GENUINE laugh out loud success

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2010)

This is probably the funniest film from the "new generation" mentality and pisses off every film school student here because it succeeds as a non stop, side splitting "goofing" comedy. I had never heard of the star, Seth Rogan and avoided the film for weeks on my satellite movie listings. Quite simply,well written (hilarious dialogue and interplay by a really well cast group of fantastic actors. James Franco does the best pot head and is totally different from Brad Pitt's wonderful portrayal. This is real comedic timing done with a straight face by Franco, who also manages to exude a lovable hippie maintaining his Jimmy Dean charisma. Rosie Perez is a natural comedienne and good actress and a great bad girl.I never have liked Ed Begley Jr. so much because he is strong and authoritative with great timing. The writing is really non TV and the whole thing moves with outrageous situations, and all this with masses of gun play for a comedy. It is the best comedy I have seen this year.
