So, quick poll:

 

Is 40 year old virgin going to be funny or awful? Leaning toward funny, but it has the possibility of being a total bomb.

Well, I guess the movie really was Stealth because nobody saw it. And for some reason, I want to go see Red Eye.

It'll be your standard slapstick romantic comedy that you wont remember anything of it the next morning.

 

I'll go check it because it has the potential.

Hmm, doesn't look like Fantastic 4 is going to get near Batman Begins (199 million), so that's a good thing. I'm still depressed that Duece Bigilow made even 9.4 million.

 

40 Year Old Virgin is going to rock. Steve Carell can do no wrong.

I'm certain he can't.

 

He has a good comedic director behind him, was hilarious in Bruce Almighty and Anchorman, is hilarious on the Office and has a really good supporting cast behind him. So why don't you think it can work?

I'm quite happy that Deauce Bigelow didn't do that good. Maybe now Hollywood will stop letting Rob Schneider have his own movies.

 

40 Year Old Virgin seems funny, though I've actually heard some good stuff about Red Eye.

Deuce Bigelow made money? That's just shocking to me. I thought people would be turned off by the unnecessary sequelization of another movie again.

I have a friend that saw an advanced screening of 40 Year Old Virgin. He said it's one of the funniest movies he's seen this year....then again he hasn't seen Wedding Crashers yet.

The director is the guy behind Undeclared, so I'm confident this should be good.

Judd Apatow?

 

EDIT: I just looked it up and it is Judd. Judd was also an Executive Producer for Freaks and Geeks.

 

Aww and that is why Seth Rogen is in it. He was in F&G and Undeclared.

 

Now I have to see this movie.

Please ask him to provide a list of all the movies he has seen this year so we will have an accurate point of comparison.

The guys over at DVDTalk who have seen the movie already have been praising the hell out of it. They say that it's just flat out one of the funniest films ever. I thought it would be great the second I saw the trailer.

Rob Schneider's movies pretty much always make money. I'd rather invest in his flicks than many of the recent "blockbusters".

People have been asking me, and I don't know much.

 

Norm's trying to get back in the public eye again (Doing an appearance on the Tonight Show, and an East Coast comedy tour) so it wouldn't surprise me.

 

Bill Murray being in it seems a bit off, even though it claims to be written by his brother. We'll see, but I won't get too optimistic since the last movie Norm was supposed to be in at imdb never happened.

Just got back from 4 Brothers, definetly a solid flick, ranging on great at times but there was something lacking.

 

And by "something" I mean the language, sex and violence. When did Singleton get soft?
