What I liked:
- Leslie Mann is beautiful, funny, and she can act.
- Paul Rudd is always lovable.
- Maude and Iris Apatow are talented kids with great parents. I think it makes the story a little more believable that their movie mom is their real mom.
- Fantastic supporting cast: Jason Segel, Annie Mumolo, Robert Smigel, Megan Fox, Charlyne Yi, Graham Parker, Michael Ian Black, Chris O'Dowd, Lena Dunham, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow, Billie Joe Armstrong, Ryan Adams, and Melissa McCarthy.
- It was written and directed by Judd Apatow based of the same characters from Knocked Up.
- It is funny but it is also real, complicated, and serious. It's a dramedy.
- I LOVED all of the LOST love.
- A Mad Men shout out!
- Great soundtrack including an incredible new Fiona Apple song.
What I didn't like:
- No cameo by Katherine Heigl as Debbie's sister, Alison?
- There is an inappropriate scene about murdering kids.
- If you haven't seen LOST yet, warning - this movie contains huge spoilers.
- The marketing for this movies makes it out to be a non stop laughing fest when in fact, it is much more serious then that.
Grade: B+
