Bunch of materialistic, whiney, entitled people who wish they had it better.  If you have any prejudices about Los Angeles, this movie will reinforce them.

It's a shame that this is what new music by Graham Parker was wasted on.

To be fair, until they make This Is 80, neither of you are the target demographic.

By the way, Graham Parker comes accross as a really down to Earth, pleasant person.  He is the only character
in the movie with whom you would want to spend any time.  Well, maybe Megan Fox.

A movie that I think I hate, but I find myself talking about a week after I have seen it has obviously said something to me.  What this movie said is "These are people whom you know.  You may not like them, but you have more in common with them than you would like to admit."  Albert Brooks plays Paul Rudd's father.  He has outlived his usefulness and relies on his son to lend him money.  Does this change his lifestyle?  Hell no.  John Lithgow plays Leslie Mann's Waspy, wealthy, surgeon father,  He has a  second family and has no involvement in his daughter's life.  Is he happy?  He is miserable because he has failed with two families and uses withdrawal as his defense.  Paul Rudd is a failing business man who started a business because he lost his job and can't get another one.  Leslie Mann plays an attractive woman who has set 40 as the date when she goes over the cliff and is no longer youthful, whether she is or not.    Boobs?  Yes.  Leslie Mann has a nice set, but the first time you see her right boob it is while she is getting a  mammogram.  After that it is not exciting when she later tries to use them to interest her husband in sex.  You know what?  All of this is funny.  If you can stomach it.  Melissa McCarthy steals the two scenes in which she appears.

I just think Judd Apatow has such a huge fucking mancrush on Paul Rudd that he lets Rudd keep banging his wife in movies.
