I almost fell asleep

I think I may be the only person on the planet that just doesn't get Judd Apatow films. I saw this last night and thought this as people around me were laughing hysterically and I just sat there confused at what was so funny, kind of like what happens when I try watching Family Guy. Sure, there were a few times I laughed at some funny moments, but the Altman-style of directing of improvised acting and overlapping dialogue wore thin after about a half hour. Will Ferrell has been making silly movies like these for years, only his are tolerable because they only last for 90 minutes or less. This movie drags on to almost two hours which is too long (especially the plot about the girlfriend, which added nothing to the story). I actually could have gone along with the stoners who are caught up in something big, but in the last half hour, where Seth Rogen suddenly turns into this fighting, killing machine, I gave up.
