We all know this guy has been in on a bunch of real funny movies in the last half of 2000s first decade. He either produces, directs or writes (usually not more than one) them. When it comes to his 'co-conspirators' he is loyal--example: Undeclared was a funny TV show that got killed in the first season despite good acclaim. He still has all of those writers working for him. He was a roommate of Adam Sandler 10 years ago..hence Funny People and an uncredited rewrite of the Wedding Singer.
The movies all pepper repeat offenders throughout..most notably Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill but John C. Reilly and Will Farrell have gotten some of his pixie dust as well.
Judd, kudos. Anchorman was 'spit out your beer' funny, as was Talladega Nights. I give Will Farrell an A for his part, but that is an A+ comedy because it achieves a level of hilarity that is impossible to hit without strong background folk doing their parts..Year One was another example of this. Simple formula, but the preparation is important; this was an excellent meshing of a funny montage movie utilizing Jack Black and George Michael (his mother calls him Michael Cera, but I don't give a shit--he is and will always be George Michael from Arrested Development) to the fullest. Great flick Judd. I could go on and on-Stepbrothers, 40 Year Old Virgin (you know how I know you're gay? you like Coldplay)
In summation Judd, I am laughing pretty good just reading the paragraph in your wikipedia entry entitled 'Upcoming films' because you rarely miss and when you are on, it is gold baby. Can't wait to watch the rest of them. Keep up the good work.
