There’s three levels of Judd Apatow.
First there’s the movies he has directed which at the moment is two in KNOCKED UP and THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, two movies I absolutely love.
Second there’s movies he has produced and that feature actors from his filmography which are good but not quite the level as the movies above with SUPERBAD, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL and THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS.
Third there’s movies he has had nothing at all to do with but features actors he has helped get over like the upcoming ROLE MODELS which looks dreadful. Movies that are trying to appeal to the same audience but aren’t nearly as cleverly written or produced. I LOVE YOU, MAN features predominately in that category.
Paul Rudd and Jason Segel star in what looks to be a terribly unfunny movie about a guy who has a lost of girl friends but is in need of a male friend to be the best man at his wedding. It’s from the director of ALONG CAME POLLY which similarly had very few laughs…
The movie opens March 20th in the U.S. and April 10th in the U.K.

I saw Role Models the other day and it’s surprisingly funny! I’ll review it soon…
Role Models is by far the funniest movie released this year. I relate it more to the State than any Apatow productions. Rudd was doing stuff with David Wain way before Apatow. Granted, the trailer was pretty weak, you should really check it out before you judge. It’s awesome.
Yeah… Role Models is good. David Wain owns your ass.
Also, I Love You Man looks really funny.
What exactly IS funny over there in Britain? :-P
I love you man looks like SHIIITTTT. its so vomit inducing, and to think people actually want to see it cuz they think it looks promising and funny. ICK
I saw a screening of this film and I will tell you one thing – it is better than anything Apatow has ever done. Oh, and Role Models was awesome. Don’t pre-judge – save your comments until you’ve actually seen the movie.
Seriously, save your opinions until you’ve seen the movie.
“I love you man” is hilarious.
I especially like the ’slappa da bass mon!’ scene in i love you man,
i’d happily pay to see this movie again just for that part!
you tube it now!
hhshhshhs
This movie was fucking awful
To the people that say the movie sucked, and that it was Apatow’s worst. Bull shit, the man was showing his range. Every movie he does can’t be redundant, in order to be successful you have to show some contrast and broaden your demographic.
Shut up
