Amazing film, it ends, and then goes on FOR ANOTHER HOUR


Seriously, the first hour and a half were a beautiful, well written exploration of stand-up comedy, tragedy and facing mortality. And then the film wraps itself up nicely. Then Apatow adds on ANOTHER HOUR of completely pointless, stupid flailing about with a secondary story nobody gives a *beep* about, and the film goes from 10/10 to 5/10. How could nobody have told him to cut out the second half of what could have been a great film?

10/10? Someone must really like bad jokes about dicks.

Yea the second half really dragged it down. It felt like he could have made two different 90 min movies out of it.

good point. i never saw it that way and just rated the overall experience as a 1/10.
