I thought this movie was pretty funny as well, it was getting hammered in the reviews so I was reluctant to see it but it had quite a few laugh out loud moments for me.

I really enjoyed this movie for what it was.

It's nothing different. It's written by Seth Rogen and I could definitely see those 3 kids as the 3 from Superbad when they get older.

The kids were great.

Owen Wilson was his usual self. Which I enjoy his brand of comedy, if you don't you likely won't like the film.

Like Zeno above, this film had quite a few laugh out loud moments for me as well.

Another solid flick from Apatow and Co.

3.5/5

The movie was below average. Had some funny moments but didn't save it for me.

I liked it. If you go into it thinking it's going to be anything mmore than a mindless, formulaic comedy, you'll be disappointed, though.

"Dr. Illbit." ha.

Recently watched it. I was a bit disappointed. I usually find Owen Wilson very funny, but I thought he was pretty average in this one. This movie seemed a little weak for a Rogen and co. film.
