The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It (2010)
Watch the first 10 minutes, then shut it off
A couple of my friends rented this on the off chance that it might be good. I looked at the title and figured it probably wouldn't be good, but I went through with watching it, hoping maybe it would be so bad that it actually became good.
It proved to be neither.
For about the first 10 minutes, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It actually provides a few good laughs. Stephen Kramer Glickman does a good job making fun of Seth Rogen's characters, and the humor, though somewhat juvenile, is still genuinely funny.
After this, however, the movie descends rapidly into an incoherent mishmash of movie and pop culture parodies drowned in excessive amounts of gross-out humor, leading the viewer to believe it was written by a 14-year-old virgin with ADHD.
On a brighter note, Noureen DeWulf is quite beautiful as the female lead character, Kim.
Overall, this movie does offer a few cheap laughs here and there. In fact, if you like shock films with gratuitous amounts of toilet humor, you may actually enjoy this film. Also, if you are an aspiring filmmaker or screenwriter who wants to know what absolutely not to do when writing or producing, I would consider this a good example to watch. For the rest of us, though, the funny moments of this movie are piled beneath such large amounts of garbage that they are simply not worth looking for.
