102519, I saw it at Mann's Chinese 6 on Sat. night. I was expecting the same.

But folks were actually pretty well-behaved.

>I was grinning from the Universal logo onward
>(Using ODB's Shimmy Shimmy Ya, featuring the lyric "Ooo baby,
>I like it raw" is a funny joke in and of itself)

When I heard "nigger you can't even sing" I almost jumped up out of my seat and started Negro-moshing like we used to do to Onyx back in college. That whole opening sequence was perfect.

>I thought Leslie Mann stole the movie

She's got some serious chops. Her and Craig Robinson going toe to toe outside of that club was classic.

>And Heigl is damn pretty... but it's an odd, awkward kind of
>pretty to me

It's like she was created in a factory. So, I recognize that she's attractive, but she just doesn't do much for me. Kind of like how I feel about the Toyota Camry.

>My initial reaction was that it wasn't as funny as 40 Year-Old
>Virgin, but like I said, I have to see it again in a more
>civilized setting just to be sure

I feel the same way. But then again, I thought Virgin was one of the best comedies of the past 20 years.


>I agreed with a review that said it would have been nice to
>see if Alison had any friends, beside those three catty chicks
>she saw outside the baby store

That takes Apatow further away from what he clearly does best. Writing hilarious grown up slacker guy dialogue. Pass.

>Also, no love for Ryan Seacrest's rant? I thought it was
>funnier than just "Ooh, Ryan Seacrest's CUSSIN'!"

I just kept thinking, "Damn. Seacrest might weigh less than Katherine Heigl."
