Review by Anna Zeitlin. Ive seen a few Seth Rogens movies and I find his comedic work pretty amusing, especially because of his awkward sense of humor and his irresistible laugh that always brightens up my mood. A great read. I laughed at work, I laughed in bed, I laughed just thinking about some of the stories while sitting on the toilet, so I recommended to some friends who also need to laugh. I would say stick to acting if he could act. Author : Seth Rogen.
