The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005,  R)
The 40 Year Old Virgin
One of the funniest films this decade.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008,  R)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I thought it was better than both "Knocked Up" and "Superbad!"

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is my favorite comedy in recent memory, and is the most mature effort so far from the Apatow cannon. I can see it perplexing some audiences (mostly do to it's slower pace and Jason Segel's exposed "member"), but those without A.D.D or repulsion towards the male anatomy should be thuroughly entertained. SARAH MARSHALL is sure to become a classic, and I loved every minute of it.

Pineapple Express (2008,  R)
Pineapple Express
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, Director David Gordon Green`s forray into buddy-action films (yes, this is the guy who made Undertow and George Washington) is a new breed of comedy... a style of which I have never seen before.

Its unique blend of reefer, laughs, subtlety, gunshots, and gore make for quite the wild ride, and James Franco surprisingly steals the show as soon-to-be classic stoner character Saul Silver. Seth Rogen comfortably does his thing yet again, while Danny McBride and hitmen played by Kevin Corrigan and Craig Robinson turn in some memorably quirky work aswell.

This is one of ther best films of the year... a fresh and original comedy that refuses to conform to genre standards, and in doing so, has become one of the very best Apatow comedies (yes, it IS better than SUPERBAD).

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006,  PG-13)
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Really funny movie. Will Farrell in top form.
8
Step Brothers (2008,  R)
Step Brothers
The Critics were really hard on this one, but I found the film to be consistently very funny and sporatically hilarious. Sure it's stupid, and some scenes go way over the top (especially with excessive physical violence), but STEP BROTHERS wasn't meant to be taken seriously, and it works as just that; an entertaining summer diversion.
9
Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004,  PG-13)

Drillbit Taylor (2008,  PG-13)
Drillbit Taylor
Not particularly funny, and completely passable and forgettable.
11
Funny People (2009,  R)
Funny People
Apatow's most restrained film to date is also his most accomplished and heartfelt. This is a great film (equal parts drama and comedy) with Adam Sandler in a career best performance that I just hope isn't forgotten this awards season (Hint: He will be).

Yes, there are too many dick jokes, but those can be forgiven due to how strong this film is!
