Judd Apatow

By David Baxter Yup, Eminem is in Funny People. It’s only a cameo, so I’m guessing that it’s just the one scene, but regardless, MTV has a look at him in character, which appears to be himself, chatting with Adam Sandler’s George Simmons. Judd Apatow also told MTV what it was like to direct the Detroit rapper:

By Rob Hunter The Zookeeper is being directed by Frank Coraci, whose sole quality film (The Wedding Singer) was made over ten years ago.  Since then he’s brought us The Waterboy, Around The World In 80 Days, And Click.  On the plus side the spec script did sell last year for $2 million, so it must be really go...

By Neil Miller Alright Judd Apatow, you win this round (again). His upcoming film Funny People follows the story of a successful stand-up comedian turned actor named George Simmons, played by Adam Sandler. And in the film there are several movies within movies, decidedly bad comedies that in which Geor...

 TX Look at the rise of R-rated comedies, driven by filmmakers like Judd Apatow, and movies from Knocked Up to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Ten years ago, comedies were almost strictly PG affairs. Even the lusty, busty ribaldry of Austin Powers: The Spy Who ...

Considerably better is Judd Apatow at his best. I laughed loud and often while watching “Knocked Up,” but I also found myself rooting for Seth Rogen's and ... and more »

 Australia Now I'd imagine if a sequel were to happen, it'd have to not only have the blessing of producer Judd Apatow, and maybe even the original writers (Seth Rogen being one), but Tom Rothman would have to be a huge fan of the movie to want to do it. ...

Judd Apatow needs more time. He's got a ton of material for his upcoming Adam Sandler/Seth Rogen comedy “Funny People”—footage that both made it into the movie and was left on the cutting room floor. Which is why the film will likely have an ...

 CA - Connie Ogle Funny People: Judd Apatow tries his hand at being a little bit serious with this film about a comedian (Adam Sandler) who, forced to face mortality, takes a young comic (Seth Rogen) under his wing. Apatow's wife Leslie Mann co-stars. ...

By Cole Abaius We haven’t had a reminder that Judd Apatow is the producer of every film ever in a long time, and we won’t until Funny People and Year One come out this summer. Unless he secretly produced Obsessed which had his brand of humor all over it. Since the last time we heard from him was with Pineapple Ex...

Baltic Times  WI - Phil Martinez With the recent Judd Apatow hits “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express,” this form of comedy has had a resurgence that continues with the most recent in the genre, the aptly named “I Love You Man.” “I Love You Man” is what most would dub a simplistic buddy ...

By parkrangerolivia What happens when Judd Apatow is too busy with his own films to take on another? The result is a planned script that tries to haphazardly include improvised jokes. These stand-alone incidents are, sadly, what carries the film of this connect-the-dots plot. Like dancing around a basebal...

Exclaim!  OH Role Models doesn’t have Judd Apatow’s name anywhere on it, but it might as well have. There’s not much here to distinguish it from the recent spate of Apatow and Co. productions, except for the absence of Seth Rogen, and its men behaving like boys ... Role Models DVD Talk

By Alex Billington Another one of my favorite parts of the Oscars ceremony last night was the Pineapple Express comedy segment featuring James Franco and Seth Rogen. In case you didn't know, it was written and directed by Judd Apatow and also featured the real Oscar winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski....

By Alex Billington Funny People is both written and directed by comedy mastermind Judd Apatow, of 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, as well as "Freaks and Geeks", previously. The story in the film is inspired by Apatow's own real life experiences. Universal is debuting Funny People in theaters on July 31st th...

During a freeform conversation, Tom and Derrick reminisce about their own experiences going to the movies, discuss the way the movie theater business ha...

By Christopher Rosen The pitch for the show sounds... well, like every other Judd Apatow based rip-off we've seen in the last few years. Still, we guess it's about time that the Apatovian comedy style returned to television. And while Mr. Apatow isn't directly involved in this project, we're sure Mr. Rogen will be a ca...

By Alex Carnevale Kevin Smith wants what Judd Apatow has. Using elements of the New Jersey director's brilliant comedies Clerks and Chasing Amy, Apatow built a foul-mouthed comedy empire where Smith's films always fell short of major box-office success. As the film opens this weekend, does Zack and Miri M...

By Scott Weinberg Although he's been peddling his own brand of potty-mouthed comedy since 1994, Smith seems more or less reinvigorated by the successes of a producer named Judd Apatow. Starting with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Apatow has written, produced, and/or directed some of the most popular R-rated c...

