I laughed from the beginning of the movie to the end, and on ’40-Year-Old Virgin’ has the distinction of being able to do that.

I thought Segel’s character, Peter, was great and someone I could relate to very easily. Sarah Marshall was almost a required character, you know there simply for the protagonist to feel the agony. Bell did what she could well, but I had no sympathy for her nor ‘understood’ her (although her recollection of how difficult it was to be Peter’s girlfriend was revealing, and hilarious).

That ‘CSI’ unwitty banter was amazing.

And when Peter started playing that Dracula music in the bar in Hawaii, I swear I thought he was going to impress with soem fancy, beautiful tune. When he made the villain laugh, I couldn’t hold laughing.

Mila Kunis was splendid, but again nothing I never saw before. However, that Snow guy, now he was completely different from the ‘new guy’ in movies. Massive respect. Hilarious too. Along with Paull Rudd’s guy (Paul Rudd is amazing everywhere).

I wasn’t impressed with Jonah Hill’s guy. But that character did help cause one of the funniest scenes in the entire movie, the dinner table awkward double-date (as Snow’s drink was touched). Cell-phone killing you? Priceless.

As for the nude scenes, the theatre I went to was half-awkward silence, half-unable to control the laughter (I was in the latter half, proudly). The reaction of the theatre-goers was funny in and of itself. I’m not sure, as I was laughing, but I could’ve sworn someone gasped very loudly some rows away from me.

Loved this movie. Loved the quick, witty, dialogue.

It’s a classic for me, already.

Russell Brand is huge over here, check out Youtube for some of his Ponderland TV series, total genius!

It was exactly as I expected – brilliant! Jason Segel is sharp and witty and I love the fact that even though this was an Apatow production, which we know usually encompasses much vulgarity, Jason kept the vulgarity necessary and real. Is it unreal that I am enamoured with this man? It’s a little scary for me!

Segel’s acting is so heartfelt that I couldn’t see anyone else in this role, making it feel real for the audience. I joked to my friend that Jason has a clause in his contract that he has to be partially nude in every role he plays (because he has been so far – of the ones i’ve seen anyway).

The rest of the cast were cast well, though I didn’t find the Sarah Marshall character that interesting to tell you the truth. I mean, Kristen Bell was great, but it just felt like all Sarah did was a lot of standing around and staring with wide eyes. I didn’t feel any depth from her (keeping in mind she wasn’t supposed to be a deep character). It seemed like she was the only one the movie WASN’T about. Maybe Segel meant it that way. I don’t know – I have to see the movie again because I was laughing so hard at everything I found it hard to concentrate.

I did notice the theatre got really quiet during the naked break up scene (thank you for that by the way Jason!). I expect either people were so encompassed by Jason’s acting, or in shock from the full frontal assult. It was brave of Segel to do and I think showed just enough to illustrate just how uncomfortable that situation should be.

I hope Jason continues down the line with his script writing. I am BUSTING to see the Muppets done by him. I am one of those people that only own the first Muppet Movie because, in my opinion, it was the true classic and is what a Muppets adventure should be.

As I said to my friend after reading an article about Segel “I love a man who loves puppets!”

I expected a movie more like the 40 year-old virgin and that’s just what we got. Hilarious, sweet, romantic and very likeable characters. All of them.

I loved when Peter sang the Muppet Theme song in the hotel.

It was exactly what I expected…I thought it was fun and I
