Review:
Jason Segel & Ed Helms. Together on screen. In a drama-edy..... really? This movie was much better & way different than what I was expecting it to be. I assumed two completely over the top silly dudes in the same movie & it would be rude, crude & lewd.... instead it was very heart warming, emotional & perfectly acted by Jason Segel. That & you get an old lady lesbian make out scene involving Susan Sarandon..... sign me up. Directed by The Duplass Brothers who followed up an incredible film called Cyrus with another perfect jem. Who would have thought that Pete from "The League" would be such a great film maker. Cannot wait to see there next film "Safety Not Guaranteed".
