Opinion: Culture Warrior: Not-so-Funny People

03 Aug 2009 11:29:08 PDT

Written by Landon Palmer
With Funny People, Apatow avoids these criticisms altogether by finally making a movie that doesn’t conform itself to this repeated, and even exhausted, narrative approach, instead choosing to give a rare backstage look into the nature of comedy and what it is like to be a funny person. O...

Opinion: Junket Report: Funny People

31 Jul 2009 12:02:42 PDT

Written by Kevin Kelly
Dr. Cole Abauis makes a compelling argument about Funny People over in his review, and when I saw the film a couple of weeks ago, I felt exactly the same way. I mean, this movie is an Apatow film, and it stars Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, a slew...

Opinion: How Dare You Not Be Charmed By Judd Apatow's Publicity Tour?!

30 Jul 2009 12:09:28 PDT

Written by Natasha VC
In the waning days of his publicity blitz, Judd Apatow is blogging over at MTV in some kind of meta 'comedians-are- sensitive-beings-who-have-Google-alerts-and-read-them' promotion for Funny People. It's quite enjoyable! Oh Judd! We forgive you for Walk Hard:

Opinion: Is Judd Apatow's Funny People Ha-Ha Funny, Or Awkward Turtle "Funny?"

Written by Foster Kamer
Eegh. McCarthy goes on to slam Leslie Mann, and take us away from the Apatow and Sandler we want to see (like, incidentally, the last third of Funny People, apparently). But what'd the other trade in town think? Silly wittle Hollywood Reporter, show us what you've got:

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 ...

A look at one of the best romantic comedies of the year! Comedies like Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin have certainly had a profound effect on America, and the newest comedic release on DVD and Blu-ray has a lot to offer as well. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another masterpiece brought t...

Music Review: Pineapple Express Soundtrack

20 Aug 2008 06:01:26 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Interview: Pineapple Express Director David Gordon Green

03 Aug 2008 07:50:16 PDT

Written 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...

Review: 'Step Brothers' full of funny stuff

24 Jul 2008 21:58:00 PDT

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but producer Judd Apatow has another hit comedy on his hands. This time it's "Step Brothers," an astute no-brainer that's also Will Ferrell's funniest effort since "Talladega Nights."

Written by deadbeatjones
Saw a special premiere of the latest Judd Apatow-produced comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (opening April 18) last night. And, even though I have not seen Drillbit Taylor, I confidently state that this film makes up for that reel of celluloid dreck.

Walk Hard: An Early Review

16 Dec 2007 12:35:00 PST

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...

Opinion: AMPAS Event: Celebration of Comedy in Film with Judd Apatow, James L. Brooks and Larry Gelbart

13 Nov 2007 09:02:00 PST

Written by Patrick Walsh
Brooks' incredible skill of seamlessly blending laughter and heartbreak clearly made a huge influence on Judd Apatow (although from reading all the articles about him, you'd think Apatow invented the practice). Like Brooks, Apatow did a lot of television work (the classics Larry Sand...

Opinion: Canadian Author Suing Judd Apatow for Ripping Off 'Knocked Up'

Written 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...

Movie Review: Knocked Up

04 Jun 2007 01:35:01 PDT

Written 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...

Movie Review: Knocked Up

03 Jun 2007 18:49:11 PDT

Written 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...

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...

Movie Review: Knocked Up

31 May 2007 23:57:11 PDT

Written 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.

Movie review: Hilarious 'Knocked Up' a perfect balance of raunchy, sweet

31 May 2007 19:08:00 PDT

Everything you’ve heard about Knocked Up is true: It’s even more riotously and consistently hilarious than its predecessor, Judd Apatow’s 2005 sleeper hit The 40-Year-Old Virgin, with even greater heart. No small feat. As writer and director, Apatow has the rare ability to find just the...

Opinion: 'Knocked Up' gets fresh

31 May 2007 10:30:51 PDT

Written by By Robert W. Butler
Welcome to the new look in screen masculinity. Frizzy-haired. Flabby around the middle. Pasty-skinned. Doesn’t sound like a package that will give Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt any sleepless nights. But here’s the thing: Seth Rogen’s performance in “Knocked Up” is so funny, sweet and charming th...

Opinion: Judd Apatow Says Critics Are Always Right, Even If They’re Not

23 Mar 2007 06:41:07 PDT

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
I’ve admired Judd Apatow’s work even since Heavyweights in 1995. I’ve followed his career from The Cable Guy (which I loved) to the short lived Freaks and Geeks television show, which Apatow wrote and produced. Sure, Celtic Pride was really, really, REALLY BAD. And that’s coming from a Bost...
