I'm kind of a Judd Apatow fan. I didn't think I'd like Knocked Up or 40 Year Old Virgin. They're fun movies because of the people in them but yeah, Seth Rogan's only okay in small doses now.
I'm sorry, ladies. I'm not on any woman's side in these movies. I'm sure Kathrine Heigl loved pretending to be OK with Seth Rogan's stoner bullshit when in real life she'd never date a guy like him. I thought she was okay in this too, if she'd maybe not bitched so much later she wouldn't have been considered such a C. But to be fair, Andy Dick does kinda go overboard feeling her up, his hands go way too low. Someone brought it up in an article because it's been over ten years since the movie came out, so that means clickbait articles are at an all time high if you can say, ten years since X remember this?? Huh? Cheap. It really wasn't trying to do what she claims. There's a scene where she's accepting of Ben's shit. And maybe pregnant psychos need to be put in their place, because, yeah, Fuck You, Hormones.
Apatow's kids are the cutest.
The best thing Apatow does is really take those cliche Hollywood moments and ruin them with big doses of reality. But it's all done so charmingly. I don't think one suffers as much from the same lack of editing as his other films. It's a sweet movie that tries to be fair to both sides of the deal, the guys aren't in the right with their bullshit. It's about young people facing adult situations when they basically don't want to. I don't think the movie would've been praised as highly if Apatow were saying what she suggests. I don't think she was agreed with. I don't think there was a contingent of feminists coming out in support, because they didn't really rally behind her, she became a magnet for bad press and stopped getting work. She wasn't needed for the sorta sequel, obviously. Apparently she was able to improvise like most of the cast is clearly doing, so if she was deciding to take the character in that direction, then complaining she was directed to do it. Oh yeah, that's right, she snubbed her Emmy nomination by saying she didn't deserve it based on what she was given to work with, i.e. being a coma patient I think. Whatever.
I only came here to say I have all the movies I possibly ever wanted to own, save a few I'd like but aren't desperate to obtain yet, and I'm watching this. Out of all of them.
