It was cute.I havent been to a movie in literally yrs,so Im not the best judge. The guy that wrote the movies, 40 Yr old Virgin,Superbad and Knocked Up, wrote this one too.I liked the other ones better but this was funny-ish too.

I saw it, too. I thought it was pretty funny. The step-brother really cracked me up.

It was by Judd Apatow but not written by him - it was actually written by the star, Jason Segal. I thought it was very funny, lots of silly bits although the plot wasn't that inspired. Fun cameos by his buddies too.

Kona, was there anything in the credits after the tv show clip quite near the start? We waited a little while but didn't see anymore and left.

There was just that one clip, about 30 seconds into the ending credits. But for people that get up and run out, they miss that clip. I thought this film was pretty funny. I loved Jason in Freaks and Geeks. He's great at those nice, loser-type guy roles. This was certainly funnier than Super Bad. But I'm not sure it was better than 40-year-old or Knocked up. Still, a hit for those of us who like this kind of humor.

Yes, I really didn't like Superbad at all. That was apparently written by Seth Rogan, so it seems Judd Apaptow is giving all his boys a turn at making movies!

I thought Superbad was super bad. Actually, the stuff with the cops was kind of fun. Perhaps if they'd edited out 30-40 minutes it would have been funnier. It just went on and on and on. I have a hard time seeing the nurse on ER without thinking of Freaks and Geeks as well. That show really was packed with talent.

Haven't seen this movie yet. Just popping in to see what you are all saying about it. I usually really like projects that Judd Apatow is involved in. I absolutely loved Freaks and Geeks! I got the DVD set in the yearbook when it came out. It's a really nice package. (Also was a fan of Undeclared too. I have that on DVD as well.)

You'll probably enjoy this KC, but I would lower my expectations a bit, so then you'll be pleasantly surprised. Don't expect a gut wrenching non-stop laugh fest.

Yea, I would say the critics beefed up the praise a bit but it was still funny and entertaining none the less.

The question is "Would Sarah Marshalls like it?"

DH and I both laughed really hard many times during this movie. Many others in the theater did, too. I loved that even the minor characters were memorable and hilarious. I loved Dracula the Musical with puppets! I love Hawaii. It was better than I had thought it would be. KL, no she probably wouldn't.

I think for me it was years of watching Russel Brand on the UK Big Brother's Big Mouth that really made it for me...it was almost like he was playing an overblown version of himself. A lot of the character of Snow that he played was him it made me laugh more. I overall really enjoyed this movie and would watch it again.

We went to this movie last night. It was OK, but it was getting a little to close to a Meg Ryan comedy romance movie, so I wasn't too set on it. Hated the dracula musical parts, and they kept coming up, which annoyed me. It was only half-funny in the bar, so why would I like it again when he's at home, or the full version in the theater at the end? I LOVE LOVE LOVED Superbad!!! That was one of the funniest movies I've seen since Anchorman or Zoolander. Personally, I can't STAND the guy who plays the step-brother (I think his name is Bill Hader?) I hated him in Superbad, and thought he ruined the cop scenes, and I hate him on SNL. I LOVE Paul Rudd though (Kunu the surf guy). I just love his version of humor or delivery or whatever. Loved him in Clueless, Anchorman, 40 Yr Old, Knocked Up. I want him to have a bigger part in a movie! He's so funny! There's something about Rachel Bilson that makes me not believe her when she plays any character older than 18. She just looks and sounds young, which is LUCKY for her, but, like Katie Holmes, makes her unbelievable to some in the older roles. It didn't help that Jason Segal looks about 15-20 years older than her. Anyways, I thought the movie was OK, but for MY tastes, I'd have rather watched it as a rental in a few months, than waste money on it in the theater. I kinda wanted to see Baby Mama, but my bf chose this one. Oh, annd how could I forget the guy who was the newlywed! I am loving his roles, but he really does play the same type of person in every role he gets. But I love that "character"!! LOL "Stop! Stop!! Our mouth was put on our head for a reason!" hahahahahahaha!!!

Yes! I am an idiot! LOL I mix them up all the time in RL too. Meh, they seem interchangeable to me. Dark hair, dark eyes, high voice like nails on a chalkboard.
