It made me happy! <br /><br />@ Dan O - It is also my favourite, though I haven't seen Funny People. <br /><br />@ dirtywithclass - I forgot to mention in my review, but this is one of Heigl's best performances too, and the only film I have seen her in where she didn't annoy me. <br /><br />@ Nick - Yeah, Leslie Mann was excellent. Apatow always gives us the whole coverage of his characters - revealing more than we expect. Hard to fault that sort of writing. <br /><br />@ Ian - That's a great scene. Harold Ramis is so funny. <br /><br />I dunno about that, I think Rogen has some range. I always find his angry rants to be really witty and wordy; but he is written to play a stoner in just about every film - something he does pull off well. I was impressed by his work here, and I think his voice talents in Paul were well utilised too. The guy is funny. <br /><br />@ Tyler - I really should get that three DVD pack - I enjoy all of those films!

Seen it when it came out then again when I bought it (in a three DVD pack with THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and SUPERBAD), but I have to see it again.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-82930475372589446462011-09-28T05:08:37.895+10:002011-09-28T05:08:37.895+10:00My favorite scene was Ben's father explaining ...My favorite scene was Ben's father explaining how he had never desired to become a parent yet the the birth of his son turned out to be one of the best things that happened to him. Funny and touching.<br /><br />But I'm not sure if Seth Rogen can really be credited with having a great performance since he basically just did what he's best at; insulting people and smoking weed onscreen.Ian Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617512627906067345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-78822806514006482062011-09-28T02:23:26.494+10:002011-09-28T02:23:26.494+10:00Good review, man.

I thought she was brilliant - a comedic version of Mark Wahlberg in "The Departed" - and if I'd had my druthers (which I never do) she would have earned an Oscar nomination. And I actually felt her scene with Heigl at the nightclub was one of the film's most important - there's a thin line between young & old.Nickhttp://cinemaromantico.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-28836499246336826842011-09-28T01:55:07.504+10:002011-09-28T01:55:07.504+10:00I generally love Apatow, and this happens to be th...I generally love Apatow, and this happens to be the only Kristen heigl movie i likedirtywithclasshttp://www.dirtywithclass.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-76075881764759334092011-09-28T00:24:58.253+10:002011-09-28T00:24:58.253+10:00My favorite Apatow film and that's saying a lo...My favorite Apatow film and that's saying a lot.
