One of my favorite scenes was when they're making out for the first time and they keep knocking over shelfs on purpose. Kinda reminded me of the scene in Wet Hot American Summer when two characters run through the nurses office destroying everything in sight for no apparent reason. I also loved the 'Grandma' scene.
I loved so much of it (really liked the reveal of "Hot Cup Of Joel")... but to comment on the "make out scene", I too, thought of Joe and Janeane's scene in "Wet Hot". I kind of wanted the make out to be even crazier because of it, but I still dug it.
When they were playing football in the office. When Joel was going to propose. The sex moves. On the menu at the end is "horse beef" When her ex got shot in the head....
Hated the brother and the best friend actors thought... Almost every scene with them sucked.
The whole thing with "fiction books" was pretty funny... the "Oh my god, I've never met anyone else that liked fiction before!" thing. And then when she was talking to Eggbert about it at the restaurant and he's like, "Yeah, but you know it's not a real right? I remember reading 'The Great Gatsby' and asking my teacher, 'did this really happen'?" LOL
I liked when the Mom tried hitting on Paul Rudd a la "Wedding Crashers" and when he says no it turns out to be a test. And the Dad's like, "You have no idea how many guys I've seen FLUNK THE *beep* out of that test!" hahahaha
When the boss *beep* in his costume and then tries to act like it didn't happen, and that someone else must've put his costume on, *beep* in it, and then left it there lol.
Pretty funny movie on the whole, but definitely felt like something was lacking and the story was just too typical and predictable to really enjoy. I'd give it a 6.5/10 and not much more. It's a bit disappointing because I really love Role Models and WHAS and always look forward to David Wain's new movies. Hopefully the next one will be better!

But you completely left out the punchline of that, when he then said, "and my teacher said 'no', and then I said, 'well why did they write it down then?'"
