Judd Apatow is over-rated, not to mention a sexist.
That's true.
I'd like to hear how he's sexist... His films are about 20-something bachelors, who obviously are going to objectify women.
My existence (along with countless others) refutes this statement. Please say you see the inherent problem with it.
I see what you're saying, but as a counterargument it doesn't hold up. I, for one, am probably more like you.. one who doesn't talk about my genetalia whenever the chance arises, degrade women on a regular basis, and watches porn at all times in the day... with that said, I think there are people out there like the characters in this film. In fact, I know 2 that live in the apartment above me.. they're both 25.. they play "Rock Band" all day and talk about women in the same fashion. The last time I had a few beers with them, I swear I was in a Apatow comedy. Just because you are different from the characters in these films, doesn't mean they don't reflect real life people. And besides, you totally dismissed my argument on how Apatow is not asking us to emulate and/or sympathize with these characters.. we're supposed to be offended by the raunchiness of Romany Malco's misguided teachings of the "taming" the other sex. I think we're being too hard on Mr. Apatow.. who, with a wife and two girls, probably has great respect and admiration for the women in his life.
You can't validate the stereotype that you are using to defend the film by pointing to a regular occurrence of the real-life analogue. It's not to say that those people don't exist, but their existence doesn't make their regressive depiction ok, especially when they're handled so positively.
Also, having a wife and two girls doesn't say anything about how he thinks. That said, in his directed films, he is not the worst offender out there, probably by far. I'll reiterate what I said earlier, he seems much worse when you see the things he's attached to that he didn't direct.
Just as an example though, a number of critics have pointed out that you would have never ever seen
Knocked Up with the female and her female friends in the same roles as the main character and his friends, as less than likable losers getting the sexy male mate. The fact that it all but certainly doesn't work with is pretty clear to me. It's not an uncommon trope for what people are calling the "nerd fantasy".
