I loved Knocked up, I felt Apatow did a great job mixing comedy and seriousness. But this was the definition of a sell out. They pimped this movie for a week on Comedy Central, only for it to be a zero percent comedy. I knew going in what to expect but I wanted at least a little more comedy. They hyped up that Randy dude, only to see him onscreen for maybe a minute.
Really what was the message of the movie? Don't go after your dreams, simply be happy with the the first girl that makes you happy. Typical Hollywood crap. I was hoping they'd take a chance and have Sandler die or at least focus a little more on the struggle comedians go through.
This movie would have been much better if a no name actor was in the leading role, but the fact they used some of Sandler's actual stand up footage from when he was younger and then tried to tell some corny story about living each day was awful. Maybe I can't lose myself in movies like some people, but this movie had a lot of potential and took the longest, worst road they could.
The movie was 2 and half hours long. Had the leading director in comedy at the moment (Judd Apatow), probably two of the biggest up and coming actors in comedy (Judah Hill and Seth Rogen), and Adam Sandler who's be dominating comedy for years, and dealt with the hardest aspect of comedy, stand up. And instead of taking a chance to give the public a look into the world of making them laugh they choose to waste the talent and do another "I know what's going to end up happening" Hollywood clunker. Waste of time, waste of money, waste of talent...
