Jason Segel's starred in a number of movies where, for better or worse, he plays a slightly regressed man-child. But his newest role in The Five-Year Engagement looks to break that trend. Here, he's the good-natured fiance to Emily Blunt, who must watch as her ascension up the career ladder means an increasingly indefinite hiatus for their wedding. Along the way, there's deaths in the family, arrow-related knee injuries, and the typical rom-com pitfalls. 

Paul Feig is the unsung hero of the Judd Apatow Boys Club. He co-created Freaks and Geeks with Apatow, and has since gone on to small-screen successes, directing, writing, and exec-producing for such shows as The Office, Nurse Jackie, Bored to Death. Arrested Development, Parks and Rec, Weeds, and pretty much everything else worth watching on TV that's come out in the last five years. Well, now he's got a movie on his hands, Bridesmaids, which is being marketed as a femme-centric addition to the Apatow oeuvre.

As a Jew whose strongest connections to the faith come via an affinity for Philip Roth novels, a fear of under-cooked meat, Dr. Cuddy from House, and a giant vibrating dreydl, I do my best to avoid covering too many Jew-tinted stories for secular publications as a point of respect for the separation of church and state, which my own home state's depressingly ignorant senatorial candidate didn't even know about. But sometimes a YouTube clip's too good to pass up.

Happy Tears - We grow old. It goes without saying, and yet, we don’t say it much. Happy Tears contends with this inevitability. Parker Posey and Demi Moore play sisters who return home to care for their increasingly delusional father (Rip Torn). Mitchell Lichtenstein, director of vagina dentata classic Teeth, honors his own father, late pop-art star Roy Lichtenstein, by crafting whimsical fantasy sequences that mimic his work. Posey and Moore aren’t always believable as kin and, poetically, it’s left to the old folks to steal the show: Torn’s peculiar brand of crazy -- unlike his character -- never gets old, while Ellen Barkin is downright resplendent as an aging sexpot who claims to be his nurse.

Judd Apatow is a man who creates miracles. He made Adam Sandler funny again. He turned Michael Cera into a quirky-cool sex symbol (the backlash that followed not withstanding). And most astonishingly, he himself was able to convince the insanely attractive Leslie Mann to marry him. As a consequence of his success, the “nerd look” is in ... and it’s an unkempt nerd look, at that. As Seth Rogan, Cera, and their dorky brethren teach us, bathing is optional, video gamers are endearing, and toy collections are an indication of a good father figure. Forget everything you learned watching Hitch and Swingers: if you're looking to snag a nerdcore lady, it behooves you to follow the way of the Apatow.
