Would you happen to mean "Knocked Up"?

Uh, excuse me? One of the most hilarious comedies of the 90s? It's hardly even a f*cking comedy. I didn't laugh once, I guess I don't really get the humor in two incredibly sexist men being as cruel to women as possible, there's not even any jokes, that's all it is. What a horribly pointless and mean spirited film.

and not to be argumentative, but I've always thought The Breakfast Club was the most overrated movie of all time. Definitely my least favorite John Hughes flick.

I liked The Breakfast Club, and I think it's technically impossible for anything to be worse than Weird Science.

Ah, I didn't know that was John Hughes' work. Anyone who thinks that's better than The Breakfast Club needs their head checked :)

Also I don't get all the Rogen and Apatow hate, I think they're pretty funny, I enjoyed 40Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad quite a lot.

Of course Apatow also wrote Fun With D*ck & Jane and Don't Mess With the Zohan, and Step Brothers was a piece of crap, but nobody's perfect.

Hey I liked Step Brothers. It wasn't a very smart comedy but it was blatant in a funny way. I'll laugh at John C. Reilly for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich though. And yeah, Rogen's a cool guy in my book. Apatow makes some funny movies, a whole lot of movies at that too.

I'm not saying it wasn't funny because it's stupid.

There's good stupid comedies out there, even the Farellys struck gold with Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary.

By the standards of most of todays stupid comedies, I will say Step Brothers is better than most. But there's been way better, maybe I shouldn't call it bad, overall it's a two star film for me, nothing appalling, but very forgettable.

I mainly liked Boats and Hoes. Or that's the line I particularly enjoy and remember and sometimes recite when I play the drums on Rockband. But I thought John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell played good man-children.

^ Will Ferrel is the king of man-children!

Surell 03-21-2009 09:28 PM

Yeah, they play the roles well and were probably typecast. But they're good at it.
