One of my favorite Rogen films. In fact, it wasn’t Seth Rogen who entertained me the most in the movie but Craig Robinson. His character of a barista who is frustrated by his marriage is perfect and his lines just cracked me up: "Can't you see we talking, white?", " I just wanted to see some free titties." Kevin Smith uses all types of comedy again, including crass, but that’s what I’ve come to expect of him and I usually have a lot of fun, so I have zero objection to it. I was just a bit annoyed by the overly sweet romantic scenes. Thankfully, the Dutch rudder at the end saved me from diabetes.

How is it that in just a few moments of a single movie, Kevin Smith strikes the romantic chord in our hearts stronger than all of the Julia Robertses and Meg Ryans put together? And despite these moments being surrounded by jokes relating to blowjobs and cunnilingus? Kevin Smith is a light in the darkness of Hollywood artificiality.

Even porn is art, it just has to be appreciated. But otherwise, it's a "traditional" Kevin Smith romance that breathes on the back of Chasing Amy. It’s definitely not the weakest Smith film, just a little different, or maybe a little more commercial, but it’s still its own, honest, and above all funny. And Elizabeth Banks is an angel.

An average comedy, I can't see it any other way. Unfortunately, I don't like the kind of edgy humor that has you plumbing the depths of vulgarity and perversity, and overall Mr. Smith's sense of humor just doesn't suit me. There is a lack of intelligent wit and romance and as a drama I find it pretty worthless.

At last a movie where I would have welcomed a couple minutes more. This way, although it is sexy, titillating foreplay that stretches your every nerve to the maximum, the act itself is too short to be at all satisfying. In other words, no orgasm. But so what, a lame dip is a dip all the same and lame Smith movie is still a Smith movie. However, I will never forgive Kevin for the absence of Bod and Jay (although Mewes is in fact Jay in Lester’s skin).
