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've known a lot of them too, and just didn't find them charming and cute-haha-funny AT ALL, which was how they were portrayed here. Not nearly enough arc for my taste on either side. Nor enough funny.

Oh, I see what you mean. And yeah, I agree.
