Judd Apatow needs more female insights to his movies.

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2012)

One of my main problems with this movie is that the cast thinks that they're so effing funny. Half of the film consists of the guys laughing at their own jokes, and they are kinda funny, but I don't need to be prompted to laugh every three minutes. Moving past that, it's a really funny movie. I don't usually like Katherine Heigl, but she's good in this role, and she works well with Seth Rogen. All of the minor characters, from Ken Jeong to Bill Hader to Kristen Wiig are wonderful. (And Craig Robinson just breaks my heart.) Another issue I have is that the movie's synopsis completely ignores Heigl's character and instead makes the movie about Seth Rogen. This is wrong, because the movie is about the two of them equally (well, maybe 60% Rogen / 40% Heigl). I don't think I'd call it "sexist" like Katherine Heigl has, but it's incorrectly marketed, and that's just as bad to me.
