Bingo. Knocked Up was awful in so many ways. It basically treated all the characters with disdain. And it had one of those awful third acts where the dumbass lead male magically gets his life together in a montage.

The third act was so, so bad. I like the closing shot quite a bit, though. Stuck with me.

Paul Rudd always plays a likeable character and does so pretty well. Also a fan of Leslie Mann.

Also, Paul Rudd has been my mancrush for years.

And of course this thread already fast evolved into yet another Paul Rudd/GAF love fest

I honestly dont get this. I dont see any reason to hate this guy but I simply fail to see his upside

Plays the same uni dimensional character every movie, flat delivery, no energy, no facial expressions... He's not bad but he's certainly not as great as GAf makes him out to be. He's just plain.

Go ahead, prove me wrong with a clip or something

Will definitely watch this.

Have a real thing for comedies Apatow is involved in in any capacity.....all of them. Yes, even that one.

Funny People is his best film, it just needed to shave off 20-30 minutes though.

And you know...not showing the entire movie in the trailer.

Sounds like a fun film. I liked their characters in Knocked Up.

Your post just highlights one of Paul Rudd's many talents, he is really good at delivering a deadpan line.

One of the funniest parts of Knocked up is this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GPMZarvP94

I had to stop watching it half way through, but what I saw was really good and a lot better than 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up.
