Well I kinda would like to say that the storyline of the movie is hollow, it could be far better.
Seth Rogen was a very bad choice for the lead role, his role as a failed organic product selling chemist was indeed different but 'different' doesn't always help. Moreover, Seth Rogen is more of a supporting artist, its better that way, for example he did well in 50/50. However, Barbra Streisand as supporting actress performed a good job acting well all the way.
Other small yet important features like dialogs and music of the movie are not mind catching either. Dialogs could be able to help a lot to make this movie extremely funny, but I think that aspect was ignored.
The ending of the movie however is better than other movies of its kind, the moment Joyce (Barbra Streisand) finds out that the name of Andrew Margoulis' daughter is also Joyce. Its kind of heart touching and hence the movie makes a good ending.
Overall (5/10).
