I'm planning on going with Elizabeth to see this on Sunday and can't wait. The reviews have been great.

I saw it today and really enjoyed it. I love Apatow -- he wrote Freaks and Geeks. I also love that he works with the same actors over and over. I will say that the latter half of the film does start to drag a bit ( a good edit of 15 minutes would have really helped) but overall I'd give it a big thumbs up.

I haven't laughed so hard till I cried watching a movie in a long time. Maybe I'm a prude but I would have given this an R rating. I'd also be interested in knowing exactly how many times the f-word was used and that was some of the tamer language.

Okay, now I feel kinda dumb. I just went back and checked and this movie is rated R. I don't know if I was looking at the rating for another movie or what, but I was thinking it was PG-13. It is still a very funny movie.

I had a student tell me this week, that a movie can have one f-word in it for a PG-13 rating. More than that and it's R. It's true for two shows we show at school (Swing Kids and Antitrust), but that's a pretty small sampling. ;) Think I'll wait to see this on PPV -- doesn't seem to be one that needs to be seen on the big screen to be enjoyable.

Yes, I think the rule is one F-word, as long as it's an exclamation, and not a reference to sex, can still get a PG13. This film was clearly an R to me, simply based on the sex and how the mpaa reacts to that.

Just got back and I have to say that this is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Laughed throughout the whole film.

The only other thing that I saw wrong with this movies was the continuity in the scenes when they meet. At the table, her hair is up - on the dance floor, her hair is down - when they decide to leave the club and walk towards the door, her hair is up - when they walk out of the club, her is down.

This movie was HILARIOUS!!! I laughed through the whole movie, and the laughs weren't just the stuff from the commercials. The birth scenes had me peeing my pants. Considering the "wife" is played by Judd Apatow's wife, I think she did a GREAT job of playing a crazy woman. I think she was more entertaining than Heigl, that's for sure. It seems to me that Heigl brought nothing to the show, but everyone else around her was so funny that she can't help but look good. Paul Rudd is slowly becoming one of my favorite comedy actors, because his humor is so subdued and deadpan. I really like him. Seth Rogan is from Vancouver and went to high school with a few of my friends. It was cool to hear the references to Vancouver in the movie. LOL I recommend everyone see this.

I agree that the lead female was probably the weakest role. Can't think of anyone off hand that I would have preferred. Forgot to mention... *** spoilers!! *** my favorite cameos: Ryan Seacrest and James Franco. I loved seeing Ryan poke fun at himself. I almost gasped with delight at seeing James Franco and then recalled that he got his start in Apatow's Freaks and Geeks. OF course!

Eeyore, Elizabeth and I both said the same thing about having more laughs than just the commercials. I love that. I laughed throughout all of it too. I liked Seth and Paul at the party doing their little schtick. It reminded me of a scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where they bring up the merits of Coldplay.

Yes!! "You know how I know you're gay....you like Coldplay." (from 40-year old Virgin) Ryan Seacrest was totally funny. "I have like, 4 jobs! These people need to get their shiit together!"

"If I ever listen to Steely Dan, slice my head off with an Al Jarreau album." LOL I loved all the names they kept coming up with for their friend with the long hair and beard.

Kristen Wiig was very funny as the gal from E! Loved her little side comments.

Oh yes, I loved Kristen's digs. Very funny. If anyone of you have not watched Freaks and Geeks I highly recommend it. Of course it's not raunchy because it was network TV, but it contained great writing, a lot of laughs, and unique characters. Plus it had James Franco's gorgeous face.

I love her on Saturday Night Live (except her role as Amy Poehler's aunt doing movie review). My favorite was her skit with Alec Baldwin doing the carpool thing. We aren't telling you to lose weight. We want you to be tighter.....healthy! So...what we're saying is go to the gym, weight yourself, subtract 20 from that number and then weigh that number."

The woman who played Allison's sister did a really good job at her role, if her role was meant to cause me to hate her and think she's absolutely CRAZY. :P

That is the director's wife, and those were their REAL LIFE children in the movie too! I just saw her on Kimmel the other night. She does "crazy" REAL well!!

The sister was also the Hooters girlfriend in Big Daddy with Adam Sandler.

She also played a very funny drunk woman that Steve Carell goes home with from a bar in 40 Year Old Virgin.

Yeah, that was where I first saw her, in 40-year old virgin. She was hilarious in the car! "Did you have strawberry daquiris tonight?.....I thought so."
