Damn. From the trailers, I didn't really think it was that hysterically funny, but everyone's been saying it...is.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Dude, trust me—I'd be the first in line to crucify a Steve Carell comedy if it weren't good. This is almost like me recommending a Will Farrell movie.
I would not, however, have recommended that the guy who sat in the row in front of mine bring his third grader to giggle uncontrollably every time a body part was mentioned in or out of a joke.

Dude.
It can wait for DVD though, right? It's not run-out-and-get-a-sitter-good, is it?

It's not going to lose anything on the small screen, no.

It really is. I just got back from seeing it with Z, and we were both crying with laughter at various points.
I also watched Julie Taymor's Titus today. It was interesting. Very pretty, and kind of cold. I know a certain distance is required from the script, but I think Taymor's too in love with her visuals. Still, interesting.
Ooh, I really liked Titus. Very cool movie.
Concur on the 40YOV love. Funny funny funny. Seth Rogan TOTALLY reminds me of my BF.

I had to look up which part he played (Cal), but wow, you're lucky. Though I'd be slightly disturbed to learn Robin=Beth.
I agree with Jessica that it won't lose anything in transition to DVD, Plei. But if you have one of those days where you just have to get out and do something cathartic, I think spending two hours laughing uncontrollably at the movies is a good option.
I really liked Titus.
What worked for you and what didn't? I don't think I liked the framing story, especially the very last minute or so.
I LOVE Seth Rogan. He reminded me of Abe Benrubi.
