg-they have been Judd Apato’s partners for many years. Especially Logan. The first collaboration between the two people can be traced back to "Freaks." Logan played a role in this series...Soon, he will be with his best friend Goldenberg The first script created together was handed over to Apato to see if it could be used as a sample of writing. Apato left a very deep impression on the story told in the script. He still remembered that the name of the script was "Too Bad".
"Too bad" was eventually bought by Columbia Corporation. In stark contrast to this result, the story in the film originally started in a place that seemed the most unreliable-the cranky thinking of two high school students. middle. Seth Logan and Evan Goldenberg, who were only 14 years old at the time, felt that the details were not particularly accurate after watching several films depicting high school life in succession... So the two of them wanted to try it on their own. To give it a try, Logan said: "We decided to start with a method that is rarely used in the movie, which is to start from the imagination of two desperate and reckless high school students." Indeed, they have no reason not to do so. After all, many young writers always get similar advice when creating their debut work, that is, "write something you know".
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldenberg wrote a story about themselves and the people around them, and then named two of them after their own names-Seth and Evan. The whole story seems to be They are sharing some of the things they have experienced together. Jonah Hill, who played Seth in the film, said: “Everything happened on the same night, and the mistakes contained other mistakes, and then they got bigger and bigger.” As for the other main actor, Christopher. Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) just graduated from Los Angeles high school, this is his big screen debut, and for such a film, I believe that Metz-Plasse is the most say: "I am Everything described in the story is really familiar, because I just came out of that kind of life. However, I have never been detained by the police. The details about the dance party and the boy always trying to attract the girl’s attention in the film are too vivid I believe that everyone who has lived in high school will feel the same way."
And Michael Serra, who played Evan, was the most famous character in the TV series "Development Blocked." He said: ""Too bad" does not have what you usually see in movies. The description of the high school campus that I arrived, because this is not just composed of athletes and losers. You may not date beautiful girls, but you know them, you will greet them, and then become their short-term friends... …Because you can never be the object of their liking."
[Small stories also have big things] After the
script was completed, it was put on the shelf. A few years later, Seth Rogen came to Los Angeles from Canada and soon became Jia A fierce general under De Apato... the screenwriter and actor described: "As time goes on, I begin to understand that I may not be able to graduate from high school. Because I was in dire need of money at that time, I cheered up. Spirit, I decided to try this business, which is why I went to audition for "Freaks"." Logan finally got the role as he wished, and when the TV series ended, he became the underwriter of Apato. The actors and screenwriters in a TV series "Adult Tutorial".
It was during this process that Seth Logan showed the screenplay that had been in dust for N years and showed it to producer Judd Apto. Apto said: "When filming "Adult Tutorial", Logan told me Say,'I created a script with my Canadian buddy called "Too bad". Do you want to read it?' After reading it, I think the story described in it is very essential to other comedies. Difference." Apato seized the opportunity to guide two young screenwriters who were still a little immature at the time, and began to revise the script. He believed: "From the content, "Too bad" is about two stagnant teenagers. The story of how to continue to live, they are afraid to enter different universities, because that would mean their first separation. I believe there is nothing more painful than separating from your high school friends, but it represents the necessity for your growth. After the process."
Once you decide to bring this story to the big screen, finding a suitable director becomes the eternal "first step", Judd Apto said: "Greg Mottola once directed "Adults" In the 5 units of "Tutorial", he can always be the person we are most willing to work with him. After these years, I have been looking for an opportunity to work with him, so he naturally became what I thought of The first person to choose.”
In fact, Greg Mottola was very familiar with the script at one time: “I read this story two years ago, and what I like most about it is the humor of behavior-- Instead of letting the characters simply tell jokes. A lot of the content in it directly reflects some of the mental states of the teenagers, plus all the stories in the script happened on the same night, which became another reason that attracted me. "
Facts:
· Two screenwriters, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldenberg, started writing this script when they were 14 years old. The reason is simple: "I want to see if I can actually write a movie." ".
