"Joachin Trier's new release "Sentimental Value" - a group of people cackling though the whole thing as though were a Judd Apatow movie in 2007"
"Irony poisoned" crowds at serious movie screenings... · u/BadgemanBrown · ↑304 · 2026-01-03
"Also it really is a great show. middle seasons are just ok and the Marnie and Desi stuff sucked then and sucks now, but overall, yeah, Dunham, Konner and Apatow created something special over the course of six seasons."
Girls is a great tv show because it lacks diversity · u/rfamico · ↑111 · 2025-06-20
"Not sure who said it but I remember hearing someone make the point that the 500th biggest streamer has fans that would die for him but Pete Davidson gets a Judd Apatow hollywood movie about himself but you'll never meet a truly enthusiastic fan of his."
"Remember when they'd just give a group of dudes the whole comedy industry for a few years? Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey in the 90s, Will Ferrell early-mid 2000s, then Apatow, Rogen, and Segel."
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an all-timer · u/Paula-Abdul-Jabbar · ↑66 · 2024-01-30
"She's wasted in indie arthouse films. Judd Apatow needs to cast her as a relatable, jaded slacker female romantic lead."
Cast Dasha in an improv heavy comedy · u/Heterozizekual · ↑37 · 2020-05-29
"It's those scenes where you can feel the hand of the Judd Apatow who actually made good comedies."
