New York Times:
The director Judd Apatow and the actress Leslie Mann have been married for more than 10 years. The following is a transcript of an argument they have two or three times a year, or whenever presents need to be given. This conflict will never be resolved.

Maybe I just don't get this type of entertainment - I'm not a fan of dumb and dumber humour. Let's hope that that the "dialogue" was in jest - and they aren't as shallow as the article made them out to be. Speaking of presents, among the most giving gift can be obtained from: http://www
411 to Judd ( and all men):
Always buy a woman a useless present. Useless to you.
As for the tin-ear dialogue: reread Ezra Pound's classic: The ABC of Reading. (Pound, unknown to most US writers because of political accusations against him and a subsequent stint in a mental hospital courtesy of the US govt, was editor and mentor to four Nobel Prize winners in Literature: T.S. Eliot (Pound edited The Wasteland), Ernest Hemingway (edited For Whom The Bell Tolls), William Butler Yeats, and James Joyce (edited Ulysses).
Yawn.
Spare us.
ps Third rate dialog.
Charlie Wilson's War was given a beat-down in popularity by Alvin and the Chipmunks. Cool.
This reminds me why I avoid Apatow's movies like the plague. Navel gazing is beyond boring. Woody Allen did it to death in the 70s and 80s. But at least Allen could write.
Not so funny. I was ready to laugh, as Im a fan of his films. But I found it to be a little self indulgent.
Wonderful dialog.
No wonder half the movies released these days were either produced, written, or directed by Apatow.
Leslie Mann is just beginning to get the attention she deserves. I've liked her ever since she appeared, briefly, as Maxine Bahn's "unconsummated lover" in Ed Burns' "She's the one".
