cheers to you for not being totally pissed about that. No. I wasn't that guy, but I had the same kind of laughter. I tried so hard not to cackle that I ended up snorting on numerous occasions. How embarrassing.

Nice to see another person who saw 100 Girls. Also make sure you catch her in all 3 seasons of Roswell

Yeah, I like little flicks like 100 Girls, I've got it on DVD. Heck, I'm even waiting for Trojan War to finally come to DVD also.

I didn't even know she was in Roswell until I looked her up on IMDB earlier tonight, so I just might give that a shot finally as well.

100 Girls was great. I also enjoyed 40 Days and 40 Nights.

This movie rocked. It's as good or better than 40 Year Old Virgin IMO.

It was great to see al of the Apatow alumni in one place. I also to have to agree with the earlier posts about Paul Rudd. He was really great in this and 40 Year Old, as well as that recent Veronica Mars he was in.

I thought the scene with the sexual predator website was hilarious.

"What do you want me to do...form a posse?"



I thought it was a pretty good movie, not great, but pretty good. I'm sure I'll appreciate it on DVD.

Wow. What an incredible movie. The funniest and sweetest comedy I have seen in years. I can't wait to see it again.

Just saw this. Was definitely funny. Still think she would die of alcohol poisoning before she would be drunk enough to screw Ben Stone

It was ok. I thought 40 year old virgin was funnier even tho 90% of the cast is in this one as well. Some of the comedy was very dry, although the bouncer scene was hilarious. When i walked out of the theater, hardly any scenes were really rememberable to me, 40YOV had many that my friends and i talked about for days. I'd give it a b-.

I really like this movie. I even thought it was better than 40 year old virgin. But the 50 Spiderman 3 references were kind of annoying.

there were no more than 3. And for that matter it was simply to offer some reference of time as one is a universal film and another is a sony film. I doubt it was suppose to be any sort of product placement.

Still, they were annoying.

There were about a half dozen product placements that I noticed that bugged me. One or two is fine, but when they pop up every 10-15 minutes it gets annoying.

The product placement didn't bother me, but I did notice it as well.

But hey, any movie that feels like whoring out Wild Things is fine by me.

You're right, they should have been references to Superbad.

Well, actually, I Googled it, and found out that it was not every 10-15 minutes. According to Google, it was more like every 12-17 minutes, if what I Googled it correct. If Google is wrong (and Google rarely is), then you may actually be correct.

[Side note: I finally got to see this tonight. I made a promise to a friend, and she wasn't back in town until tonight, so... It was good, but, as I believe someone mentioned before me, not great. I think it needed to be a bit tighter, and the final half hour or so - estimation - needed to amp up the humor a bit. The sentiment was there, which I loved, but the humor was lacking a bit. That having been said, I will definitely be buying this when it hits DVD.]

I finally saw this today. The Bus will be happy to know that this film is indeed funnier than 40YOV. Every line in this movie is golden, and the movie whizzed by almost too quickly. Seth Rogen is fast-tracking his fame here. Katherine Heigl is super-duper-uberhot. Ryan Seacrest is not who he seems. The Vegas "trip" has to be the hardest I've laughed at a movie since the naked fighting in Borat (possibly aside from the opening to Aqua Teen Hunger Force). A++++++ for this.

My three favorite lines:
Spoiler:
"You look like Babe Ruth's gay brother, Gabe Ruth."
"My shit looked like a fucking stuffed animal!"
"Hey, I have a really good idea. Why don't the two of you get into your time machine, go back in time, and fuck each other." (That whole rambling thing about the Back to the Future stuff was priceless, but this sent it to hyperspace)

I also thought when they were calling the friend with the huge beard names and one of them was "coked-out Martin Scorsese" was brilliant.

The Vegas trip scene was just about the only part that kinda confused me. Earlier in the film, they showed the 'Fear And Loathing' poster on the wall, so when the setup came I was expecting maybe a satire of the Depp at Circus Circus scene, but instead they just had him freak out over the performers. Didn't even get kicked out - he just got up and left of his own volition.

When they went back to the hotel right after, THAT scene (chairs and "my hand tastes like a rainbow!") was much funnier and seemed to pay off better. For me, anyway.

Anyone know what movie it was that the characters were watching in Knocked Up that had the full frontal nudity in the opening credits?

Just curious...
