"Piven finally finds a vehicle where he can play to his strengths. After the problems with Smoking Aces and his other recent feature attempts, Jeremy Piven wisely chose a role that audiences can accept him in. The Ari Gold typecasting works in Piven's favor with The Goods. The script is full of hystercal gags and funny jokes. There are plenty of lame stabs in the comedic dark, but when every scene has a funny moment, you can't help but walk away with a satisfied smile. I don't believe that I've ever seen a film with the sheer number of jokes and gags that The Goods offers. Piven is perfectly cast as the maestro of car salesmen. Will Ferrell makes another gut-busting cameo as his dead best friend. James Brolin and David Koechner have a hysterical storyline of unrequited bi-curious love. But the scene stealer of this romp is Kathryn Hahn in a portrayal of a sex-starved sales seductress. It's not Wedding Crashers, 40-year Old Virgin, or Old School, but it's definitely in the strong sec ... "

""Andy" (Steve Carell) is pretty nerdy. He drives a bicycle to work every day, he watches "Survivor" with his neighbors every week and has a very impressive classic toy collection that fills every room of his apartment. While at an after-work poker game, his co-workers/friends figure out that he's a virgin -- a 40-year old virgin. His friends then put themselves on a mission to get him some. He then meets a wonderful woman, who he becomes strongly attracted to, but is afraid of taking it all the way with her. There is absolutely very little to like about this film. Most of the jokes are just too over-the-top to be funny, while others produce a chuckle. Others are set up so you see the punchline coming from a mile away. The plot is too predictable. You just knew that "Andy" was going to lose his virginity before the closing credit rolled. You also just knew how the supporting cast was going to be when they learned "Andy's" little secret. The performances from the entire cast are pret ... "

"Kevin Smith has a right to be pretty bitter right now. For years, he's been blending raunch and romance with equal measure, to middling box office results. From his grungy little breakthrough, “Clerks,” in 1994, to the polished “Chasing Amy” to the not-as-bad-as-it's-rumored-to- be “Jersey Girl,” Smith has never shied from the messy sexual side of relationships in dialogue that some of the closest couples dare not discuss. Meanwhile, writer/director Judd Apatow snuck into the kingdom and stole the crown, basically covering the very same turf in films such as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

"We can thank Christopher Guest for pulling her out of obscurity and casting her as a lesbian dog trainer in Best in Show. Or we can just thank her incredible talent for stealing scenes by way of riotous awkward comedy. Either way, this week we should remember to be thankful for Jane Lynch. You may have seen her recently in Role Models as the formerly coke-addicted founder of a mentoring organization. Or maybe you’ve seen her in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights or Guest’s A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration. In most of her roles, she plays opposite the best comedians in the business, yet she still supplies her films w "

"This was a film I saw in theaters with absolutely no expectations. The previews, the poster, even the cast made it seem like an incredibly unoriginal studio vehicle. I refused to pay attention even to the most positive of reviews that the movie was getting--even my favorite critic's 3 1/2 star review of the film (88% on Metacritic). So, I walk into the theater with a few of my friends, hating myself for being a part of the crowd of half-drunk teenagers and their most recent of partners filing into the auditorium and talking very loudly about the stupidest things imaginable. My friends insisted that it was supposed to be "Funny as shit dude!" My pre-formed opinions were almost completely proven with a generic opening sequence that involved a happy Cake song, teeth brushing, and early morning cereal and television in pajamas. I was ready for nearly two hours of pompous bashing of the film with my friends. And then, Jason Segel's dick pops out. "Oh my goodness!" I thought. The ... "

"A friend with weed is a friend indeed. That is the lesson to be extracted from the latest comedy off the Judd Apatow assembly line, “Pineapple Express.” While it may get anti-marijuana advocates abuzz with consternation, it's a sweet little trip until a dramatic shift to violence quite literally calls the cops to this feel-good party. “Express” is laced with guffaws and gunplay, and while not as startlingly schizophrenic as this summer's “Hancock,” it still feels as though its personalities are squished together in such a forced fashion, it threatens to disrupt the good vibes it garners through much of the film. And, like all of Apartow's blockbuster comedies before it (“Knocked Up,” Superbad,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”), it overstays its welcome by at least 30 minutes. Imagine, if you will, an entire film devoted to the ganja-clouded escapades of Brad Pitt's Floyd, the moviewestoner he portrayed in Tony Scott's &ldqu ... "

A 'Step' in the wrong direction

"I get the whole arrested development-style of comedy invading theaters of late. “Old School” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” really opened wide the door of such man-boy-based humor. So it was only logical that the star of the former and the director of the latter get together to produce yet another trip to Neverland, where modern-day Peter Pans can dance with their Lost Boy compadres. The result is “Step Brothers,” which teams Will Ferrell with John C. Reilly as two men in their 40s whose remora-like existence is severed when their single parents decide to marry. Where Judd Apatow's “Virgin's” lead was more of an introverted geek who otherwise led a normal, self-sufficient life by societal standards, Ferrell and Reilly play two infantile sluggards whose puerile, petulant behavior and refusal to let go of their parents' proverbial hands would cause Oedipus himself to proclaim, “Man, those guys are messed up!” &nbs "

"I'm choosing to review Step Brothers not because I have anything incredibly insightful to say about it, or that the movie inspired an intense reaction, but because I've given this movie a 4 star rating on Spout and feel like I need to qualify that a little. For those reading this on my Working Dead Productions site, a rating of 4(out of 5) literally means 'I liked it.' And I did. Kinda.Oh sure, I got my two hours worth of laughs out of it, but in the end, I don't feel that there's really anything to recommend watching the full movie over the trailer. You get the joke in that short 2-3 minute montage of clips. The only joke. Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly are 40 year olds that aren't just man-children, but children whose bodies have become man-sized. There's some funny bits in between, some of it quite hilarious, and seeing Ferrel and Reilly dropping F-bombs at the top of their lungs never really loses it's comedic charm, but in the end, you see the trailer, you see the movie.

"While I’m still upset by all the bad buzz related to Indiana Jones and the Movie That’s Not Even in Theaters Yet, I find this story at least a little uplifting, as it’s for a great cause. Harrison Ford, who sits on the board of directors at the environmental organization, Conservation International, appears in a new PSA focused on the harms of deforestation. To show us how much it hurts the earth, Ford’s seen having his chest hair yanked out, a la Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. But does it really hurt, Harrison? Because you didn’t scream or wince at all. I know you’re a tough guy action hero, but it would really drive the point more if we could see the man behind Indy/Han Solo/Jack Ryan/President Marshall/etc. start yelling and maybe even shed a tear from pain. Nevertheless, I appreciate the "

"Perhaps it’s a certain soft spot for the navigator of my awkward adolescent journey, John Hughes; maybe it’s the affable charisma of lead Owen Wilson (who, even off his game as he is here, is just someone with whom you want to share a beer); or it could be the overall throwback tone of the film’s less-ironic, less-cynical high school setting.Whatever the reason, I quite enjoyed “Drillbit Taylor.Hughes, the arbiter of public school angst, originally scribbled the screenplay for the new comedy and allowed it to languish for the better part of two decades before it was dusted off by reigning comedic king Judd Apatow (“Knocked Up
