Hilarious film with an Apatow feel

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2009)

I thought that the film was hilarious from start to finish. It had a Judd Apatow tone to the film, too (40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express). Paul Rudd is an under-credited actor. I also thought he was hilarious in Role Models, and really made both of these films enjoyable. Jason Segel is an upcoming actor, too, with a charismatic and energetic presence on screen. I read a comment on this film earlier that was bashing the film because Jason Segel is overweight and out of shape. Really?? Does body appearance make a comedy film? NO! Look at Seth Rogen. He's hilariously funny in ANY movie he makes and he's about 50 pounds overweight. I just feel that this movie is a must-see for comedy lovers (like me). Just as good, if not better, than Knocked Up or Pineapple Express. Last thing, I don't understand the R rating though. They do have the occasional F bomb (maybe 3 or 4), but overall, I thought the humor was pretty tame.
