pretty lame....

Rating: 4/10 (21 April 2008)

I wanted to like it more than I did; I was let down. There are several funny jokes throughout (notably Tim Meadows character, and the Beatles skit), but most of the jokes were totally juvenile and lack any originality. Penises don't = funny; a five minute sexual innuendo song doesn't = funny. And the whole "cutting people in half with a machetti" isn't funny at all. I mean, who thinks this stuff is funny still? Its stupid!...and not in a good way.
I'm not a snob. I like most of Apatow's previous movies enough. I thought Taladega nights was funny. I love good comedies, but this isn't one of them.
Reilly does a fine job as the lead, he was just givin a crappy movie in which to showcase his abilities. Jenna Fisher is cute, but her character couldn't have been more boring.
I like stupid comedies usually, but this was just a mish-mash of joke after joke and the same vulgar routine we've seen in a lot of movies lately. NOTHING unique or original at all. It does feel like a long SNL sketch, as i've heard mentioned. Sure, you'll laugh a few times, but that doesn't make it a good movie.
It not horrible or anything, but its typical run-of-the-mill comedic trainwreck that you don't give two squirts of pee about an hour after watching it. Its disposable, cookie-cutter humor. There are just too many of those types of movies for them to stand out amongst the crowd. If this movie had been made 15 years ago, it would have been much better.
P.S. I think people give Judd Apatow WAY too much credit. His movies are funny enough, but give it a rest people. He doesn't do much more than sex jokes, drug jokes, and clueless people jokes, and then he sprinkles in some sweet, cuteness at the end to tie it all together....hardly groundbreaking stuff.
