seemed mildly amusing, but pretty dumb

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2008)

To be fair, I only watched about a half an hour or so of this, so maybe it gets really funny afterward. I stuck with it even though a friend had told me it wasn't especially funny because other people claim it is, but I just lost hope that it was ever going to be more than fitfully amusing.
I also thought the plot and the direction the movie appeared to be going was ludicrous. My friend tells me all my fears were confirmed, as she watched it all, so I feel justified in having bailed on the thing.
Director Apatow did 40 Year-Old Virgin and was involved with Freaks and Geeks, so he's clearly a talented guy, but in spite of its success this one looks like a mild misfire.
