Trailer looks funny but will most likely see it on DVD.

Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm too old, but I'm getting really tired of this kind of comedy. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Just got back from a preview screening.
Hilarious movie. I laughed as hard as I did in Superbad or Knocked Up, but technically speaking this film wasn't as good. If you like to laugh go see it, simple as that. If anyone has any questions about the film I can answer them.
9/10

I'm looking forward to seeing this, even though I really hate Russel Brand

Man--- I mean you gave it a 9/10 so I think I am pretty stoked for this film. I just watched the red band trailer for this movie again and laughed the entire time. It comes out this Friday right?

I'm glad it's funny and clever and all that, but what if some theoretical person were to want to go see it just for the opportunity to drool over Mila Kunis wearing nothing but a skimpy bikini? Would such a theoretical person likely be theoretically disappointed?
(Really? Marshall gets a bottomless scene and Jackie doesn't? What has the world come to?)

Saw it. Loved it. My expectations were low, because I honestly thought the trailers looked really bad. But it was better than Knocked Up in just about every way, and only a notch below 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad and Walk Hard. The dynamics of the different relationships rang very true to me, it was nice to see that no one was a stereotype. There were several scenes where I laughed so hard that I missed some of the lines. I'll probably catch it again in the theater.

And in regards to your "spoiler," I wondered the same thing myself.

Most excellent. I had little doubt, but your assurances are appreciated, sir!

Slightly O/T:
I just read in EW that Segal was handed a stack of scripts from Disney to mull over but instead pitched them an idea for a new Muppet movie. The concept is that the Muppet Show is going under and the gang has to throw on one last all out gig to save the show. Apparently Disney ate it up and are moving forward on it.
Love the idea. Tying a movie into the television series is awesome. The Muppets are always better in original material (MM, Caper, Manhattan, Space) versus interpreting others works (Christmas Carol, Treasure Island, Oz). Can't wait.

If that Muppet project ends up being loaded with Apatow cameos, it will be possibly the ultimate way to cross over these guys to kids too young to understand the greatness of Superbad or Knocked Up or 40 Year Old Virgin. I'll pay top dollar to see Rogen, Rudd, Hill, Cera, Carell, Black, Ferrell, Segel, et al yukking it up with the Muppets.

My girlfriend's gossip blog of choice is Jezebel and this is what they said about it.
[BTW, Jezebel is a gossip blog written by and made for feminists for those of you who are unaware.]
Which is then followed by reviews going against the film's sense of crude humor and a story-line devoted towards (mostly) men.
Not going to lie, I would take one Apatow produced film over the entire (worthless) careers of Nancy Myers and Nora Ephron.
Are the Apatow films sexist? Yes. However, they have more honesty than any mainstream romantic comedy in over two decades (The Last American Virgin would be one of the last I would think of before Apatow's success).

But is the film funny? The reviews are mixed. After the jump, read the critics have to say and see if you're still charmed (if you ever were) by Apatow's "endearing dude"-centered films.
