Customer Reviews:
 Aptly named, 2008-09-06
The Good: Not much. The one small glimmer of light in this otherwise black hole of a movie is Michael Cera (Evan). The guy's just likable in a sweet, dorky way. While there are some chuckles in the film, they are far overshadowed by the absolute cringe-worthy language and the absolute annoyance of Jonah Hill.
The Bad: Where to start? A young boy obsessed with drawing male genitalia ... what does that have to do with ANYTHING? I think it was supposed to be funny but it wasn't. And it was kind of like one of those trademark Family Guy moments where they intentionally overdue something inane ... except I don't think it was intentional here. The language in this movie is abominable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a total prude but the f-bomb is used in this movie like I use the article "the." It's beyond gratuitous. About fifteen to twenty minutes into the movie we considered turning it off but we stuck through to the end, just waiting to see if it ever "picked up." It didn't.
The Summary: So what exactly is the point of this movie? Well in a nutshell, it's one of those coming of age movies disguised as a gross-out movie, stealthily hiding a warm and fuzzy friendship tale. As with most movies of this type, the two main teenage characters, Seth and Evan, are desperately trying to get laid. In pursuit of this, they must bring alcohol to a party they've managed to get invited to despite their obvious dorkiness. Helping them in this endeavor is dorkiest buddy Fogell, who is the only one with a fake ID ... one that dubs him McLovin. Okay, now that actually IS funny. The rest ... not so much. Hijinks ensue, but again, mostly a snoozer with excessively excessive foul language. There are drug scenes, some nudity, yada yada ... stuff that seems to be written by a teenage boy for teenage boys. How Judd Apatow has managed to become so successful is simply a mystery to me. Having now seen three Apatow movies, I think I've finally learned my lesson. The mere sight of Jonah Hill or Seth Rogen tells me BAD MOVIE.
