Looking at the group involved in making this, it would be tempting to think this was heading further down the road of Superbad, since many of the same core group of actors was in that movie as well. Instead, this walks the gentler side of the Apatow crew genre, with 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up as it's comedic predecessors. The overall plot vehicle does seem a bit contrived and rehashed, but only because it's a nearly universal experience - almost everyone has gone through a breakup and can relate to some of the experiences in the film. The lead and supporting cast, while familiar faces, do a great job of lifting the movie above the average into an overall very enjoyable movie.
