I think Michael Cera's (aka George Michael) dry sense of humor was what really drove this movie, at least for me anyways. Pick up the two-disc edition, it's mighty good.

    I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow through netflix (says it shipped so I was high enough on the list to receive the new release).

    knocked up was way over-hyped. i didn't think it was all that funny. it just wasn't as male-centered so critics were allowed to like it.

    Well there were some really poorly written jokes... specifically around the main characters friends... I thought the movie got a pass in respect to some of the writing. I look forward to seeing Superbad though.

    superbad was much funnier. but dont expect anything novel. it's damn funny, but nothing really new.

    Speaking of Knocked Up...

    There was a thread about that movie on my mom message board that I used to belong to. None of the women liked it, because, in their words "there were too many F-bombs" and one of them "expected it to be a lot more like the movie Nine Months start Hugh Grant"...

    I've since stopped visiting that board. :D

    I agree, though...Superbad was really funny, largely because of Michael Cera. He's great. And cute. ;)

    I thought Superbad was over-hyped too! I saw it in the theater and laughed maybe twice throughout the movie..

    maybe i avoided the hype and had my expectations lowered enough by knocked up to enjoy it more.

    knocked up was great, superbad was great, and walk hard will be great. judd apatow does no wrong.

    Walk Hard is not Judd Apatow, but you're right, he does no wrong. Everyone who hasn't seen Superbad, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin and the TV series' Undeclared and Freaks & Geeks is seriously missing out.

    Superbad was waaay overhyped. It was a mediocre movie that everyone went nuts about for some reason. Knocked Up was much better.

    judd apatow is one of the writers of walk hard. he produced it also. so it is very much judd apatow (you can look it up if you dont believe me). freaks and geeks is the most underrated show of all time. definitely my fave show besides sopranos and seinfeld. apatow is a true genious.

    Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who didnt find it that funny. My mate said it was hilarious, so I watched it, and laughed maybe once or twice...nothing new with this film that hasn't been done before....about from the blood on the guys leg, which was kinda gross.

    are you serious? knocked up didnt hold a candle to superbad, half the movie was lame shots of them getting ultrasounds and crying about their baby and sappy bullshit like that. it was the most over-hyped movie of the year. the reason it did so well is (and dunk will back me on this) girls have no sense of humor so it was finally a judd flick that chicks would be willing to watch cos there was some sappy bullshit drama.

    but neither was as good as 40 year old virgin.

    my favorite scene might be when evan (aka: george michael) gets trapped in the room with the cokeheads and they make him sing "these eyes". the dance moves are hilarious.

    knocked up was good but overhyped. superbad is the best comedy of the year. i'm way behind on seeing movies too but it's by far the best one i've seen all year. "a breast reduction is like slapping god in the face." if you didn't find this movie good or funny you need to go to a doctor, there's something wrong with you.

    I laughed so hard at that part, I think I needed to use my asthma inhaler.

    Gotta say Reno 911 Miami is better than Superbad by a hair...both are way funnier than anything else this year though.

    I liked McLovin' and the two cops but I wasn't too into Seth and Evan. Seth was just too loud and over the top and Evan was too whiney and play-it-straight. I wish they could have met in the middle. they did have some funny lines though.
