The replacement for Kevin Smith...

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2006)

Well, the title prophesies what we're gonna watch, doesn't it? For those who miss the early years of Kevin Smith or the Farrelly brothers here comes Judd Apatow to take over from them all after an intense career as a scriptwriter. Loose laughing at Steve Carell's character expenses: the pathetic existence of a 40 years old dude that hasn't ever had sex and that fills his life with video games, internet, an iron discipline... but at the end of the day sex is always knocking' at the door. 40 years, Jesus Christ!!
Maybe the weak points of the movie are its excessive length (more than 2 hours for a comedy doesn't sounds very nice) and the flirting with the romantic comedy at the end. Without that it would be a perfect comedy, so rowdy and foul-mouthed. At least is one of the most funny ones that I've watched lately.
*My rate: 8/10
