By far the best movie I've seen in a long time

I've never been a huge fan of animated movies in general nor Pixar movies in particular. However, I must say that the keen social commentary regarding political, social, and environmental issues in this film was presented in a way that was accessible to viewers of all ages without softening the intended impact. Really, I think that there was something in this movie for everyone to take away and my hope is that after seeing it families will be motivated to discuss what they can do to limit their impact on the environment while striving to improve their own qualities of life.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Surprisingly Engaging Movie

I've come to expect a certain lack of plot when it comes to Judd Apatow movies, however I was surprised to find that this screenplay was constructed well and had a particular focus on developing the two primary characters (Segel's Peter and Bell's Sarah). The characters' flaws were not over-exaggerated and were, if nothing else, realistic and credible. After all, who doesn't know someone like Peter or Sarah, or even Rachel (sp) or Aldous? And, unlike other Apatow films, I barely noticed the parts of the film that didn't have me doubled over laughing because the plot and character development was so engaging. This is a good film, and I definitely recommend it - especially for the late-20's to early-30's set.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
