yeah of the paul rudd starring vehicles those two are definitely my fave after role models (not the heaviest competition admittedly). weird that he seems to work better as a supporting player, i don't think if you lined up him, rogen, and jonah hill it would be obv that he's the one who needs to be second banana.

yeah the main problem with Our Idiot Brother is that it isn't funny at all

I wonder if the Our Idiot Brother/Wanderlust divide falls along the same line as the Bob's Burgers/Archer divide or the Parks & Rec/etc. divide, aka people who like stuff that has "heart" and people who hate twee "cloying" stuff.
I am very twee and emotional I guess.

anyway while there may be digs at the yuppies in wanderlust it's essentially about the horrors of hippies and suburbia and going for cheap scatological gags. (Boobs and dicks lol.) it's simply not funny either

wow This is 40 was really ... unpleasant. just completely unsympathetic characters, with no conflict driving any kind of plot. every scene not featuring Albert Brooks was just kind of sad.
I thought there was some other discussion on ILX somewhere but can't find it. Prior to rental I had expressed my hesitation to my wife that I had heard this was bad (from ILX, and NYT and others). afterwards my wife said "I hate it when the internet is right".

I really believe in an alternate version where his character was more in the background - Rogan's star boss rather than his co-lead - sandler could have gotten a best supporting Oscar nom. Not to say he'd earn it, just that they love that can find of sensitive self-satire (jack in terms of endearment). But then we wouldn't have learned the lesson that one must listen when Maude Apatow is singing.
