Good film but I'm a little hesisant to take my teenager to it...at heart it's a romantic comedy and it'll be widely discussed for a couple of reasons that I won't spoil. It's different in that the decisions made in the movie are pro-life and then you have a group of characters that are very pro-pot and getting high. It's a combination that hasn't been explored a lot on film.

A cool thing happened at the premiere. Judd Apatow stood up at the front of the theatre with a mike to introduce the film and say a few words, thanking the cast, crew, his wife.... He then announced that before the start of the movie his nephew had something he wanted to say to his girlfriend and asked if they could both come down to the front of the theatre. So they came down and were standing there looking shy and out of place. Judd then asks, "Mr. Jack Black, I believe you're in the house, could you come down here for a second?" So Jack Black gets out of his seat and walks to the front of the stage and Judd Apatow whispers Jack's ear and hands him a piece of paper and the mike. Judd Apatow has the nephew get down on his knees and Jack Black reads from the paper what the nephew wants to say to the girl, "Mindy, I think you're wonderful, beautiful, the moment I met you.... and out of everyone else on this planet that we both walk on, I want to spend the rest of my life with you....will you marry me?" The nephew then pulls a ring out of his pocket and puts the ring on her finger and Judd whispers in Jack's ear and then Jack sings in a very falsetto voice, that Journey song, "Don't Stop Believing....hold onto that feeeeling...". Applause.
And then they started the film.
