Now I am not a huge Judd Apatow fan. But I do enjoy the style of movies he comes out with when directing. And this is one of his installment that I sort of got into. As a matter of fact, I personally thought this was him at his peak especially with his early previous works. Maybe he will churn out something better, but this is a Apatow film that I was at least amused with from beginning to end. And that has to do with the execution of the awkward humor. Now the premise has been done before. Where a character that doesn't believe in love or that gets into a relationship with a person that does. But I liked the direction Apatow went with this for the most part, mainly because it has that Apatow signature vibe going for it. Which is raunchy, a bit crude but amusing without going over board. I however couldn't see what the lead male character saw in the lead female character that made him really fall for her. I mean he is a sports doctor that knows a lot of athletes and is rich. Plus the guy has integrity and a heart of gold, he could get just about any women if he wanted. And yes I know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. But it just didn't make any sense, he just deserved better. It seemed like this was going into the radical feminist fantasy direction during certain parts which actually got quite annoying. On the plus side though, this has to have the best cameo appearances from an athletes in a movie ever. John Cena is hilarious in this and LeBron James nails it. I didn't expect LeBron's cameo scenes to be so darn entertaining to sit through, but he really works in this film. This isn't one of the best romantic comedy I have seen, but it's still a fun and amusing watch. It's a raunchy comedy that does have some genuine heart to it and I liked that. Yeah, if Amy Schumer wasn't so annoying and aggravating while spilling messages that drag down women from achieving happiness. Just so her and her group can feel better about themselves by bringing others down. And sending messages that men should put up with the crap she did in this movie and bend over backwards. I would have given it a higher score. Still not a bad movie.
