Robbiefreeling: Why I find 40 Year Old Virgin so stultifying is because when you rely only on sex jokes, the film becomes oddly agenda-driven, a la that piece of trash American Pie, which is not about laughs as much as furthering myths about American male sexuality. Robbiefreeling: yeah, there’s a lot of great off-screen last-minute dubbing that adds to the film’s flippant charms…and there’s also plenty of refreshing slapstick instead of crummy sex jokes

Robbiefreeling: Yeah, but you cried at Doomįilmenthusiast2000: The detail work in the movie is so great: the tossed off, half-heard lines (“This town is full of losers, and I’m pulling out”–that’s Springsteen’s ‘Thunder Road’), the Mortal Kombat song on the 95′ mix-tape (“The Summer of like”)… The scenes with Smart seem negligible in comparisonįilmenthusiast2000: Yeah, well I could say his about-face into sincerity at the end was a bit much to swallow. Robbiefreeling: his chemistry with his brother is the real delight of the film. Robbiefreeling: Often, he veers too far into outright jerk territory, and he’s a smidgen too hateful to be a rom-com lead, but a lot of his timing is dead on Robbiefreeling: Anna Faris is one of our great comic talents, but because she didn’t start out on SNL, she’s virtually ignoredįilmenthusiast2000: Have you revised your opinion of Mr. Robbiefreeling: I’d say that’s the main difference in watching a cast of able young comedic actors doing their thing as opposed to cynical, “seasoned” pros like Steve Carrell Robbiefreeling: Just Friends, seemed much fresher. Robbiefreeling: and all those comic book and collectible figurine jokesįilmenthusiast2000: Yeah, it seems with “studio trash, a few million in marketing makes all the difference with critics between “bawdy guilty pleasure” and “tired rom-com retread” And Catherine Keener was far too “sensible” and “classy”įilmenthusiast2000: I certainly prefer JF and Amy Smart… Robbiefreeling: all the jokes of the dudes in the electronics store….zzzzzz, tired, obvious. Robbiefreeling: i hated 40 Year Old Virgin…didn’t laugh beginning to end Robbiefreeling: there are surprisingly few cheap potshots in the filmįilmenthusiast2000: I didn’t know you were so lukewarm on 40 Year Old!

Robbiefreeling: so much better than 40 Year Old Virgin….SO much better Robbiefreeling: i was thinking about that this morning on the subway Filmenthusiast2000: There’s literally no way Just Friends doesn’t make my top 10 for the year.įilmenthusiast2000: I’m not saying critics are drones… But give Just Friends the same marketing push as 40 Year Old Virgin/ Wedding Crashers…And it would go up 30 points on metacritic.įilmenthusiast2000: Instead of being thrown to the over-eager 3rd tier critics for an easy bash.
