Why all the hate?!?

I thought I would check out Seth's profile to see what people were saying about him and his new movies and was so shocked to see all this hate directed towards him. Everyone I know loves his movies, including me and I think he is a great actor.
Yes, he does play the same kind of character in lots of his movies, but I for one find that character hilarious. He is the most relatable hollywood actor around and I think thats why I find him so funny. I can totally see my friends or me acting like that in real life.
Fair enough, I dislike a few actors, but I do not have enough time on my hands to go onto their imdb pages and b**tch about them. What is the need? If you don't like him, ignore him. Dont watch his films, no one is making you. He's probaly my favourite comedy actor just now and he seems like a genuinely nice guy....

Got no problem with his acting, I just don't think he's that funny and I hear he's an a-hole in real life too.

Do IMDb a favor and ignore Frantique_Fromage

I don't hate Rogen at all but the movie he's about to make with Barbra Streisand just may change all of that!

I don't get the hate either. I don't hate him and he's not that bad.

he's not supposed to be a brilliant serious actor, he's supposed to be over the top funny and not subtle, which he does well.

He seems like a good guy

He is just the newer generations Jason Biggs. Next year there will be another guy just like him. I don't think his movies are particularly funny and he is usually the one who seems to struggle with toilet humor. I watched Funny people recently and that movie just sucked. I know it was only partly him but the other movie where he plays the mall security guy was just awful. Why bother making stuff like that? That was a complete waste of my time, his time, and anyone elses time who viewed that garbage. We need more funny people, not schmoes who suck cashing in on mediocre genres. I know the movies now are largely lame. It doesn't mean you have to make lame movies and call yourself an artist. He's just a douche who is laughing all the way to the bank. Maybe it isn't his fault? Maybe it has to do with every movie he's in has horrible dialogue written along with dumb plots written for morons. Does anyone think in real life he would ever have a chance meeting Katherine Heigl and having sex with her? Ummmm no!

He's terrific, only two films he's participated in have I disliked - 'The Green Hornet' and 'Drillbit Taylor'.

But the rest are great, especially the likes of 'Knocked Up', 'Pineapple Express', 'Superbad' etc

and a COKE....i'm sorted
