The latest film from Judd Appatow.
Trailer has just been released and it looks kinda good.
Hit or flop?

I'm torn, I love Russel Brand but hate Jonah Hill. He's good in films where he isn't in it much like 40 year old virgin but he completely ruined superbad for me because I find him so annoying.
This film will be a big hit, Forgetting Sarah Marshal was a big hit and for most people the best thing about it was Russel Brand. His own spin off film is great news.
Did I see the guy who played Ed in series 8 of Scrubs in the meeting scene, the guy who had the "flush tones" idea?
If the 'best thing in a film' is Russell Brand I certainly will never watch it.
yea, he's called aziz ansari and he is a stand-up comedian.
Apparently she was in the film but her part got cut.
new Burton and Taylor
I was at an advance screening thingy and the film was introduced by Russell and Jonah and they both seemed really proud of the movie and I think they should be!
I do think this will be a hit, and I dont think the trailer does it justice - there's much more to it than just a bit of a road movie, can highly recommend.
Oh, please god tell me you are being ironic.
Stand out of the film is P Diddy who steals every scene he is in.
It'll win no awards, and is kind of infantile at times, but I was in stitches throughout, and one particular sequence (you'll know which one) had me laughing so much it hurt.
Agree with posters above though: Diddy steals the show. Such a funny performance and a wonderful surprise.
I was surprised with P-Diddys performance and Russell obviously suited the character well.
On par with FSM. loved the vegas scenes, "african face" and mind-fvcking the best.
oh, and the songs were great too, it was russell singing all of them and he has a great voice.
7.5/10
8/10
Sadly there just doesn't feel like there's any real chemistry between Brand and Hill. But as others here have said, The Diddy man won't do his film career any harm at all with his role.
Review here.
8.5/10
The mind-f*ck thing was hilarious:
A solid 8/10 from me.
Completely agree with this!
It was very, very funny in places (especially the scenes with P Diddy) but I do prefer Forgetting Sarah Marshall overall, brilliant film!
This, that was just brilliant.
Good film, much better than I was expecting! Russell Brand was really good.
The only good part was P Diddy he clearly has excellent comic timing and stole, most of the scenes. I hated the inane swearing, brought nothing to the film.
In conclusion, Brand had a wasted opportunity to make a really funny film, but the script and plot was weak and boring
Loved the throw back to Sarah Marshall
I think, though, Forgetting Sarah Marshall had a better story arc and character development...for a comedy.
It seemed a bit stop/start, and there wasn't enough of a build up of actually getting him to the Greek...I didn't feel there was a point where Brand's character genuinely might not make it. It was just a song and dance coaxing him along.
Maybe it needed a scene where Brand was in real crisis, like perhaps him OD'ing. Not half-arsedly standing on a roof and breaking his arm.
I dunno, it just needed a bit more of a 'YEAHHH HE MADE IT', however cheesy it sounds.
