It looks like one of those bad films that comes out every few months that involves chicks, horribly planned schemes and mishaps.

~Because nothing's as funny as an unplanned pregnancy from a one-night-stand. Oh, the laughter.

Thats why I never tell the one night stands my real name, give them my real number or take them to my place.

Much like the 40 Year Old Virgin, there's going to be a heart in this movie, and characters that will grow on you within the first viewing. And of course there are GREAT comedic actors in this, so that's a solid plus. Plus a cameo from a rad Apatow standard Loudon Wainwright, so all will be fine.
I can fully see it being better than Virgin, since it's dealing with a more serious topic.

I think you're forgetting the talent that's involved in this.....

No, I'm failing to see the talent in this film. The only thing that made Virgin watchable was Carrell. Swap him out for Owen Wilson or Vince Vaughn or Ben Stiller or any other comedic actor, and the movie becomes virtually unwatchable.

This movie doesn't even have that to hang your hat on.

Really, Carrell was the only enjoyment in Virgin for you? Wow, that's something else.
And, oh, there certainly is talent involved. Even once Judd is out of the picture for your liking (but he's still more interesting than any Farrelly brother), the cast is a brilliant bland of comedic goldmine. And yes, there's a cameo by Steve Carrell, in there for ya.
Harold Ramis...whadda say? Wanna see him, don't cha? Well, he's in it, too.
And perhaps more importantly, the wonderful James Franco.

Yup. Everyone else bordered on generic, looming near stupid.

A cameo ain't enough of Carrell.

Ramis? Unless his character's name is Egon, not interested.

Don't even know who Franco is.

So ... no sale.

I may be, but I am also seeing the story.

Which, in my mind, is pretty damn bad.

aka, the only enjoyably aspect of those dull Spider-Man movies.
He's also Harry Walker, a guy who had an ape toss poop on him. Daniel Desario, Sonny Phillips, James Dean and a whole slew of wonderful characters.

I'm not one to argue about anything, so Jed, to each his own.

[Rocky Van Heineken]

I got a free ticket to see it when I bought the 40 Year Old Virgin. I'll definitely be checking it out.

[DSR]

I want to see it, as I like Seth and Judd (and Paul Rudd is all kinds of great, and he's in it a bit). I don't know if I can convince someone to go see it with me, though.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I kinda don't like hearing "if the girl's on top she can't get pregnant, right?" on a TV commercial for a movie... but, maybe I just have a stick up my ass...

I agree every movie I see Paul Rudd in he steals the show...

I still want his "Employee Of The Month" t-shirt from 40YOV.

I just have my doubts about the film especially since it was made the people who brought you the 40 Year Old Vrgin and it wasn't even that funny.

BURN[/Jericho]

and this looks like a movie that i'll see eventually. I usually don't like to go and see comedies in theaters since it's a waste of money and you get the same effect watching on the small screeen.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

I'd go see it but I hate seeing movies in theater alone. Since I have no friends I mght just wait til its on DVD.
