Judd Apatow + Seth Rogen: A Recipe for Laughlessness

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2009)

Rule: if you have to be stoned to enjoy a given movie, then the movie is not a good movie. It is a bad movie.
Rule: if either Judd Apatow or Seth Rogen has anything to do with a movie, then the movie is not a good movie. It is a bad movie.
Rule: if Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow are both involved with a movie, you will need more than drugs to enjoy the movie. You will have to be in prison, or mentally disabled, or never have seen a movie before and simply be enamored with the novelty of the medium, to enjoy the movie. Because it is a bad movie.
Rule: if I ever again intentionally watch a movie with which Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, or any combination or permutation of the above are associated, up to and including any movie in which Leslie Mann appears, I will give up my right to a valid opinion about anything. Because I will be stupid.
(Addendum: this last rule does not extend to movies featuring Paul Rudd or Kirsten Wiig and not otherwise associated with Judd Apatow. Because they are good, while he is evil. A nice guy, maybe, but still destroying an entire culture's ability to tell funny from idiotic. Which is bad.)
