I am excited about the new crop of American comedies that have been emerging lately. This Rogan/Apatow crew has consistently brought audiences modern stories full of honest characters ("Knocked Up" being the exception) and jokes that have not been dragged through movie mud over and over again.

At first, I was unsure of where the comedy was going with this one. It starts off a little shaky, but then finds its groove and carries the audience laughing all the way through the credits.

The plot is simple: A guy gets dumped. Her tries to et over her, and winds up running into her. Her falls in love with another woman, and the ex now wants him back. Easy enough, right?

But with the dead on humor (some raunchy, some just genuinely hilarious), this movie shines as a comic tour-De-force for all involved. The jokes are timely but not dated (whereas "Knocked Up" lacked credibility with its Hot-Girl-Loves-Slob routine and its dated references to movie lines and TV shows.) This one is funnier than "Knocked Up" and "40 Year Old Virgin," but not quite better than "Superbad." All in all, these original comedies are fresh, exciting and genuine to the core.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
