A little better than Knocked Up

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2008)

... but I still can't give it more than 6 stars.
*Some* nicely observed comedy situations, *some* amusing dialogue but still hamstrung by that Apatow lack of believability. My wife leaned over to me halfway through and said 'this is a terrible movie!", which I think is a little harsh, but I could see why she said it; too many obvious set-ups, too much stilted dialogue causing cringe-worthy moments, because it just didn't ring true. I think that these film makers may one day make some really good comedies, because there are flashes of hilarity, but one is left wondering what's happened to the really smart comic film makers?
For my money, a movie with more willies than breasts is also to be avoided.
