Sex Comedy Roundup
Knocked Up: meandering, plotless, and not all that funny. Except when Paul Rudd is onscreen.
Superbad: sweet, vulgar, and not all that funny. Pretty great nonetheless, though. The film equivalent of Doing It, with fuckup cops thrown in. Michael Cera is slowly becoming a hugely important actor, at least for me.
Both films are worth seeing if only to see Martin Starr aka Bill Haverchuck all grows up in a stoner beard and all. Give that man a starring role!!
Now if we could just get a sex comedy in which the women get to play equal parts.

I thought Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse were both good in their roles. I think what didn't work for me, really, was Seth Rogen, which might have been part of my problem with Knocked Up as well. I enjoyed him in Freaks and Geeks, but he wasn't expected to carry as much weight on that show. I liked Bill Hader more than I expected to, and if he'd had someone else to bounce off of the cop stuff might have worked for me a little better.
