wish it was better

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2010)

I love Russell Brand, so I had high hopes for this movie. But I should have known that the 14-year-old boy comedy styling of Judd Apatow is just not my thing.
Russell Brand was great in the roll and there were a few laughs. But it was more gross than funny. Jonah Hill was not funny at all. Maybe Aziz Ansari should have had that part instead of a bit roll. Seriously, I'm sick of the delusion that the fat sloppy guys get hot girls. And I really didn't need to see any puke, let alone multiple puking scenes.
I get the "this is rock-n-roll" theme that was hammered home, over and over, but if I wanted that I could have watched 'Sid and Nancy.'
I'm sorry I paid to see this movie.
