FunnyPeoplePosterIt would be unfair to compare this film to ‘s previous directorial efforts, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, since those were different types of movies.

is definitely a comedy-drama and even though there were scenes with plenty of laughs, there were also serious scenes within the film, and I thought that the film mixed the two genres well.

The features probably one of the best performances by Sander (who never looked older), as he plays mentor to (who never looked younger).

With most of Apatow’s regular supporting cast missing (except for ), the bulk of the film centers on Sandler’s and Rogen’s relationship.

I can’t say that the film is the funniest comedy of the year, but is still a pretty good film.
