This ain't no hollywood comedy

Judd Apatow, each time closer to Cassavettes, shoots in his house, with his family and friends (who happen to be some of the most talented hollywood comedians). Uses a real home video of his real daughter singing in school and makes a compelling, strange, almost documentary scene out of it. He makes a movie with nothing like a classic structure, the structure is free, its a modern film. He finally gives Adam Sandler the space and good direction to get his best. He makes a funny movie but at the same time a very bitter, dark movie. This ain't no hollywood movie. This is film d'auteur, and one of the most interesting movies of the year. My congratulations to Judd Apatow.
