I'd like to start by saying that I got a free movie poster from at the District 9 screening for this movie and its sweet.
What a fantastic cast though right? Even Jonah Hill wasn't his usual annoying self...definitely toned down a lot. But really...Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Leslie Mann, Jason Schwartzman...and those two little Apatow girls. They're cute. Probably rich..and cute.
This was a pretty decent flick...I think I even felt a little funnier after watching it! no...but really it was good. It was totally original...a perfect new age Adam Sandler meets Apatow I think.
The only downside was the time factor. It was reallllly long. I mean, I saw a late show around 10:30 I think and when I got out it was 1am. Kind of one of those unexpected things like wowww I didn't want to be at the movies for that long haha. Plus I'm late to everything and got pretty stupid seats. But whatever. 45 minutes shaved off is necessary.
I thought it was really interesting to watch all the stand up performances just because the way they were filmed made them seem pretty raw and uncut if that doesn't sound too lame. Its true though, comedians can really show off their talent the most while by themselves on stage.
Oh how I love Seth Rogen...he was great in this movie wasn't he? Totally funny...character's totally kind of a jerk...but he ends up learning his lesson I think and he's lovable anyway.
I definitely recommend this film, I just would like everybody to be prepared for 2 and a half hours of sitting in a theater. I do feel sometimes movies that long can take away from the story a little...I mean in something like that, who doesn't find themselves checking their phones for the time?
B from me.
Best song of the movie: All the King's Horses - Robert Plant and the Strange Sensations...just because anything Led Zeppelin automatically takes the #1 spot.
Suggestions welcomeee.
356 to go.
