Steve Carell, it's okay to say no sometimes.

 

How about say no to any non Judd Apatow related movie? I don't think he's made a good one where Apatow wasn't involved. I mean he had a supporting part in Bruce Almighty and that made a shit ton of money so therefore some people must like it and there's Little Miss Sunshine. But he's been in his fair share of duds. Bewitched, Sleepover, Evan Almighty, this movie most likely.

For what it's worth, there's a lot of positive buzz for this one right now. Early screenings have been very well received, and the screenplay has received a lot of praise. I've read parts of it, not much, but enough to know that it seems like it's of a higher quality than most flicks out there.

 

It really shouldn't be all that surprising since the writer/director (Peter Hedges) has produced high quality work in the past - he directed Pieces of April and wrote What's Eating Gilbert Grape, About a Boy, and Pieces of April.

 

My biggest problem with this is Dane Cook. Why people keep signing that guy is beyond me.
