Like you, Franz, I was sort of thrilled to see Paul Rudd as the leading man. He has repeatedly shown that his charisma could make him leading man material, and its not his fault that I had didn’t like his character as much as I wanted to. I simply felt that both Peter and Sydney were not as fresh, daring or unique as they were made out to be.

Unlike you, I thought Adam Samberg’s character had great potential, but that they didn’t quite conceive it. I think he could have made an interesting counter-perspective to the leading boy brawler duo.

It’s not so much that I ‘disliked’ it, as it is that I didn’t think it reached its full potential.

I love you, man, but I completely disagree! The characters you didn’t like, I loved; the characters you liked, I detested (like the gay brother who I feel like he thinks he’s better than everybody else–he’s straight-acting on the outside but he’s a bitch ice queen inside). However, I do agree with this statement: “I’m over-analyzing it to the point of taking all the fun parts out of it.”

I might have enjoyed it less if I saw it by myself because it did sort drag on somewhere in the middle. But I saw it with friends in a dark theater with the scent of popcorn in the air and the environment was great because the audiences were really responsive to the jokes. While it did have its flaws, as a whole, it’s a very enjoyable picture that can please both teenagers AND their parents. It did have its silly moments but it also had maturity. Plus, it’s nice to finally have Paul Rudd as the leading man.

I really thought you would like it. =P

“This is what I saw: “dick flick”

I have never heard that term. It made me spit out the water I was drinking.

I must clean my desk now.”

LOL (or whatever it is kids say these days;)! It’s a TERRIBLE term, that has been used in some American entertainment magazines. That term alone threatened to ruin the whole movie for me.

Be sure to post your thoughts once you’ve seen it.

Okay – this is in my Netflix queue and I think we’ll probably we watching this in the next couple of weeks, so to prevent spoilers I just scanned.
