The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005, Judd Apatow), the unrated version

Role Models (2008, David Wain), the unrated version
Role Models is shockingly good. It fuses the inappropriately blunt comedy genre with a listless thirties white men growing up genre. The result is a constantly funny film–I mean, it’s Seann William...

Wet Hot American Summer (2001, David Wain)
One of the best gags in Wet Hot American Summer is having the twenty and (some) thirty somethings play teenage summer camp counselors. One big problem? Not making the gag clear until the end of the...

Magic Mike XXL (2015, Gregory Jacobs)
Every once and a while, Magic Mike XXL throws in some vague nod towards having character development. It doesn’t. And the movie knows it doesn’t need any, but it still pretends it does. All of the...

Catch Me If You Can (2002, Steven Spielberg)
Catch Me If You Can is a spectacular showcase for Leonardo DiCaprio. Unfortunately, the rest of the film doesn’t exactly rise up to meet him, not the filmmaking, not the writing, not his costars. With...
