SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

At first I thought it was rather amusing but that lasted for about five minutes and then it was like ho-hum. It seems that the writers really didn't know what they were doing when they wrote this screenplay and the actors are just simply "phoning it in." Even Groban's acting like he's a bad musician is such an epic fail. I get it, he likes to play characters that are the opposite of him but this whole, "Hey, I'm supposed to be this nice guy but I like playing the d-bag" routine is getting OLD. Also, joking about the ex-roommate who died of AIDS? THAT'S NOT COOL! I like sarcasm and I can watch things that have insulting humor with no problem but you know what? I also know when to draw the line. If you're going to watch this movie, make sure you're high or drunk first because it's obvious that's who they were trying to attract...STONERS.

you'll like this movie. Witty, funny comedy from a group of fairly unknown actors, whose future looks pretty bright (will Adrianne Palicki become the new Jennifer Aniston?). You get an Arrested Development feel from the comedy, probably because the film's writer was one of the writers for Arrested Development and My Name is Earl, so the humor is similar. The jokes are risky but not raunchy,the characters are interesting, though slightly predictable.The movie comes off as fun, not preachy or burdened with moral judgment or life lessons. There's a funny cameo from Matt Walsh who seems to be everywhere these days, So if your looking for pure comedy this is your movie, sit back and enjoy.

I found this film by accident and am glad I did. What a great film, great comic timing, a great storyline and a great cast. Yes I thought the film was great. The film harks back to the films Kevin Smith made in the beginning of his career and I wish he had continued. I thoroughly enjoyed this film from its brilliant and creative opening credits to its little jokes in the end credits. There were actual laugh out loud moments and I really think that Josh Groban stole the show.The cast worked well together and they all seemed to enjoy the film. The extras, down to Phil's happy birthday opera being dismissed was really funny. Those who hate politically incorrect jokes may not enjoy the film as much as I did, but if you just enjoy a joke for the sake of a joke then this film is one to see.

This is one of those films that grabbed me right off the bat with it's true-to-life dialogue and immensely fun detailing of the small but hilarious things we all experience in daily life but have never taken the time to put into words. It's the movie version of GOOD stand-up comedy, and while I'm not much of a reviewer, I wasn't ten minutes into this before I felt an insatiable obligation to share the pleasure with someone. Which seems like a natural sentiment considering how much charm this movie derives from its relatability.The plot is simple enough and seems sufficiently outlined in IMDb's summary, so I won't repeat it here. Note: For fans of, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", Glenn Howerton brilliantly deadpans the same type of semi-sociopath we've grown to...love to laugh and shake our heads at. He makes this film a treat. But what makes this movie truly engaging is its ability to produce a seemingly nonstop stream of jokes so personally relevant to the viewer and our daily lives, as to make one feel as if they're just as much of an insider to the humor as they are a witness. The dialogue's pace is its other strong suit. An off-hand remark may be overlooked by the characters as their attention is diverted elsewhere (along with the viewers') and and may have you intermittently wishing for a pause button in order to better relish just how funny these gems are. But by maintaining its momentum, the movie is allowing the viewer to catch some of these fastballs themselves, which of course, makes them that much more enjoyable. I'd compare its pacing with that of NBC's 30 Rock, but by replacing Rock's off-brand style of quirky jokes with the off-beat dialogue of a quirky character? The increase in humor just explodes exponentially. Really, this movie is THAT funny. If you're anything like me and not generally a laugh out loud type of person when it comes to cinema, I'll bet you'll find yourself coming out of this feeling like I did...that you really didn't have much of a choice in the matter!Many Kudos to CollegeHumor for that rare comedy that you'll probably want to watch again immediately after your first viewing so as to be better prepared for the onslaught of funny.
