It would be easy to believe that Judd Apatow was behind this raunchy-but-sweet comedy, with its abundant talk about sex and such, but the man actually had nothing to do with what ultimately feels like a lazy little brother to Knocked Up. In that film people were shocked when overweight schlub Seth Rogen not only [...]
