Whether You Like This Movie Will Probably Depend On Your Age

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2007)

I saw this movie with a free movie pass the week before it was released to theaters and let's just say I am glad I did not have to pay to see it. I thought it was okay, not bad, not good, but sort of in the middle, hence the 5/10 rating. What I thought was funny is that all of the: "This movie is Spectacular" "The Best Comedy in Years" reviews were all coming from guys below the age of 30 or at least 35. While I must admit I am not a fan of the "Crude Dude" male humor we see in movies year after year I can usually put up with it. Is it me or is it a new trend in movies that men cannot be funny or comical unless they are making raunchy sex jokes, getting wasted and looking like complete buffoons? I can get into that kind of humor, but I am afraid this is Judd Apatows niche and sooner or later it will get old. The one thing I didn't like about this movie is that the women were made to seem like they had it together while the men were the ones with the problems. Maybe I just have a more dry sense of humor after all my favorite comedies tend to be more "Young Frankenstein" and "Spinal Tap".
