...but it's not.
I know there are many sub genres in comedy universe and after watching first 5 minutes of this masterpiece I realized it's not my type of comedy I like to watch. It's just vulgar, presenting the lowest level of toilet humor. While I like that sort of humor (when I'm in a mood), I feel that most comedies in modern times suffer from lack of charm and charisma of main characters.
I don't know why but John Belushi had both. Seth Rogen seems to not have any charm or charisma. He's more funnier when he's doing interviews.
I really wanted to watch this movie because I love Rose Byrne - she's wonderful, but she's wasting time and talent on participating in such movies like this.

So yeah, I haven't watched it, therefore no score, but if I had to give those 5 minutes any score, it would be 2/10. Instead I added this movie to my "avoid" list with other masterpieces like Twilight, Underworld: Awakening, Step Up 2: The Streets :>

Honestly, this film as it was made, wouldn't have been good in any decade. It was bad.

The idea would have worked though if it were made in the 80's and someone like Chevy Chase had played the married man. I thought Rogen was great in Superbad, but I honestly haven't found him to be funny in anything since.

Yes, with proper cast it might get work.

The movies had a few chuckle moments, but not enough to go see it in a movie theatre($$$).
If you think it's funny to Fart on someone, Burp in their face, Pull my Finger, etc... then you will like this movie. People out grow this humor (hopefully).
I'll give Seth another couple years and then he'll join Adam Saddler in the "Old Guy who's not funny anymore" club.

Nope can't see it being a cult classic if it was made in the 80s

Lara Croft Himiko! The First Sun Queen! This is Yamatai.
