I'm hungry! Let's get some f'n french toast!!

Rating: 2/10 (9 April 2010)

A movie that could've been good with MAJOR changes.. Many of the main actors sucked and the fact that the story was about changing a person in order to make them presentable is a horrible concept.
This movie is about a man who is a bit of a geek, a single man with an average job who just happens to be a virgin, when his co-workers find out they make it their goal to get him some action. Most of them are the average "dudes" who get with the less than average women and are satisfied with that lifestyle.
Steve Correl is the star and his character is fine with the way things are, he's tried a few times in life to get some action but his dorky side won and the women ran out on him, he eventually meets a woman and she has kids and he find himself happy for once, but sex is still nothing he's too anxious about, his fear is in charge. Finally he starts to revolve his life around her and realizes he must change in order to keep her...As one would know before they even start watching the film, it's all gonna work out.
Does it really work out though? This man may be a geek, but no one should ever change for anyone, I mean you have to get yourself out there to get sex, but you don't have to lie or change who you are. By the time this movie is over he sells all of his collectibles and she has him starting his own business. Some people call it growing up, I consider it giving in. I hated that aspect of the movie, When you're a geek or a weirdo you're unique and original and lovable and special, and the aftermath of this movie would be that he's married, he has love but he also now has her kids, her life and a job which takes up his time and he will become boring miserable and pathetic like most married men are..they don't show you that part.. This movies message was a bad one.
Director Judd Apatow did an okay job here, he never impresses, but with this kind of movie no one pays any attention to anything other than acting and story. The story did have some funny moments, Judd himself helped with one of the funniest scenes as an Indian call support hotline voice when Andy calls to get rid of his erection.
Steve is a good actor, so far I have enjoyed his work and he was likable here as well. Jane Lynch did a good job as Paula and some of the other actors were good too. Kat Denning's playing Andy's girlfriends daughter, Jonah Hill as a customer at the We Sell Your Stuff On Ebay store and of course Gerry Bednob playing the old Indian worker at Andy's store was great.Then we have the crappy actors who shared so much screen time and ruined the movie; Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan. WOW does it get any worse than Seth Rogan, where did this horrible actor come from - I hate this guy!!! Paul Rudd, does ANYONE like him, wow what a waste.
Bottom line this movie could've been funny if they had changed so much of the story and not changed Andy, changing people sucks. Thats all Hollywood does is try to tell people they suck at being themselves, you can get laid without being just like everyone else. Also this movie needed some good acting..It had it's moments but I only give it 2 stars because I watched it in a theater and hated it and just watched the unrated DVD and it still didn't add anything great...Most people will like it because people will laugh at anything these days.
