step brothers, drillbit taylor, pineapple express, and forgetting sarah marshall; what do these movies have in common?
about an hour and a half of sub-par pithy dialogue/fart jokes, as well as sharing the distinction of trying to cash in on knocked up and 40 year old virgin's successes.
if you look at apatow's past movies and compare them to the present, you see a huge difference in quality. Kicking and Screaming, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, etc, were all very well written and acted, usually with subtle or dry humor. His latest showings are like someone gave a ****load of money to a bunch of seventh graders and said "make a movie about what you think is funny."
