Seth Rogen

Sweet and raunchy in equal measure, which I suppose makes it the aged-to-perfection version of American Pie.

Apatow's part in the rehab of the mainstream comedy relies on the underlying yearnings of archetypal social strivers.

A riotous story of friendship, debauchery, and pizza bagels.

The movie's crackpot message—'To make something special, you just have to believe it's special'—may best be proven by the existence of this funny, unpretentious crowd-pleaser.

Americans shouldn't have to feel comfortable with the thought of kicking back and having a beer with their President, but it's not a bad criterion for a comedy filmmaker, and Smith is that guy.

Despite its rusty mechanics and hodgepodge of tones, Pineapple Express convincingly imitates the mode of Midnight Run: on-the-run odd-couple comedy with gunplay and car chases.

The coup de grace comes in the form of Ginormica, a clever metaphor of figurative and literal female empowerment...Plus there’s lots of explosions.

With admirably funkiness and bold flavor, Hill has made the anti-Blart...but at a time when we've seen seven mass shootings in a month, do we really need the comedy version of Taxi Driver?

Spews noxious gas and obnoxious patter.

Agreeable enough fare for families craving a little action, comedy, and action-comedy.

50/50 isn’t interested in defeatism, except as one inevitable way station of the film’s appealing emotional ramble.

Polley’s fearlessness is one of many reasons I take no pleasure in saying that Take This Waltz stumbles.

Silly and nice, basically unfunny but basically innocuous—so as satisfying as your average leftovers.

This type of thing has already been diluted by...Funny or Die...The main difference...is that This is The End is profane in the extreme, an R-rated stoner comedy gleefully grafted onto a 'splatstick' horror picture...

All about the riff...it's not easy having less story than a Will Ferrell movie, but Neighbors is undaunted.

Determinedly silly...[but the] undisciplined frat-bro comedy's accumulation of innuendos, boner jokes, gay jokes, and gags that tread through racist and misogynist territory works out to less than the sum of the juvenile parts.

In attempting to 'pull back the curtain' on a man, reveals behind its own theatrical curtain nothing much worth paying attention to...

Had a lot going for it: a strong creative vision from authorial forces who would go on to take Hollywood, a talented cast that would essentially do the same, and that premise.

Diverting enough for date night...good enough for government work.
