The best Apatow film since, well, Knocked Up. I really do not understand all the hatred toward Apatow. This was a decent film by an extremely competent and often intimate writer/director. I didn't like Funny People either but I laughed my ass off and thoroughly enjoyed this one. My favorite part of Knocked Up was when Seth Rogan's character is explaining his problems to Paul Rudd's character with great enthusiasm while cursing at him like a crazy person and when he's finally done and runs off camera, Paul Rudd's character proceeds to sing Happy Birthday to his kid while bringing out the cake. I thought: I could watch a whole film about these people. And now boom here it is.
