Movies starring Jason Segel

Slackers (2002)

86 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I was talked into watching "Slackers" after a friend recommended it, with the line "It's like American Pie, but with intelligence". Oh what a mistake, maybe I misheard him, but "Slackers" is definitely not an intelligent vers...

11:14 (2003)

85 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

"11:14" is the sort of darkly funny movie which makes me wonder what the movers and shakers in Hollywood are thinking. The reason being is that "11:14" is a brilliant movie, totally absurd, convoluted beyond the point of reas...

Knocked Up (2007)

133 mins     Comedy, Romance      

After watching Judd Apatow's "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and seeing the trailer for "Knocked Up" I was expecting another hilarious comedy which would push the boundaries of taste whilst also delivering a meaningful message. I ce...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

111 mins     Comedy      

Here is the thing, Judd Apatow has certainly breathed life into the romantic comedy genre, he's made them edgy and funny, not afraid of making a sex comedy which is risque. And as such I absolutely love what he did with the "...

I Love You, Man (2009)

105 mins     Comedy, Romance      

As a concept I like "I Love You, Man", take your stereotypical romantic comedy elements and place them in a set up of two male friends. It's not exactly clever but a lot of fun as we watch Peter and Sidney become best mates d...

Gulliver's Travels (2010)

85 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

So to put things into context "Gulliver's Travels" is not an adaptation of Jonathan Swift's original stories, it is not a modern update of those stories but takes a few ideas, names and locations and builds a new children's m...

Despicable Me (2010)

95 mins     Animation, Comedy, Crime      

"Despicable Me" is certainly fun and in many ways I can see why it is so popular but for some reason it just didn't amuse me in the same way as some other modern animations have. I think the reason why is that whilst fun for ...

Bad Teacher (2011)

92 mins     Comedy      

In years to come when film schools study why some movies don't work "Bad Teacher" could be one of those on the syllabus. I'm serious because on paper "Bad Teacher" sounds like it should be a success; it has an amusing idea an...

The Muppets (2011)

109 mins     Comedy, Family, Musical      

It's happened again and I have watched a movie and I don't know how I feel about it with plenty which made me smile but plenty which bored me. The movie in question is "The Muppets" because there are times when I found myself...
