I have to do a quick write up of this flick because it was a great little Rom-Com (Romantic Comedy) from Camp Apatow!
The vulgar stuff was done just right! Seeing Mr. Segel's frontal-flapstick was just the right amount of Non-Sexy to be funny! And the "Sex" scenes were done and gone quicker than a 13 year old boy's trip to a Chinese massage parlor, so it hit you quick and made you laugh and moved on... perfect!
Mila Kunis was looking good and actually didn't remind me at all of that stupid character she plays on that "70's" whatever show that I don't like anyways!
There was an awesome remake of "More Than Words" - originally released by 90's powerhouse group Extreme - by a group called "Aloha Sex Juice". The instrumentation and vocals are all in Hawaiian. This song alone actually made me add the soundtrack to my cart in iTunes. Not sure if I'll commit, but it's there just in case.
I really enjoyed the story and the development of the characters, especially Russell Brands character Aldous Snow. He is such a fuckin' douche when this flick starts and by the end, he's actually a normal "rock-star" dude... if there is such a thing, right?
After finding out that Jason Segel wrote this screenplay, I just have to say much respect to him. It's fantastic that he was able to make this movie and I look forward to seeing more movies that he writes! Kudos!!!
The only complaint I have is that I kept seeing the boom mic in the shots. There were three that really stood out. My good buddy, "granitemouse," says that it's the framing of the projector, not the actual boom operators fault. I have a difficult time living with that, but I trust his word, so I'll go with it. Hopefully, the theater that you see it in will not have this issue.
Go see this movie, that's what I say!
