to Goggs90: is that you seth rogen? comedic genius....ok (whatever)

hiya, I just watched a movie with seth in it and I had to google "seth rogen sucks" and I ended up here. I've never enjoyed him and always thought "what?" He's some nerd that is unfunny that thinks he's cool or something..why is he in so many movies? ps. I think me and everyone around me is funny when I smoke pot too....I guess everyone that hires him gets stoned first

So sick of this guy and all of his friends,it's the same five guys in every movie,isn't there anyone else in hollywood that can get a movie made,I'll never pay another nickle for anything he's in.

FINALLY!!!!!
I thought I was totally alone here. In fact I had to google the words 'seth rogen not funny' to confirm I'm not insane. Then I found you guys. Thanks for putting me at ease. Seth Rogen is NOT FUNNY at all, and I am so tired of people who talk about him like he's some comedic genius. His movies are not good. 40 Year Old Virgin was the only movie I liked, and that's cuz he had a minor role. He's a pervert and I'm sick of comedies having to be perverted to be "funny". Sex jokes are okay, but his movies revolve around it all the time. It gets old. Seth Rogen is a cancer to comedy.

Rogen is like Kevin Smith minus the sardonic tongue, wit, intelligence, ironic humor, or gusto.

No wonder the former is a millionaire and the latter simply a niche.

There are more idiots in this country than smarter ones. Rogen is highly overrated for those of us who know there's real talent like Kevin out there.

Rogen is terrible. Not funny, not cool, and he is an awful actor. Why is someone like him even cast??? Have seen a couple of his films and that was it. My group of friends have code for when a movie is bad. "Rogen" is the worst meaning not even going to consider seeing that movie. Followed up by "Vince Vaughn" which means it will probably really suck and have no storyline so it is a maybe rental.

Bottomline: Rogen blows and I will not watch him in anything regardless of who is in it.

I actually agree with you guys, but there's a thing. I appreciate intelligent comedies the likes of Groundhog Day. You know, that old gem with Bill Murray. But sometimes you just gotta lay back and say "screw it" and watch something that will let your mind at ease. Seth Rogen offers that. And as for Sandler playing the same roles in all his movies... His career went downhill when he changed his formula. He could have done Billy Madison for the rest of his life, but he wanted to show a bit more class. So we got stuff like 40 First Dates, and Bedtime Stories. Not class A material, but at least he tried to change up a bit. As for Rogen, he has potential, most of his stuff is impromptu, and he barely even uses the script. He can make stuff up without one and it'll be relevant to the story. So he hasn't made anything ingenious yet, and maybe never will, but he has the potential to. You all need to just relax.

I am drunk. But Seth is Fat and Ugly. In the morning I will be sober but Poor Slothy Seth will still be fat and Ugly. We he will always be ugly. He might lose weight. Fat Turd. He is a modest man, with much to be modest about. Seth's mother was a hamster, and his father smells of elderberries. My god, Seth is to comedy what Helen Keller would have been to competitive paintball.

I think that Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Judd Apatow are all one trick ponies, I used to love movies like Superbad and all that shit, but everywhere I look there is Seth Rogen and his lame ass posse. I like Paul Rudd and thats it, beucase that poor bastard even made clueless kinda funny. I have seen this path for one tirkc actors before, Adam Sandler in classics like Bill Madison and Waterboy and good shit like that, too reign over me and spanglish those movies were god awful. I just feel that those guys all should gone out on top with with the Dewey Cox story that was a good movie. Jonah Hill should never set foot near any type of comedey movie that fucking guy is so fucking lame!!! he plays that smart ass, fucking loser who no one likes but one guy, you know people have made careers out of one chacter, (David Spade, That 70's cast) God it goes back to the burning question its not what you know its who you know, so FUCK SETH ROGEN, JONAH HILL!!!! I wont say nothing else bad about Judd beucase he wrote Heavyweights which is fucking great!!!!

To Anonymous Jerkoff from Dec 1: the people on this site are his audience- namely people looking to go to the movies and have a laugh. We're not getting it from him or his cronies. His movies are shit. His comedy is shit. You are shit. He's no Rodney Dangerfield. He's no Bill Murray. Hell, he's not even as good as Chevy Chase in any one of the numerous bombs he put out over the past three decades. His success is a testament to being part of the old ...... network.

Thank you!!! For a while, I thought I was the only one who thought Seth Rogen is overrated and is heading down the same path as Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and other comedians who have become obnoxious with their tired antics. I watched "Pineapple Express" and I thought to myself "How did the critics find this stupid thing amusing?" At first, I thought I was being judgmental but I was right, it's the same ridiculous and juvenile routine with every movie he does while rarely offering anything new. Thanks Hollywood for spewing out mindless, uncreative, boring and shallow garbage at us once again!!!

Seth Rogen was funnier as a side character. And now his overrated success is going to destroy the Green Hornet for us forever. So disappointing.

