Ugh, I hated the Superbad-era "coming of age means grossouts, body shaming, kiddie creeping cinematography, misogyny, and le sexy sex" so much.

Yeah Animal House did that shit decades before that, but the resurgence lingered on and on.

Id like to nominate "there's Something About Mary" which beats out "American pie" by a year as a possible resurgence point.
