Very blah

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2007)

This movie pulls in too many directions and tries to say too many things, I'm not sure what exactly Judd Apatow was trying to say. Most of the jokes were good for a light chuckle, but I don't think they got any guffaws from me. Leslie Mann was great, as was Katherine Heigel. The main problem was I just didn't care much for any of the characters. It was also distracting the sheer number of current and former Apatow/NBCUniversal performers they crammed into this (40-Year-Old Virgin, Freaks & Geeks, SNL, the Office, etc.). I love, LOVE Kristen Wiig ever since her Joe Schmo days, but I just wasn't feeling it with her role. I really didn't need to see Seth Rogen's butt, or Jason Segel's butt. At least 30 minutes needed to be cut from the final product. Just go watch There's Something About Mary for the umpteenth time instead.