Nope. Tired of this guy. 40-Year Old Virgin.. funny, but not because of him. And looky here.. every movie after that has him playing the same schlubby goofball. Hollywood: PLEASE STOP ALREADY! Sorry to say, but I guess being the connected Jew in Hollywood is all that you need to qualify for that next laughless bomb. I sometimes awake in the middle of the night, hearing his monotone drab delivery and it scares me to death. Please.. please.. please.. find the next guy, and make sure he HAS TALENT and not just connections.

I don't get Seth Rogen. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against him. I don't hate him like Paul Walker, Vin Diesel or some other talentless douchebags I might mention, but I don't find him personally to be funny at all. He has been cast in some funny roles. However, these roles would been funnier had they cast someone who themselves was actually funny as well, yet he seems to be churning out one movie after another. I guess I just don't see the appeal. Someone help me out.

lol alright Isabel (person complaining about seth rogan) you just lost all credibility after you said SCARY MOVIE was your favorite movie of all time.

my fav is in Knocked Up when he goes on and on
about his flash of the stars to kathren higal.

Vapid, insipid, sophomoric, uninspired, derivative, self indulgent... The movies of this ilk are that and much more (or less). Just because a movie panders to the tastes of 14 year olds does not make it funny or insightful. Peppering dialogue with profanities highlights the unimaginative skills of the screenwriter. These movies remind me of most Saturday Night Live skits - not fully conceived, poorly written, overly long and unfunny. SNL has to use a laugh track to blanket the tepid response of their live audience. These movies elicit laughs only from those who feel they have to respond so as to look hip.

i think rogan is completely over rated and not funny. his fame only came from one man and one man only, apatow. he's a fat, goofy looking guy who can make abnormal faces and reactions. wow! what a comic genius! he's just today's trend and he will fade in a few years when our country's attitudes and expectations of film change, as it does every so often. i could tell he was a moronic fad when i first saw his ad on a billboard for superbad. and as far as kevin smith goes, i think he is at least talented, but his following is waning. people got very stuck on the earlier movies and if you haven't noticed, when he dares to try to veer away from his earlier movies, they completely tank. like the porno movie and jersey girl. he vowed not to use silent bob or anymore of those characters for the rest of his career but after jersey girl, he decided to do clerks 2. there are only a few talented comic film actors around now a days, and the only ones i can think of are the ones who became popular 20 or more years ago. longevity shows talent. fads show no talent. it's kind of like asking, "what ever happened to the brat pack? why don't they do more movies?" they were a popular fad for a few years and that's it. later rogan!

I don't think people realize that Kevin Smith films and Seth Rogen films and all that stuff is geared towards a specific audience. God forbid someone in Hollywood chooses to do something for themselves, rather than for the rest of the world. Both Smith and Rogen are hilarious, in my opinion. Zach and Miri MAKE A PORNO, I thought, was absolutely hilarious. They both totally have my sense of humor and they have that awkward personality that I can totally identify myself with. If you don't have their sense of humor, you're not going to like their movies. Stop over-analyzing their work and just enjoy the fact that they're probably one of the most down to earth people left in Hollywood. A few of you mentioned that he doesn't have the appeal that Will Farrel, for instance, has. Farrel movies are a totally different type of comedy. As are Adam Sandler movies....etc etc etc. If you don't like his movies, don't watch them. It's that simple. You're not going to please everyone...and I feel like most of you guys need to pull the stick out of your butts and just appreciate that there are actors/directors/comedians out there that are still true to themselves. I'm rambling, I know, but get a grip guys!

it's not seth rogen. it's kevin smith. i can't even sit through clerks and that's probably his best film. clerks 2, mallrats, dogma, and the one about the lesbian were clumsy romantic comedies with terrible actors. serious, why does he cast these people that could barely carry a community college play?

Rogen is clearly a very talented writer for a relatively young chap, and has had some memorable moments as a comedic actor. Superbad comes to mind.

I don't think he is leading man material, however. Despite his girth he doesn't fill the screen the way Will Farrell or even Steve Carrell do. His range is limited and, to phrase it a bit awkwardly, he isn't a very tactile comedian. By that I mean that he has a ridged and often-flat mannerisms that even in the chase scene in Pineapple Express make his acting seem forced. I think he should stick to writing and character acting.

Drillbit Taylor was way more funny than Pineapple Express. I understand that you probably have to be high to enjoy Pineapple to it's fullest extent, but most other stoner movies still have an appeal to the sober that Pineapple missed.

best rogen moment was when he ta;ls to katherine heigl and simulates sex while on the phone in knocked up

congrats to obama

If the movie were called Zack and Miri Learn Valuable Life Lessons, it would have been #1. The soft American-movie goer wants nothing to do with sex.

As for my favorite Rogen moment?

His rant about his gun being like a 2nd dick in Superbad was hilarious.

"Your face looks like Robin Williams' knuckles."

Priceless.

Just because Seth Rogen made on not so great movie (porno) doesnt mean he is done forever. His previous 4 movies have become classics. I am sure there is a ton of great material in the future for Rogen.

Beth Seth Rogen line ever - from 40 Year Old Virgin...

"Be like David Caruso in Jade."

