Brennan: Did we just become best friends?

Dale: Yep!

Brennan: Do you wanna do Karate in the garage?

Dale: Yep!

The famous “Karate in the garage” is a classic line from this movie. This quote is one of the most important to me because it reminds me of true brotherhood. I have 2 younger brothers who I didn’t always get along with growing up. Obviously we had our fights, annoyed each other, rivaled, but at the end of the day are best friends. Although Dale and Brennan are about 40 years old, they remind me of the good times growing up I had with my brothers. Playing Star Wars, making fart jokes, having sleepovers with friends/cousins etc. Step Brothers is a great comedy movie, but to someone like myself, represents something more. There’s nothing like “tough brotherly love” which is why I love this movie. Step Brothers is an all-time classic to myself and lots of other movie fans around the world.

The 40 Year Old Virgin Movie Review

Judd Apatows The 40 Year Old Virgin is a comedy starring Steve Carrel as Andy Stitzer. For a goofy comedy such as this one, they movie is surprisingly insightful. Andy distracts himself from thinking about being a virgin with obsessions. He is obsessed with action figures, video games, and collectibles. Andy works at an electronic super store, where he is surrounded by employees who are constantly bantering about sex. One day during a poker game, Andy’s co Image result for the 40 year old virgin workers realize how uncomfortable and naive he is on the topic. Once they found out he was a virgin, they made it their mission to end his 40 year old drought. Although Andy would rather just sit at home with his action figures, his new friends don’t let him. His friends set him up in a singles bar, give him advice, try speed dating, but none of it works. Across the mall is a single, attractive, sales clerk who Andy is too shy and awkward to talk to. He somehow begins talking to her and that’s when the plot beings wrapping up. I think that the best part about this movie is how well Steve Carrel and Katherine Keener (Shop keeper) work together. You can definitely see the chemistry. If there is anything to take away from this movie,its that its better late than never.

Bridesmaids Movie Review

Bridesmaids, a Judd Apatow produced movie that was released in 2011, is a movie about a group of girlfriends who are about as crazy as the guys in The Hangover. Lillian, played by Maya Rudolph, is getting married and the girls are flying out to Vegas for the wedding. “What happens in Vegas, starts on the plane” is their motto. Annie, played by Kristen Wigg expects to be maid of honor. She is rivaled by her friend Helen, played by Rose Bryne. This rivalry eventually leads to the breakdown of Annie in a French-themed bridal shower. What is so special about Bridesmaid’s is that it’s a crossover of a Chick-Flick and Raunchy comedy.

These’s girls dirty jokes could rival those of The Hangover. The movie shows that women compete with men when it comes to vulgarity, sexual frankness, lust, vulnerability, over drinking, and insecurities. Judd is consistently involved in movies that connect audiences such as this one. Because of the films focus on female characters, it truly is a different type of comedy. If you are a women, this is a must see. Only the manliest of men will watch this movie as it may make some people uncomfortable. In the end, the movie is warmhearted and ends nicely. I would definitely recommend a friend to watch this film. If you are interested, check out this trailer.

The Big Sick Funniest Moments

Judd Apatow’s The Big Sick was an American romantic comedy film that hit the cinemas in 2017. It took Judd and his wife over 3 years to write the film as they wanted it to be funny but also portray a certain message. The film is about an uber driver, want to be comedian, named Kumail. Kumail is Muslim but becomes agnostic behind his parents back. They believe he still practices Muslim. Kumail ends up dating a white women which would be extremely frowned upon if his parents found out. One of his cousins got disowned from the family for marrying a white women. Without giving too much away, a big message Judd was trying to get across in this film was you don’t know whats going on in peoples private lives. Specifically people who have immigrated to the US. One of the reasons I like this film so much is that I think the message is so important. Without further

Laura, played by Leslie Mann was the one that got away. George encounters her again in the film only to find she is married to an Australian man.

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.
