Director: Judd Apatow
Starring: Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
Running Time: 02 hours, 09 minutes
Rating: 8/10
I am a massive fan of Judd Apatow and his gang of Merry Men, I think it's because of my obsession with Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, and Knocked Up is probably my favourite of their film collaborations.
This is a film that isn't really about the leads, or even the plot, it's about the little interactions with the supporting cast. Yes, the jokes are immature, but that doesn't stop them from being funny. Incredibly funny.
No matter how many times I watch this, I will always laugh out loud.

Here we go. Thank you, acid.

Film: Wanderlust (2012)
Director: David Wain
Starring: Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux
Running time: 01 hour, 38 minutes
Rating 6/10
Sunday night film club: The Friday night edition and being that one of us wasn't feeling well and the other had just had their last (slightly manic) day at work for close to three weeks, we weren't feeling anything too heavy. A quick flick through CW's DVD collection and a general feeling of laziness lead to us pulling this from the top of the pile.
Neither of us had seen this before and, based on the reviews we had read, our expectations weren't particularly high. It might just have been that the timing was right, but we were pleasantly surprised.
Some jokes were obvious, some jokes were bad, however there were times that we did find ourselves laughing out loud. Paul Rudd is, as usual, exceptional (I think I love him a little too much), Jennifer Aniston is a consistently good comedy actress, although she does seem to be making the wrong project choices (in my opinion).
I won't be rushing out to buy the DVD, in fact I think I'll only watch this again if it's on the telly on a lazy Sunday night, but this is an inoffensive, easy to watch, comedy.
