A look at the lives of Pete and Debbie a few years after the events of Knocked Up.

I kind of wish that I did not invest my time to watch this movie. Granted it is not a complete clusterfuck of a movie, its bloated length made it feel like a chore to watch. In the spirit of mercy I have to ask why couldn’t have Judd Apatow chopped off about 30 minutes off of the running time of the movie. Though I am not entirely familiar with her work I have to wonder is Leslie Mann actually capable of portraying anything other than a neurotic woman. I know I am not spoiling much of the movie, somehow I felt that when Paul Rudd’s character Pete was punched in the face, I felt that punch was on behalf of the audience.
