Thats one reason I love working at a four screen. No one gets past us. NO One. We do head counts and are very good with faces. Mainly because its the same ones everytime.
Anyways. I hate to disagree with Nico. But i don't think putting a more stunning strapping young lad in Rogens place would have made the movie more money. I think the whole point of the movie was the one night stand with the "less fortunate" guy. I know women love seeing all those hollywood hunks in romantic comedys. I just don't think thats the reason they went to watch this one. I also think it struck home for a lot of people. Theres a lot of guys out there who are not commiting suicide right now because they hit a homer with a perfect ten. On the other hand there is a smokin hottie jumping out of a window somewhere because she got wasted enough to sleep with the president of the chess club and it somehow ended up on the internet. I don't think apatow could've done anything to make this movie more beautiful than what it was. It was relateable to almost all kinds of personalities and personas. It was funny and dramatic without making the women too disgusted and the men too bored.
Don't get me wrong. Your probably one of the smartest hombres on this site. I just don't think putting a big time hollywood hunk would've made this movie more money. The movie wouldn't have really made sense and if anything it would've made less money because so.

Aw, Hell, go ahead, disagree with me. Sometimes I'll say something stupid just to make sure you guys are really paying attention and to provoke a response. (You'll find, I think, that ALL my so-called "mistakes," "goofs," "errors in judgment" and other miscellaneous oddities were just part of an organized "[b.]s[.]ting" operation, single-handledly conceived, planned, and executed by myself on behalf of the entire Fantaverse, just to make sure that no one could just get away with saying the most ridiculous crap imaginable, without being called out. I mean, that would just be too much power for one man (rat!) to have, you know? Like, that whole Aqua Teen Hunger Force "prediction"? Total nonsense. You guys "passed" the test! You should feel proud, yessir. Yeppir. No doubt about it, you guys are on your toes!)

And now we have incredibly misleading previews for The Heartbreak Kid. Did the studio think women wouldn't want to see a movie about a guy who breaks up with his wife on their honeymoon? Instead they're marketing it as a "guy has crazy wife and must escape" story.

The only reason im going to see Heartbreak Kid is beacause of the gray hair on the head of Ben Stiller.