Here's a good example of why Seth Rogen is great: Saving Silverman, a movie from several years ago, came on tv the other day. I once thought it was somewhat funny, but after watching it that day....I realized it sucked and that it had a dated feel to it. The Apatow/Rogen movies have dated so many of those teen comedies from the late 90's/early 00's. They are smartly-written, and do seem more grounded in reality than others.

Seth Rogen is not overexposed. The problem is "Make a Porno" didn't get the marketing muscle it needed. A selling point was "Make a Porno," and a ton of markets didn't get that--they only got "Zack and Miri."

Besides, it's a Kevin Smith movie. They never do well in theaters. It'll explode on DVD.

Seth Rogen is great. His most endearing quality in his writing and his acting is that he's genuine. Call it method acting/writing if you will, but he's funny and believable in his dialogue and actions. The bromance in "Superbad" between Cera and Hill is a perfect example, and you can pick any scene of "Knocked Up," he's in for another example.

Best Seth Moment:

40-Year Old Virgin when he's writing his novel, saying what he's putting on paper out loud.

I love Seth Rogen and his work. He is an icon in the new golden age of comedy and will continue to be in the spotlight for quite some time. All these people who are criticizing him now will surely come around in a decade or so (that's what critics do: play it safe).

Now when you say someone is on a downslope because of total gross, then you're ignorant to consider other important factors. First you have to consider how much advertising was put into Zach & Miri compared to others like Pinneapple Express, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and Knocked Up. Then you have to consider the budgets for all these movies. Once you do that, you will realize that all these movies are somewhat, if not, a huge success.

Wake the hell up people! You all have to SEE a movie without reading a review first so no bullshit reviews cloud your mind while you're watching.

Favorite Seth Moment:

The scene where he is making an analogy of screwing to growing "pot plants" in The 40 Year Old Virgin.

I really believe every word that has came out of his work on screen is absolute genius to comedy's progression. Therefore, there is no bad moment for me.

Best - "You know how I know you're gay?"

Worst - His dry and unfunny role in the dry and unfunny "You, Me, and Dupree"

I can't tell you why America stayed away from "Make a Porno," but I can tell you why I did. I isn't Seth Rogan. No, I'd be happy if that guy had a movie come out every three months as long as they just let him do his stuff.

The reason I stayed away is Kevin Smith. I thought the guy could do no wrong in high school. Ten years later, I struggle to find anything good about his films. Prurient dialog for its own sake is fine when you're a giggling 16-year-old, but when there's no wit or solid delivery to back it up it becomes stale quickly. Just the title alone seemed like an attempt at a teenager attention-grab. I honestly think I would have considered checking the movie out eventually had it just been called "Zack & Miri."

I would have to say that Seth Rogen is the most overexposed Comic actor in Hollywood. He's funny in bit parts, but man, As a leading man and as a writer, I hate to say it, I could write better stuff then Rogen.(Yes I know, some Rogen lover is probably gonna read this and F me out but come on, anyone listen to the dialouge in Superbad and Pineapple Express? Is the F bomb dropped ninety million times really that funny? That's a rethorical question. No it's not

The best thing Rogen does is he grounds the character. You'd actually believe that he was an actual person. To some that's just called good acting, but it's what makes his films stand out from other comedies. There's a heart in all of them.

I'm an unconditional Rogen supporter. Since "The Road" doesn't look like it'll be hitting theatres this year, "Pineapple Express" is my pick for Best Pic. It'll never get the nomination, but it was the only movie I've seen all year long that I really liked("W." was alright, but they left out the part about kidnapped 5-year-old boys taking part in satanic ritual abuse). And who could forget Rogen's role in Donnie Darko("I like your boobs...")?

Best:
As a cop in Superbad, his chemistry with Bill Hader is amazing. He also has great chemistry with Paul Rudd (Steely Dan gargles my balls!).

Worst:
His bizarre relationship with a high school girl in Pineapple Express.

The Hotel room scene in "Knocked Up" with Paul Rudd, on mushrooms. That's one of his funniest. And the morning after scene in the Diner with Heigl.

it was halloween. their "target market demographic" was out opening weekend. and the fact that some theaters aren't showing it because they're scared of a word could help it's lackluster opening. i didn't see it because i had shit to do but i plan on going very soon. i can't wait for the dvd though.

Indeed, Halloween is for drinking, not for thinking. I look forward to seeing the movie someday....

Ok so first off I don't think 10.7 Mill is a failure, especially for a Kevin Smith film. Second look at the day it was released, Halloween, it had to compete with that factor as well. Who cares about High School Musical whatever, parents are going to have to see that with there kids unfortunately. I think is pothead role does get old so I'm glad his character wasn't all about smokin it up, which is known for Kevin Smiths 2 infamous characters. I think this film would have done better if conservative's didn't get so high and mighty about the word porno, when we all know everyone watches it, but thats the dirty little secret i guess.

Seth is still beyond getting on my nerves. He has released only two, maybe three movies a year, and they have all been hits/BIG hits. I am yet to see PINEAPPLE EXPRESS (hasn't opened in Venezuela) but I'll go for the whole hotel room scene with Rudd in KNOCKED UP as his funniest tied with your pick, and his work on KUNG FU PANDA the most useless.
