I wanted to really like this film, but it's probably a double, not a home run.
I think there were more f-bombs dropped in this film than in The Departed (but I could be wrong). Sure, people do talk like that in real life, but after awhile it just got tiresome in spots. Its heart is in the right place, but the execution of its themes just isn't as crisp as it could have been.
The film is too long, and you could tell that Judd Apatow wrote some wordy scenes for his wife Leslie Mann, which went on a little too long as well.
I liked Apatow's last film (The 40 Year Old Virgin) more than this one.
I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
