They just keep coming...

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2009)

I love the fact that so much comedy that had a cult following but not a ton of distribution back in the 90s (the State, Freaks and Geeks, Wet Hot American Summer) has produced actors/writers that are now mainstream. This film follows in the footsteps of recent comedies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Role Models, and Knocked Up, that all incorporate amazing casting and writing reminiscent of those cult classics. Even though this is NOT an Apatow production, it definitely feels like one. I particularly liked Thomas Lennon's role which is small but delivers some of the funniest lines in the film. About half the movie is full of some of the most awkward on-screen dialog ever, as Paul Rudd's character tries WAY too hard to be a cool guy... you aren't sure whether to laugh or cringe, but it's awesome to watch. This is going to be one of the big comedic hits of '09.
