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.

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.

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.

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-.

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.

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.

[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:

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.
