She hit the nail on the head. There IS this very strong pro-life message, but they really went overboard with the graphic nature of some of the scenes. Also the profanity: the f-bomb just isn’t funny. The only times I’ve seen the f-bomb actually carry a funny scene came during “Planes Trains and Automobiles”, and “GlenGarry Glen Ross”.

But the continuous profanity kept draining my sympathy for these two. You root for Seth Rogan because you just know he’s going to come around, but getting there is so painful at times, it’s almost not worth the trip.

I’ve been a big fan of Judd Apatow since “Freaks and Geeks”, but I think he sold out to the “gross-out” genre instead of building a great movie around smart - not tasteless - dialogue and imagery.

If you liked GlenGarry GlenRoss, you'll love this.

Glen & Gary & Glen & Ross (Warning: Extreme Profanity, but very funny)

What’s good about the movie is that its pro-life message is hip and potent and will be delivered to an audience that usually hears only the opposite.
