The 40-Year-Old Virgin: Very, very funny. I can't remember the last movie I saw at which I laughed that frequently. (Maybe Highlander: Endgame?) Very sweet, too. I've always liked Steve Carell, so good on 'im.

There was a preview for Serenity before the movie, too -- finally. It seems like every other film I've seen over the summer has had Serenity previews in every OTHER chain but the one I went to. September's gonna be jam-packed with goodness.

Oh -- we had pizza with all of the neighbors on our cul-de-sac tonight. They're all nice folks, so it was good to catch up with them. They have MANY children. Everyone loves Indy on sight, which is appropriate, because he is a Good Dog.

Yeah, I think that's where I first saw it. When I thought of laughing a great deal during a movie, the first image that popped into my head was that guy's head morphing into other people's heads in a special effect that would've looked crappy even on a BBC sci-fi series. ;)

I agree about the movie; in general, I think comedy's the one genre (broadly speaking) where weak plot isn't terribly damaging. It can work fine as just a vehicle for characters/jokes if the characters and jokes are strong enough. In this case, I think they were.
