A Comedy Disguised As A Drama? Really?

star11

OK, first, let me say that I absolutely love both, Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen movies. But, this movie is a complete waste. Waste of time, waste of money, and a complete waste of brain cells. I usually do love and appreciate almost all of Apatow's movies. This one is just nothing close to what he has made in the past. Now that my rant is over, let's begin.

Story: Popular comedian finds out he has cancer. Tries to live everyday to the fullest. Bad idea, Hollyweird.

Acting: Horrible acting. To me, it seemed like they forced everything in this movie, especially Leslie Mann. She's just not great in this putrid mix. Really, her appearance in this movie made me very uncomfortable.

Direction: Usually, I do love almost all of Apatow's movies. But this one is the worst by far.

Visuals: Not enough, in my opinion.

Overall: I just refuse to say anything nice about this movie, because I was majorly cheated with this one.

Now that's out of the way, I want to conclude by saying that adding Eric Bana into this putrid mix was also a bad idea. To me, he's just another bad actor, like Tom Cruise. He started that too, by making HULK a bad movie.
