They may look like two bland, unfunny comedies, but a bored box office geek could perceive the back-to-back openings as Judd Apatow facing off against his protege. Which will make more total? The Guilt Trip Dec. 19 Pros: Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen seem like inspired casting - both have some solid hits Director Anne Fletcher's previous film The Proposal made huge amounts of money Cons: Last minute marketing Paramount has bungled comedies before This Is 40 Dec. 21 Pros: Universal has a strong track record with comedy Judd Apatow is a relatively known comedy filmmaker Lots of advertisements Cons: Paul Rudd has a spotty box office record as a leading man Judd Apatow's brand has been sullied with the flopping of Funny People Do people really want a pseudo-sequel to Knocked Up?

Unsure. Guilt Trip looks quite traditional comedy. May or may not be a hit. This is 40 seems to have great early reviews but I still don't see why I should see it. Maybe others will be different because aside from the Hobbit and Les Mis, not many of the movies seem like they'll be hits.
