Judd Apatow made a lot of people fans with his memorable show “Freaks and Geeks.” He made an ... Chris gets 'Knocked Up

Apatow’s latest project casts Seth Rogen in the lead, reprising his role as a lovable stoner from the previous film. Rogen’s character, Ben Stone, is an unemployed Canadian who lives with several like-minded losers that dream of setting up a porn site dedicated to celebrities. Alison (Katherine Heigl), meanwhile, is on the fast track to success on E! television, and is just celebrating a huge promotion when the two collide for a fateful one night stand. The awkward nine months that ensue are chronicled alongside the troubled marriage of Alison’s sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann), and her husband Pete (Paul Rudd).

Like in “Virgin,” Rudd once again rattles off self-deprecating one-liners as his character espouses envy over Ben’s lifestyle while”enlightening him” on the horrors of marriage. The chemistry between the two is fantastic, and their banter is funnier than any star-studded buddy comedy in years. The potential flaw with this movie is that it is constantly funny, both bitingly honest in its portrayals of relationships and inanely weird at times. The jokes and story are well paced and interlaced from the opening credits to the scene where Ben and Pete go to Cirque de Soleil high on mushrooms to the final scene in the hospital. The problem is simply that during the over-the-top scenes, the audience will be laughing so hard they’ll actually miss some of the clever dialogue that has become Apatow’s trademark. Rogen and Rudd are stellar, but the movie also features a series of cameos and minor characters that provide a constant flood of jokes. The audience was cheering every time the passive-aggressive producing assistant came on camera and Pete and Debbie’s morbid little daughter was hilarious.

Apatow has made his trademark in poignant comedies about human relationships that are naively charming, and at times, irreverently funny. Without a doubt, this is the funniest movie of the year.
