He's disgusting. No offense to Melissa McCarthy, but he's the male equivalent of her character in Bridesmaids - in everything he's done, even after he lost a bulk of the weight. But he gets to fool around with Katherine Heigl and Elizabeth Banks, among others? This is such an affront to both of them, and to average looking men and women everywhere. Judd Apatow decided that Rogen is funny, that's fine, but at least cast someone who is closer to his physical equal opposite him in this type of movie. Like maybe Shelly Duvall or Kathy Bates.
This is insulting to people that do not look as good as Taylor Lautner or whatever. You are pretty much saying because he doesn't look good he can't fall in love with a pretty woman. Anyone can fall in love so stop saying he can't because he isn't as handsome as other actors
i agree, i am a straight guy but i don't think he's ugly. i phrase it like that cause there are some REAL UGLY guys out there and in real life there are ugly women out there that you do wonder what some guys would see in them.
i don't ask them either. at lest Seth Rogen doesn't look like Danny Tejo who is a great actor by all means. but one UGLY ASS DUDE!
yet there are women i'm sure that are great looking he's dated through the years. in short to each their own i guess. if you look at some of these lists on here where some people give their own thoughts about this ugly person or that ugly person. for good looking ones they put some of the ugliest women or men.
but if that's their taste than that's their taste i don't hold it against them. people Crack on Kevin Smith & what his wife looks like cause he's fat. well again to each their own. not all women or men go by looks.
You're right, that was harsh. But I'm just sick of the double standard. It's basically a running joke that in TV sitcoms, the wife is usually really attractive but the husband is a schlub (King of Queens, the one with Jim Belushi, etc.). Rogen does gross me out, but that's a matter of taste. I just wish Hollywood would do a movie where Melissa McCarthy gets to make out with George Clooney - why is that less believable than Rogen & Heigl or Rogen & Banks? So, yeah, I didn't mean my statement to be as nasty as it sounded. I was speaking to Hollywood standards, not real life standards. I've seen couples in real life where the guy was more attractive than the woman, and vice versa. Why don't they ever show that one in the movies? That's all I was trying to say, but I said it badly. I apologize.
Are you kidding? Seth Rogen's partner is way more attractive than Melissa McCarthy and he hooked up with her before he was famous.
Melissa McCarthy making out with George Clooney is about 10 times less believable than Seth Rogen making out with Elizabeth Banks, even if it's not something that you would see regularly in real life but you would still occasionally see it.
Moreover, how is Seth Rogen presented as 'attractive' in either film? In Knocked Up Heigl can't believe she even hooked up with him, and in Zack and Miri they were long-term friends. The only film i have ever seen where Seth Rogen got to hook up with a really good looking woman was 50/50, and that did seem unbelievable, but in both Knocked Up and Zack and Miri there is an explanation behind the unlikely, or at least less likely, hook up.
oh it's ok. you didn't piss me off or anything. but you never know how some people can take it. also you are wrong about one thing "The King of queens' wasn't with Jim Belushi that was According to Jim' with i forget her name honestly but Belushi's weight goes up & down. sometimes he's at a decent weight other times he's overweight.
now look at say "The Sopranos" did i spell that right? well James G. i can't spell his last name sorry. he put on the weight for the role & the reason he did it was cause you know how Mob bosses are portrayed as fat most of the time. i haven no idea if they actually are. but i'm just going by how they are normally played. something tells me i don't want to know either. he he.
anyways i do agree on Lautner. he's funny looking. yet women love him. & he can't act his way out of a pre-school play. & that's the ONLY reason he's got a job in hollywood is cause of his looks. Brad Pitt is another dude who can't act
but is good in a couple of films. given the right director. but most of the time he can't act. oh Kevin James was on "The King of Queens' actually if you look at that CBS show "Mike & Molly' or whatever that show is called that's the rarity where a fat guy is with an over-weight woman. i dunno their names so that's why i put it like that. i think the same thing goes for how some women or gay men
complain about hollywood. where you can have a naked woman well say in the new film Magic Mike. there's from what hear naked women in that. but no naked men oddly. & that's a double standard as well. while i don't want to see some dude's dick. i can understand why women would get pissed if they don't show it. as for fat men with good looking wives on tv. maybe they are saying to men that fat men can get good looking women too. yet it is odd that they don't give that same message to women. one example in real life where an ugly hoe is with a good looking guy is Tori Spelling. she's ugly as sin. & he looks like a model.
i don't see the attraction at all. but i got to add this the actress who played "Blossom' on that show she's on 'The Big Bang Theory" now she's a pretty good actress i think. i've always thought she was ugly but i think she's good actress. though her on the show is dating or something a skinny nerdy dude. that's something i guess. cause she don't look like no model that's for damn sure.
also i think on some shows i think they touch upon the fat girl not getting the good looking guys. & if they put them together they have drama ensue. while that isn't my type of women to each their own. it's nice that women that size can get roles in hollywood. oh another one Queen Latifah. or however ya spell her name? on Living Single she was heavier than she is now.
she's pretty as hell & they'd write in these model looking dudes for her to date. but she's skinnier now than she was than. & even at her fatest they'd write that in for her. so i guess they at times do make an exception. just NOT enough though oh sorry about my ramblings here. he he
also you are wrong about one thing "The King of queens' wasn't with Jim Belushi that was According to Jim' with i forget her name honestly but Belushi's weight goes up & down.
You missed the comma. The poster was trying to say "The King of Queens" & that show with Jim Belushi (According to Jim) as both being examples of the common sitcom trope of dumpy looking guys with younger, hot actresses playing their wives. He wasn't trying to say that Jim was the star of King of Queens.
I'm sorry but it's been my personal experience in real life that you sometimes see good looking women with ugly guys. You often see couples where both are good looking or both are ugly. For whatever reason what you almost never see is a good looking guy with an ugly woman, so why should movies be any different?
I've seen it. i've seen ugly women with good looking guys. i just think to myself well eegah but than i also think well to each their own i guess. i don't walk up to them and ask this guy this.
i've also seen ugly guys with good looking women. also here's something else a friend of mine married an ugly dude. he's not seriously ugly like say danny trejo.
but she's good looking. they have 2 kids now. than there's an old band tribute band to Fleetwood mac i used to go and see a few years back. than i was talking to a dude at work and his wife's aunt i believe is the singer of the tribute band. ok. well she's fine as well. and going by what he told me she as long as he's known her has always been the ugliest guys. and even married an ugly dude.
so it does happen. it just doesn't happen all the time.
I adore Seth Rogen. I believe it's because of his stint on Freaks and Geeks. My current boyfriend has his mannerisms actually, that explains that I guess, haha.

Funny? I guess everyone has their own definition of who they think is funny besides who they think is good looking as well. I don't find Rogen funny at all. Funny looking, yes. But that doesn't constitute someone as a great comic actor or comedian.
And to greenjae and bremami: My condolences. I'm really curious to see how both of you look. And of course most girls (attractive or otherwise) would do Rogen now because he's rich and famous, so girls saying they'd do him now doesn't surprise me.

Seriously who gives a *beep*? It's people like you who make this world 1 step closer to an infernal pit of *beep* hell. If it were up to you I think you'd create ugly camps and have everyone who doesnt fit your standards gassed. You Hitler mother *beep* You Ugly hating perfect human being!
Wha? What about Shallow Hal? That had a ginormous girl with an average guy, Paltrow with Black. Granted she's not fat in real life, but they did it there.
