It’s interesting to hear other people’s opinions on Judd’s films. I absolutely loved Knocked Up so much that I saw it in the theatre 4 times within it’s first 2 weeks of opening. This coming from a person who doesn’t go to the theatre more than maybe a dozen times in a year (if even THAT much)!

Virgin is a total gem and I think I am one of the few people I know that loved Superbad as much as the others. I’ve heard many people say they weren’t that into it.

I think the only Apatow film I didn’t find that great was Walk Hard. I wouldn’t even bother seeing Drillbit Taylor. It looks horrible. I think a lot of people forget about Anchorman. That was a hilarious movie as well, but Virgin definitely kicked it up a few notches!

Needless to say – Jason Segel is so amazing at what he does (watch him play Sam in Slackers or Eric in Undeclared and you’ll know what i’m talking about) and I plan on equipping myself with some adult diapers on the 18 because I KNOW i’ll pee my pants in the theatre!

This week, Phillips and Roeper absolutley loved this film. They went on and on praising it. And given that Phillips is usually reserved in praising most movies, I’m frankly surprised. They love Segel’s script, and Segel’s acting too. Roeper has already said it fits in his best 50 comedies ever. They say the supporting cast is amazing too (Paul Rudd is fantastic even when others around him fail) including Kunis.

I’m trying to avoid clips from the movie (I feel it ruins the overall experience, when you’ve already decided to watch it). But it’s hard not getting overly excited. Damn, April 18th isn’t coming fast enough.

To be honest, Superbad had a a couple of funny things in it, but didn’t innovate anythign I didn’t see before in the overall movie. I liked Knocked Up, and even though it’s merely liked, it’s still above and beyond better than the crap Hollywood keeps churning out.

But 40-Year-Old Virgin is a gem. Probably (I seriously can’t think of anything else), the funniest comedy movie for me I’ve ever seen. Subjective, true, but I was laughing out loud so, so, so many times (I don’t laugh out loud in most movies, and even in the good ones, I crack a smile much more than laugh).

I’ve been waiting for this since I heard rumblings about it about a year ago. Mr. Segel has my heart. I saved some free movies passes I had for the opening of this film, so i’ll definitely be there!

Now if only I could meet the man. (p.s. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not some crazy stalker fan. Just have wanted to meet him for years.)

The fact that Segel is in it makes it even more appealing.

I will deff be there opening night!

It’s hysterical – dirty, sharp, witty, adorable and absolutely hilarious. An incredible cast is featured aside from Segel – the leading ladies, Bell and Kunis are both great in their roles but the minor supporting cast are really outstanding – Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Jack McBrayer score some amazing laughs in the movie. Russell Brand is hilarious as well. If you’ve seen an Apatow production (40-Year-Old-Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, etc.) – you know what to expect. If you haven’t – be warned, there is a lot of crude sexual humor and language. I personally love it, but not everyone will. I think most open-minded HIMYM fans will enjoy the movie, though.

I hope that this movie is a success at the box office.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so excited about a movie.

Hmmm…now where did I put my time machine?

Seriously, though, I’ll definitely be there opening night. Everything about it is perfect…funny guys, two hot girls (who also happen to have great comic timing), and the guys who brought me 40-year-old-virgin. Can’t wait!

PS – Have I mentioned how much I love that it says “wait for it…” when I post a comment? Legendary.
