hmm, wasnt going to see it until dvd, but hey a recommendation by dok-gotta check it out. BTW never ever ever ever watch the movie martyrs.
great movie, perfect balance between comedy and serious plot line. The big issue is it was 2 hours and 30 minutes long, but other than that it was great. Go see it.
There's even a part with Eminem

good flick.
The mookie crew will come in and talk about how it wasn't very good
of course they will scoff at it's popularity and cite some ty indie film as the best flick ever.
American comedies are so passé.
if you thought 2 hr and 30 min was long the original cut was around 3 hrs 45 min
I'd really like to see this movie. Looks hilarious.
I still find it funny when Mookie was talking down to me about the recruits UA got recently claiming that they weren't for the upcoming season even though he had no idea what he was talking about.
Great movie, lots of funny bits...

Seems to be getting bad reviews elsewhere which usually means its a good movie. I've been wanting to see it since I first saw the previews a month or two ago.
That said though, 150 minutes is way too long. I hate, HATE movies over 100 minutes MAX. I get too bored. This includes movies like Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan, though I did like them, they are also too long.
Seeing it with my lady this week she won a free ticket on fandango so its a cheap date.
I have been a fan of Sandler since Big Daddy. I go to UCLA so I've actually played basketball with him, great guy, got to support this one. As opposed to watching a pirated version per status quo.
Sandler is hilarious, def think billy madison was his best still. Tho Dont mess with the zohan is absolutely ing hilarious. Its a movie that either a person thinks is just too stupid/silly to even laugh or they embrace how stupid it is and laugh thru the whole thing, im the latter. John turturro is so ing funny in it....the phantom, roflllll. Anyways still gonna check this out, probably will do a double feature next weekend.
I'm the former.
Well...I guess I am going to be the one to rain on this movie's parade.
With the exception of a few funny one-liners, I was pretty disappointed overall. This movie was a great idea on paper but was horribly executed by Aptow...in both the storyline and the comedy. As an old school Sandler fan, it was hard to see him subjected to Aptow's writing. He was basically reduced to a hundred penis jokes. It was funny the first few times, but after a while I found myself just rolling my eyes. Aptow relies heavily on the dialogue to carry this movie and I think that is where his biggest failure is, mostly because he seems to run out of ideas pretty quickly. He should have taken some notes from Sandler's movies and added more situational comedy and random characters. Sandler even made the romantic comedy bearable when he did 50 First Dates...and he achieved this with himself mixed with other great random characters(the tattooed cook at the diner, his man thing co-worker and his crazy, weed smoking friend). Aptow basically relies on Sandler, Rogan and Jonah Hill to do most of the heavy lifting with the dialogue he provided and after an hour or so they get pretty tired.
The story started off OK(with the exception of the completely unfunny standup routines) and Sander and Rogan actually had decent chemistry in this film. Where it dies is in the last half of the movie, as we spend over an hour at Sandler's ex's house. I don't know how else to say it, so I'll just say it...Eric Bana is not funny and was completely miscast for this film. The house sequence would have been much more bearable if they had used one of the guys from Sandler's previous movies as the husband. This whole scene drags out so bad that I wanted to just claw my eyes out. I almost left the theater because I was tired of waiting on the ending. It's really hard to put into words how poorly executed this part of the movie was. It was just a bad idea overall. I like the idea of Sandler reaching out to the ex, but it could have been made much more interesting. I would have liked to have seen Rogan, Sandler and Leslie Mann travel somewhere together and perhaps get themselves caught up in some different random situations.
The end was pretty cliche...with the inevitable split and reconciliation of Sandler and Rogan. It really is a shame that the writing wasn't better because as I said before, Rogan and Sandler had pretty good chemistry. I'd like to see them try it again with a better script.
Overall, there will be alot of 18-22 yr olds that will probably like this movie because of the countless penis jokes and overusage of the word ...and I don't really blame them because when I was that age I liked stuff like that. But when I was that age you also had really good comedies that didn't need an overload of any of that because the writing and characters were great. This movie is nothing more than an attempt at those movies without the substance.
eminems part was my favorite!
when ramano says 'hi marshall' i lol'd...
testing 1 2 3
not that funny of a movie at all... seth rogan is going down the drain fast!
I liked it. I thought Seth Rogan was very good in this movie and he showed a different side of himself in this movie. He can play a dramatic role, which I did not know he could before.
Jonas Hill always steals the show though....he is so funny.
ya the part at the ex's house did drag on for way too long.
other than that, i thought it was pretty good.
The Hangover>>>>Funny People
A bit slow and long had some funny and Ball jokes.
