So Hilar--!

Judd Apatow is building quite an empire. I think this is one of the best ensemble cast of the year because they made this film consistently funny from beginning to end. Although this film reminded me of the tragic "The Heartbreak Kid," this is infinitely better because it is bona fide in its humour and it has a big heart. Jason Segel's nudity is hilarious but despite that, it could serve as a metaphor because the audience really did see his character for who he is, his failures and successes. I'm glad Kristin Bell's character is not made to be the "villain" of the story. It's close to real life because the audience eventually discover why she broke up the relationship (and for good reasons). Jonah Hill and Russell Brand are nothing short of hilarious. Paul Rudd is great as always. Although he stole every scene he was in, I wish he had more screen time. Memorable scenes run abound such as the dracula song, the crime scenes, the puppet show, and little snippets here and there that are worth quoting. Even the credits has something special in it. This is one of my favourite films of the year so far. Watching it with friends makes it all the more rewarding so don't watch it alone!
