Seriously, I'm glad he loves his wife, but she's not up to playing more than a small supporting character. Either get a really pretty girl or a really funy one -- stop trying to go halvsies.

Agreed. We all understand you love you wife and kids.. But these things get more than old.

I thought she did a great job.

I did, too. But the kids seem WAY too young for an R-rated movie! :D btw I'm kidding..it WOULD be interesting to see a PG movie with the kids...one of them:

"They're gonna have a baby, they're gonna make love..baby.....love.....baby.....love....a baby."

I like Appatow's family. Though that thing with the dog and the cream...

[–] dlup63 10 years ago

They all seem like a happy, down to earth and very fun family true, but they took up way too much of the movie. I actually liked the peanut butter game with the dog. It was actually cute.

honestly his family's presence in the movie was what kept it from being a much more enjoyable movie- the entire segment at the house with the kids was unbearable to watch and took the movie in a unneeded direction

i get it as well- judd you love your wife and kids, they are talented, we get it- its old and comes off as uncreative that you must cast them in every movie

Actually it didn't start get interesting until she was in it. Love the Ausie accent. Most of the time they were at her house it was funny. Chinese talk, Bloody mate.

Leslie is a rare combination of being both gorgeous and hilarious

Don't know why anyone would care that she married to director

[–] cocobug1 13 years ago

I just don't think she could've gotten as far in her career if not for who her husband is- give someoone else a chance!!

Do guys like "the thing"?
They like it better than no thing.

She obviously has control over him. Did you see Knocked Up? It's based on Judd Apatow's relationship with Leslie Mann. The guy is whipped.

[–] Lisafliny 13 years ago

I really like Leslie Mann but felt she was just a bit too much in this one. just a smidge

...and I am just going to have to feel this way until I DON'T feel this way ANYMORE!

[–] leedygray 13 years ago

Yeah, I hated her with a passion in knocked up. Both the women made women look like tight assed controlling bitches - yeeeach! I am sick of her too - that whiny little Minnie Mouse voice, and she's not funny. One or two movies, fine but practically all of them - overkill.

I simply am not there...

[–] Vendboygreg 12 years ago

She's great. Don't get the hate.
