Post Knocked Up is the best of the Frat Pack Bunch
Well not technically the frat pack but they're all associated to them and even make small cameos.

The film is not just hilarious, its freaking great! its smart and Seth Rogan is just a natural. I'm sure half the shit he said wasn't in the original script and he just made it up (like half his canadian references). Dunnno how the film is rated PG 13 in Canada though!!

One of the best scenes in the movie involves Ryan Seacrest. He makes a small cameo and is hilarious too.

A++

Like "Possible teenage virgin minds exploding" moment? Or "My god, did they just go there? :| " moment?

I endured Hostel 2 recently, I'm sure I'll be able to handle whatever this throws at me.

I'm salivating waiting to see it though.

Good news

I'm seeing it tomorrow night. I think I'm more excited than I was for Spidey, Shrek and Pirates combined. I guess you could say I crave fresh ideas right now.

I am too. That's how uninteresting this summer has been to me thus far, kind of like the rest of the moviegoing year to this point.

Considering you thought 40-Year-Old Virgin was the funniest movie ever made, this is pleasing news.

this writer/director (whose name i can never remember) knows really well how to mix cliche elements (which are expected not because they are part of such films but are part of such situations) with originality at the same time.

If y'all keep that up, the term frat pack's gonna be stretched beyond all recognition...

(Beyond the different groups of actors, my take on it is that frat pack leans gross-out with cynicism, while the Apatow amigos lean absurdist with heart...)

I've seen the previews, and the movie is not doing it for me. I don't know why. I like Judd Apatow, I like Seth Rogen, I like Paul Rudd, I like Katherine Heigl. But the whole thing just isn't jumping out at me.

But, neither did The 40 Year Old Virgin and I loved that.

This isn't the frat pack at all IMO

I agree that it's an entirely new faction, the Apatow connection.
