seth rogen is the most adorable man in show business. apparently, that doesn't translate well to an action character, though pineapple express made a much stronger argument than the green hornet. (do see pineapple express!)
i went in thinking / hoping this might be good, but it wasn't. it wasn't bad; it just wasn't good. seth rogen plays that seth rogen character, his sidekick wasn't interesting, cameron diaz wasn't onscreen enough, the bad guy wasn't scary (a plot point that was surprisingly on target).
the movie was gadget-heavy, though not compellingly so. 3-D was rarely put to good use, let alone worthy of IMAX-size screening. there were moments of scott pilgrim -esque graphics embedded into the movie, but not done so well, and not done anywhere near enough to being an interruption when they did appear.
wow. i wanted to like it...sorry, can't recommend it.
