Another Judd Apatow Example of weak male characters
This is yet another Judd Apatow movie where he makes single and free life look like it will lead you to a pit of drug induced, confusing and painful despair. He tries to promote monogamy relationships even if someone just broke up and needs some single time (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), if the situation is creepily unbalanced by age (Pineapple Express) or if the situation makes absolutely no logical or believable sense whatsoever (Knocked Up). In Get Him to the Greek Jonah Hill's character is in a relationship with a bitchy boring workaholic he has little in common with, the movie doesn't attempt to give us reasons they are even together so when they break up it's a big duh moment. Then Jonah Hills life starts getting a lil crazy which he attributes to the break up of him and his lame girlfriend and not to the fact that he's hanging out and doing the same things as a tweaker rock star. He runs back into her arms, quitting his total dream job so he can move to another city where HER dream job is. Fucking Judd Apatow and his weak male characters who love bitchy boring women...I kid you not, in every Judd Apatow movie is a broken lovable man who puts up with some bitchy boring woman because he feels it's his duty. Name a title, I'll point out the couple....
