Old School may not be a Judd Apatow produced movie, but it certainly is hilarious and one of my favorite movies of all time. The film stars Will Ferrell, Lucas Wilson, and Vince Vaughn. 
They clock in at the average age of around 35, which is a little bit too old to be joining a fraternity. Good thing they aren’t joining one, but creating one. Luke Wilson comes home one night to find his wife cheating on him, hosting an orgy. This plus a couple other factors influence the men to start a fraternity. They host house parties, drink until they’re belligerent, and go streaking. The best part though, is that the grown men have their own pledges. They mess with the pledges in hilarious ways that I cant even put into words in this blog. If you are someone in a fraternity, you will especially find this movie hilarious. Surprisingly you will be able to relate.

Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen is one of Judd Apatow’s go to guys for his goofy comedy movies. Seth is a Canadian born American actor who also does stand up comedy, writes, produces, and directs. Seth was born April 15th 1982 in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada. Rogen was born to liberal Jewish parents.
When Seth was only 13, he began doing stand up comedy at a local comedy club. He was performing among people that were more than twice his age. Three years later, he auditioned for a High-school television comedy drama called “Freaks and Geeks”. Although the show was short lived, producer Judd Apatow was extremely impressed with Seths ability in front of the camera and hired him as an actor and writer on his new series “Undeclared”. This series met a similar fate to “Freaks and Geeks” so Seth began working as a writer for Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Da Ali G Show”
Although Seth and Judd went different paths, this wasn’t the end of their careers together. Seth made appearances in some of Judd’s early films such as “The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and “The 40 Year Old Virgin”. Rogen’s collaboration with Judd didn’t end their either. They went on to produce hit movies such as Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Neighbors.
Seth really did have an extremely impressive and accomplishing career. Ever since he was 13, he was showing signs of something special. The best part is, his career isn’t over yet. He still has movies set to come out and will have many more to come. He truly is a cinematic legend and I expect good things in his future.
The 40 Year Old Virgin Best Moments
Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin, which hit the cinemas in 2005, is about Andy Stitzer, Steve Carrel, as a single guy, in his 40’s, nerdy, geeky, and works at an electronic store. This hilarious film follows Andy as him and his coworkers/friends try and help him get laid. What I find funny about this film is that it is a group of adults acting like a group of kids. Its a satire based on being a virgin in high school or college where one friend hasn’t done it yet so the rest awkwardly and relentlessly try and help them. Whether there methods or strategies are working or not, ones things for sure. Its embarrassing. Here are some of the best scenes from Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin.
Superbad Best Moments
The video quality may not be the best, but the content is golden. Judd Apatow’s Superbad hit from 2007 is a classic comedy. Many movies after it have tried to copy the funny, goofy, absurd style but have failed. Superbad had the perfect balance of comedy, goofiness, and story scheme. Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are too funny in this movie. Enjoy this clip of Judd Apatow’s Superbad best moments.
Superbad Movie Review
Judd Apatows, Superbad, released August 17th, 2007, is a movie about 2 best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera). Equally unpopular, the 2 teens were inseparable in high school, facing the challenge of going to separate colleges. With only a few weeks left in senior year, they realize they only have a few more weeks to have sex in high school, which to them is a huge deal. Seth and Evan are so desperate, they fall for almost every single girl in the school. Their conversation skills with girls are so bad, that sometimes they will give them the time, even if they are not asked. Awkward. A third main character in the film, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), also known as “McLovin” for his attempt at making a fake ID with the name McLovin, is so unpopular, that he makes Seth and Evan look cool. Every weekend the crew hears girls complaining about getting drunk and sleeping with the wrong guy by mistake. The crews modest ambition is, be that mistake. They get invited to a party by one of the popular girls, Jules (Emma Stone) who exclaims that the party isn’t BYOB, but BYOAEE (Bring Your Own And Everybody Elses). This is what sets the crew on the hunt to get alcohol underage. Bringing alcohol to an underage party will instantly make them cooler. To make the long story short, the gang has a crazy night filled with mistakes, laughter, bad decisions, and booze. The hilarious film does a great job as a satire towards the high school days. Writing this review makes me want to re watch the film, as it would take me back to the high school days were alcohol, girls, and parties are all new.
If you haven’t seen the movie and are thinking about checking it out, watch this trailer.
