“From the director of Superbad…” No shit. Greg Mottola found insane success with his first teenage romp (with heart, mind you, miles and miles of heart!), so taking a page from the Hollywood Comedy Manual, he decided to pretty much make the same film once again.

Mottola’s pre-production to do list:

• Get Michael Cera. Not available? Get another awkward yet relatable dork.
• Get hot young actress who will inexplicable fall for the dork.
• Get that guy from SNL, you know, what’s his name… Got him! Cool. And Loren Michaels will throw in the girl too? Very Cool.
• Get that creepy kid kid from that Apatow show, you know, what’s his name…
• Quickly, very quickly, throw a script together.

Tada! I’m sure it will deliver a few chuckles, amusement parks are inherently funny. Can’t quite figure out what Ryan Reynolds is doing in this though, small part (think he’s Canadian, they don’t turn down anything).

Music: Big points for Rush (and air drumming), points deducted for “Blister in The Sun,” no one need to hear that song again.

Release Date: 7 March 2009
