Great Movie--Hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2005)

This is a great, laugh out loud, roll on the floor, comedy. Steve Carrell is as good as many others are saying. Catherine Keener is superb as a believable love interest with her own excellent comedic sense. The rest of the cast, too, is very funny, each taking a turn.
The overall "sweetness" of the mood of the movie is remarkable. It never seemed cloying to me, which I would have though was an impossibility in a movie, which is pretty darn raunchy in places. It is amazing that the jokes in this movie are largely not at someone's expense, and that the story is largely one of love conquers all, and the importance of friendship and human connections.
But the important thing is that this movie is just plain deadly funny. Kudos!
