Loved this movie, especially Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte’s performances – both of those guys were so spot on, it was chilling. One of my favorite parts was when they all get to the Red Carpet event and the media blitz is on and Brendan spots Tommy – the intense stare that Tommy gives back is insane! Also that scene was bolstered by the music, I really love Middle Distance Runner and that song “Sun and the Earth” was perfect.

I am really curious as to what Apatow can do with some more serious subject matter. I am actually 100% confident that Sandler will shine in this roll - loved him in Reign Over Me and Punch Drunk Love, but Apatow choosing to cross over beyond just flashes of seriousness (which all his works have), is new territory for him. So long as the film relies more on Sandler than Apatow-buddy Rogen, I think it will turn out.So far the trailers, which are great, seem to emphasize the comedic aspects, but I am more interested in how well the drama is fleshed out. We’ll see. I’m also glad that, in typical Apatow fashion, the TV trailer features a great song - “Ain’t That Strange” by Rhett Miller.
