and found them both funny and a bit tender. These were relationship movies...although Superbad used the form of a high school sex comedy, it also mixed in a lot of very human relationships.
This was sort of trying to do the same thing in the form of a stoner comedy- but IMHO, went off the tracks into a war between drug dealing gangs, involving shooting, chases, and lots of fights. None of this worked for me. The great part about these Apatow productions is the witty repartee- very evident in the two movies you mention- and also here to some degree. If this has a redeeming value, it is that...but I did not enjoy the action, and that's at least half the movie.
