I found this film to be very average. I laughed a few times, but at the end of the day, this is by no means a groundbreaker. There is nothing special about it.
It seems to be the case that all you have to do to bring a comedy out nowadays is swear a lot, and show the odd bit of nudity or gross-out humour.
I find it quite a shame that films like this reach such a large audience, when to be honest, they deserve nothing but a bargain bin life.
Seth Rogen can be relatively funny, but he's starting to play more or less the same character in every film - the down-on-his-luck, angry-with-life caner with no chance of greater success. In this film, however, he grains on me more than he has before. I'm beginning to lose any appeal I once had for him.

My brother has this film in his top ten. Most people I spoke to about this film had it in their top tens. IMDb, at the time, had it as the third greatest film on the website with a score of 9.1. Naturally, I was impressed by this, so I did what I haven't done in years, and actually went to the cinema.
When I left, my wife and I agreed with one another that although the film was original and thought-provoking, it was by no means the film of the decade, or even in our top twenty.
Now comes the point where people tell me that I didn't "get" the film. Don't worry - I got every single thing about it, but here is where the problem lies, for me, at least: When I pay eight pounds for myself, eight pounds for my wife, and a whole lot more for food, drinks and fuel money to get there, I like being entertained. In this case, I wasn't. It was like I had spent all that money, only to be handed a thousand-piece jigsaw and told I had what seemed like four hours to figure it out.
Ellen Page didn't even get her knockers out once, too. I was gutted.
