I have to say that I'm a bit tired of these kinds of movies. Mike speaking about seeing the main character totally nude in his review of "Sarah Marshall" makes me pass on that movie. Jason and I saw "Walk Hard" and that movie was almost too much. (I think I should have stayed with the theater version instead of the director's cut.) I've had enough of this kind of comedy.
"Virgin" was funny and had a great ending, where he actually waited until his wedding night to have sex, but I walked out saying that I couldn't recommend that to anyone because it was so crude, even though it had a good message.
They should just stick it in the adult section and be done with it.

I saw the trailer for this the other day and was surprised how funny I found it. Now, I'm a huge fan of raunchy, but I'd assumed the filmmakers had nothing original or humorous to say based on the very lame title.

And the trailer has one of the funniest lines I've seen in a while: "Yeah, I do." That line killed.

I agree with Rob for the most part. These movies are raunchy. It's what they are, some people don't mind, some just find them too offensive. I saw both virgin and knocked up and just didn't find either of them all that funny. Raunchy definitely, just not that funny.

I couldn't watch that stuff with my parents for sure, but my wife? She's my best friend, we pretty much find the same things funny most of the time :)

Most of the time....

Y'know, I'm not a total stick-in-the-mud, but I still can't even remotely understand why so many people seemed to actually LIKE "Superbad." Seriously, I was embarrassed to be watching it with a woman in the room - and it was my wife!

I think Rob makes a good point because the Judd Apatow movies are so big right now and they are pretty crude. I mean, "40 Year Old Virgin" was actually probably the tamest of the big hits. Each one seems to have gone just a little further down the "crude" road. And that kind of shows what I was saying about how we just get desensitized to it and don't even really notice anymore.

for me the jury is still out on this one. preview looks funny but i question whether they can maintain the level of humor throughout the film. i love twisted, raunchy comedies so i will probably rent it when it comes out.

Well, I agree with Rob, although on a different level, since I totally enjoyed those movies, and enjoy raunchy sometimes when it's done with heart, not just to be dirty. Sarah Marshall is another raunchy film, but it had a good story.

This movie looks like it's done just to be dirty and raise eyebrows.

Can it really be any more offensive and foul than "Superbad?" I was so embarrassed when watching that movie with my wife that I couldn't finish it. We turned the crap off, jammed it back in the Netflix sleeve and kissed that one goodbye.

And "Knocked Up" was no beacon of decency, really. Seth Rogen needs to stick to be a wingman - he lacks the polish and likability to carry a movie as the lead. He was great in "40 Year Old Virgin" but only because he was supposed to be crude and obnoxious.

Oh I thought it looked funny because it seemed pretty realistic to me, but who knows.

Definitely pushing the limits with the name of the movie. I love how people stand by their "principles" like the name of a film, but in reality, they are the ones creating the "principle" they stand by on their own.
