- The Bubble

- The King of Staten Island

The Bubble's outstanding ensemble cast should've pushed this Judd Apatow movie higher up the list, but the final product didn't deliver. Starring the likes of Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, and Keegan-Michael Key, The Bubble follows a team of actors during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the actors try to shoot director Darren Eigen's (Armisen) ridiculous a...
Written by and starring Amy Schumer, the Judd Apatow movie Trainwreck feels like a misstep in the director's oeuvre. On paper, the casting makes sense, as both Schumer and co-star Bill Hader were ideal choices based on their industry momentum at the time. But whereas Apatow's early comedies feature situational comedy that feels bizarrely natural, m...
With This Is 40, Apatow played it safe by directing a Knocked Up spinoff. The Judd Apatow movie stars his endearing wife Leslie Mann and the perpetually-likable Paul Rudd, both of whom reprise their roles as the always-bickering parents Debbie and Pete, respectively. Apatow wrote the script for This Is 40 himself, giving the story an authentic feel...
Another nostalgia-driven Apatow production, Funny People stars none other than movie actor Adam Sandleras a fictionalized version of himself. The screenplay, written solely by Apatow, caters to the Sandman's comedic palette of zany voices and includes meta-references to his pop-culture persona. Interestingly, Apatow adds a cancer-themed subplot tha...
For Apatow's debut The 40-Year-Old Virgin, he enlisted Steve Carell as his co-writer and horny lead. From beginning to end, there's a potent one-liner in each minute of the film, with Carell himself carrying the storyline with his impeccable comedic timing and ability to convey social anxiety in almost every situation. With this narrative rock in p...
Five years after Trainwreck, Apatow returned to form with The King of Staten Island, a film that favors the central story over directorial gimmicks and nostalgia. Pete Davidson portrays a fictionalized version of himself as Scott, a wannabe tattoo artist who just can't catch a break — or a least that's how it seems. Much like Funny People, it's the...
After The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Apatow took a strong step forward with Knocked Up. Starring Rogen and Katherine Heigl as an unlikely couple, the 2007 comedy maintains a comedic and dramatic balance, and through the lens of American 20-somethings. As a filmmaker, Apatow appears to be clinging to his younger years while realizing that everything is abo...
