...again, the Roots once served as a backing band for Dave Matthews, and they’ve made a habit of playing yard concerts for stoned Ivy Leaguers. Movies completely out of touch with mainstream American black culture (like “Collateral” and “Superbad??) use their tunes when they need a rap song to soundtrack an onscreen party. Hell, the Roots have even sampled Radiohead. On “Rising Down,” Roots MC Black Thought says “They can never take the pen away...

...morality. The Apatow canon includes full-frontal shots of both a live-birth and Jason Segel’s penis, as well as characters marked by their chastity and aversion to abortion. Despite their success, even the biggest fans of box office hits such as “Superbad?? would concede that perhaps the most shocking things about these films is their length, with many of them clocking in either at or around a convention-busting two-hour running time.

And it’s already in the dictionary! 3. “McLovin” (“Superbad??)—Because adding “Mc” before adjectives or nouns makes words palatable and more credible. 4. “Ratatouille” (“Ratatouille”)—As New York Times film critic A.O.

...Live impersonation of Neil Diamond practically groomed him to play the eponymous role. Apatow and director Jake Kasdan (“Orange County”) seem to anticipate this absence, slathering “Walk Hard” with cameos big and small—from “Superbad?? star Jonah Hill, who plays the grown-up ghost of Cox’s dead brother, to Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Jason Schwartzman, and Justin Long, who literally play The Beatles. Instead of the giddy surprise viewers experience during well-placed cameos, such as Ferrell?...
