Even Judd Apatow’s worst movie has some fascinating stuff in it. The problem with Funny People is that it’s two different movies smashed together. On the one hand, you have a kind of dark comedian mentor/protege story steeped in the world of stand-up. On the other hand, you have a kind of dark romantic comedy in which a guy goes back for who he fee...
Quite likely Judd Apatow’s most personal film, The Is 40 is also one of his most complicated. There’s the “rich white people problems” issue that taints the whole affair and the fact that the characters are largely miserable for much of the running time, but the film is also narratively much tighter than Funny People and by golly, Paul Rudd and Les...
Following up the smashing success of The 40-Year-Old Virgin was no easy task, but credit to Apatow for refusing to try and make the same film twice. Knocked Up is in some ways more of a traditional romcom than 40-Year-Old Virgin, albeit one that seeks to hone in on some of the striking differences between men and women in relationships. Katherine H...
Apatow’s latest film, The King of Staten Island, is really his next evolution as he’s been blending comedy with drama since the beginning of his career. But The King of Staten Island is probably Apatow’s most dramatic film yet, and all the better for it. Just as Trainwreck allowed Amy Schumer to bare her soul, The King of Staten Island is semi-auto...
An argument could be made that almost all of Apatow’s films are some version of a romantic comedy, and in that regard Trainwreck is the one that really stands a cut above. It’s also the first of Apatow’s films since 40-Year-Old Virgin that is essentially someone else’s story, after mining his own life for inspiration for Knocked Up, Funny People, a...
But ultimately, it’s hard to resist putting The 40-Year-Old Virgin at #1. The film still (mostly) holds up really well, while acknowledging that the transphobic and homophobic jokes are tough to stomach. But what really made The 40-Year-Old Virgin such a smashing success was Steve Carell. Many forget he co-wrote the script with Apatow, and so Andy ...
- Adam Chitwood
- Knocked Up. 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.
- The King Of Staten Island. 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.
- The 40-Year-Old Virgin. 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.
- Funny People. Another nostalgia-driven Apatow production, Funny People stars none other than movie actor Adam Sandler as a fictionalized version of himself.
