I caught this film about midway through. I read the synopsis and was able to pick up most of what was going on as the movie rolled on.
I haven't laughed this hard; at random; to non-slapstick comedy; (that I just walked in on) in a very, very long time. So long that I honestly can't remember.
I'm laughing out loud and I have no problem following along. Signs of someone who knows writing. I see this is Jason Bateman's directorial debut as well. What a great job.
The cast i've seen so far is incredible. The chemistry with Bateman and Rohan is incredible.
Kathryn Hahn is typically good, as usual. Loved seeing Rachael Harris. The crudeness and vulgarity are done almost so concisely so that you only see the humor and forget the setting.
The always melancholic Smashing Pumpkins was a nice touch at the end. Summed things up nicely.
I will re-watch from the beginning but I doubt I will change anything said here. I missed all scenes with Alisson Janney, and she's usually great in everything, so I can only imagine there's a lot more laughs in the first half as well.
All in all, I'm giving this an 8/10 (from what i've seen) because to make a feel-good; coming-of-age; vulgar comedy such as this, takes some serious chops.
My hat goes off to Mr. Bateman. He seems to do everything quite well and this film is no exception.