By Staff Pineapple Express is the newest film produced by Judd Apatow and brought to you by the guys who made Superbad. It is co-written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Rogen also stars as Dale Denton, a process server, hated by many (subpoenas don’t tend to make people happy). To cope with his job, Dal...

By Kevin Gustafson I smelled the Pineapple Express soundtrack before my editors even dropped it into my lap. While I don’t normally review music CDs, I wanted to do this one since the movie is the best comedy so far this year. Judd Apatow produced Pineapple Express and he usually picks good songs. However, the mu...

By Alex Billington If you haven't already heard, Pineapple Express is yet another solid comedy in the vein of Apatow's previous hits and definitely will reignite the stoner genre. I'm amazed that David was able to see easily jump from a dark drama to a hilarious comedy and make it seem so easy - which is what I wa...

By Brad Brevet More questions popped up. Someone asked about test audiences to which Judd Apatow answered, “I use test audiences to determine how much penis you can show in a movie and not clear a room,” referring to tests for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

By Mycah Here’s what the director, writers and cast had to tell us about Pineapple Express: Rogen: Yes. Rogen: It’s true. Rogen: No. It’s true. Rogen: Good times. Rogen: He stayed in character. Rogen: …riffing. Rogen: Cock. Pineapple Express opens in theaters on August 6th.

The last time we heard from Roseanne Barr was before she signed to do a run at the New York-New York. That gig came and went and now Barr is playing through May at the Sahara. She spoke to Steve about the differences between working at opposite ends of the Strip, about giving Judd Apatow and Joss W...

Jason Segel is the latest Freaks and Geeks alum given the chance to headline his own film, under the watchful eye of producer Judd Apatow.  Audiences are most familiar with Segel from his role as Seth Rogen’s roommate in Knocked Up, and his weekly role on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother. This time, S...

With Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, filmmakers Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow have created one of the most unique movie experiences in years. The film works equally as a musical parody for fans in the know, but also as standard farce for less-knowledgable moviegoers. Plus, it's an outstandin...

During the interim, Rogen would move to Los Angeles and be discovered by Apatow when the latter was casting his high school–set TV show, Freaks and Geeks. Although Freaks was cancelled, Rogen would remain on Apatow's crew list, serving as a writer and cast member on the TV show Undeclared a...

By Mollie My husband is a huge Judd Apatow fan, which means we saw the crassly-named film Knocked Up on the night it came out. The film is not religious, save a few mentions of the protagonist’s Judaism. But coverage of the film has touched quite a bit on religious themes.

By Peter Lattman The Law Blog has yet to see “Knocked Up,” but we will. Not only is it among the best-reviewed movies of the year, but we also like to think we were early on the Judd Apatow bandwagon. We’re huge fans of his cancelled TV series “Freaks and Geeks.” Why are we bothering you with this? [...]

By Scott Weinberg Filed under: Comedy, Universal, Celebrities and ControversyYou might think Judd Apatow's Knocked Up is a pretty "universal" story, right? (And I don't mean just the production companty.) A booze-fueled one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy, which in turn leads to an uncom...

By Chris Holmes Apatow, for those not familiar with him, has produced some of the biggest hit comedies of the last five years, including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. But while those movies were essentially really long sketches that relied on star power (Will Ferrell a...

By Chris Beaumont Judd Apatow, serving as writer and director, once again delivers a great comedy that puts the vast majority of other Hollywood comedies to shame. He is a talent that cannot be ignored. He has delivered a movie that is easy to get into, easy to identify with, and really digs to the heart of the ma...

By Patricia Chui Knocked Up Why It Might Do Well: Judd Apatow, who directed, is a genius. There, I said it. I could go on and on about his brilliant, prematurely canceled TV show Freaks and Geeks, but many more people know about The 40-Year-Old Virgin, a sweet, smart, hilarious movie that was the runaway comed...

Writer/Director Judd Apatow tells us about his new comedy, "Knocked Up."

By Erik Davis Once Monday morning rolls around, two things will be certain: 1) Everyone who did see Knocked Up over the weekend will find it to be the funniest film of the year so far, and 2) Judd Apatow will officially become the proud father of an instant classic. Both will happen fast -- almost instantan...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) I first became aware of Apatow’s comedy with the short lived cult television show Freaks & Geeks. I later realized that Apatow was behind The Cable Guy, a very underrated dark comedy starring Jim Carrey. But enough about Apatow, let’s talk about Knocked Up.

By Monika Bartyzel Filed under: Comedy, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, WarWriting about these two directors is like grabbing both ends of the spectrum. On one hand, you have Judd Apatow and his upward trajectory. Over the years, he's slowly built critical cred for himself, moving from panned p...
