Sex Comedy Roundup

[snurri]

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'm so glad to see Michael Cera's career taking off like it is. I enjoyed him so much in "Arrested Development," he seemed so genuine in every episode...everyone on that show was great, but his contribution seemed fairly effortless. He's fun to watch.

Yeah, I think he hadn't stood out to me on the show at first, because he just seemed like he was playing himself. But really, it's just that he's so understated.

Have you seen Clark and Michael, the net-only show he did with his buddy Clark? It's genius.
