It's called Entry-level for a reason...

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

When you think of the Frat Pack, you think of Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, more recently Steve Carrell and the Wilson brothers. Within the last 2 years, Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd have made names for themselves in this pack, but only as entry-levels. Steve Carrell was like that at one time, but his success has boomed lately, and there is no doubt. Well, they call it Entry-level for a reason.
Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen consider themselves pledges into the Frat Pack, and after seeing this, I can understand why they haven't been inducted yet. This movie, although not very original, was cute, and had about 9 big laughs. Other than that, it was very drawn out and goofy.
Despite some shots of birth and a heart to heart with some elderly ones in once scene, there is not a serious bone in this movie's body. It's not the writing, and it is not the directing, both were pretty well done, except I saw the boom Mic in one scene(it was an advanced screening so it will surely be edited out) but it's the star of the movie. Seth Rogen is a genius, don't get me wrong, but his looks should have been a cue that he wasn't made for the lead role. This part would have been great for Jonah, instead he looked like a glasses-less freak with one liners.
I would definitely recommend this movie, but only because it exhibits an occurrence that only occurs once in a great while, and that is "jumping the shark". This movie stopped being funny, and got a little cheesy towards the end, and trust me, the ending leaves me at "So, are they happy?" Go and see it for yourselves, many people will like this movie. But, if thought 40 Year Old Virgin was a classic in it's own right, you'll be disappointed with the lack of deliverance here...
