These films are amongst the best comedies I have seen in about ten years. I am glad Rick defended the films and I actually think that Greg Mottola is a better director than Alexander Payne. Hr might not have the better screenplays but he does a better job in getting the best out of his cast. I can’t wait for Observe and Report and I hope you guys review it. Personally I think you should review more comedies. I agree. These films are amongst the best comedies I have seen in about ten years.

I have only wacthed Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I find myself along Rick's lines most of the times. I must say Simons's (forgive me if I've got your names wrong) over-analytical perspective on these comedies does not do them any justice and and puts them out of context: forget about Godard once in a while. I found Forgetting Sarah Marshall's first 20 minutes very 'refreshing' (you love that word) and innovative, especially the approach to male nudity during the break up scene. I was sold after that. As to Superbad, I simply love its mix of innocence and grossness. Thanks Paolo Hi guys,
