Not as funny as Knocked Up

One of a few movies i sat down to watch this weekend, this being the only movie of the lot that i hadn't yet seen. Having really enjoyed it's predecessor 'Knocked Up' (#81 on my top 100 movies of all time list) I started this film with slight optimistic hope as i knew that it revolved around Kathy Heigl's sister and brother in law in the original, however neither Seth Rogen or Heigl were involved with this project. Although the next best thing to Rogen is Paul Rudd so here we go... I found this film contained no where near the laughs the first one did however it was still somewhat funny. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann both reprise their roles from Knocked Up as Pete and Debbie , 5 years after the events of Knocked Up Pete is approaching his 40th birthday and is entirely stressed out not only about his long marriage to Debbie but also his record label is struggling to say the least. Both Debbie and Pete are feeling major fatigue as a result of many years together as they plow further. The one thing i do appreciate was the fact that Director Judd Apatow kept the real life dialogue between the actors intact for this one as like i said lacks in the laughter department. Should've made this a drama in my own opinion.
