I cringed every time Rudd said, ’slappin’ the bass’ …. takes courage to look so dorky.

Yeah, I should have delved into the supporting characters in my comments … Jaime and Jon are terrifice.

I totally agree. I thought the best thing about this movie was the believability factor (is believability a word, or did I just make it up? It Sunday morning and the minds a bit blurry).

Peter and Zooey’s relationship is very real. I love the part where he won’t stop playing air guitar – it is so silly and so real.

I like Jason Segel in this role. You make a good point about Seth Rogan – I have totally tired of him, and he would have ruined this role. That said, the character of Sydney is not entirely likable. His disrespect for women is blatent, but again, probably a realistic portrayal of the guy he was playing.

I thought the entire cast was just about perfect. Jaime Pressly and Jon Favreau were hysterical (and I know a couple EXACTLY like them).

I didn’t expect to like this one and I don’t think the previews really did it any favors. I thought it was going to be just another sophomoric movie with cheap jokes and shallow characters. I was happy to be proven wrong.
