Rogen, the master of levity is one of those writers who revolutionized comedy in Hollywood with his uncanny ability to conjure comedy in the most mundane scenarios.
Be it Dale Denton in Pineapple Express, or the slacker in the rom-com Knocked-Up, Rogen has a class of his own. Much like the bratpack of the 80s, Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Evan Goldberg are the “jerkpack” of the early 2000s who managed to leave the audience in splits with their outlandish and outrageous comic roles.
From writing the script of Superbad at the age of 14 to directing The Interview, both with his childhood friend Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen, the 39-year-old ebullient Canadian-American actor/director/writer/ has indeed come a long way.
Read this book which is a journey through Rogen’s cinematic career spanning more than twenty decades, with three of his feel-good witty movies, namely, Knocked-Up, 40-Year-Old Virgin, and This is the End, interwoven with the exquisite off-the-screen funny moments and anecdotes written in a narrative heft.
The book also brings the reader the exquisite details of a fractured relationship between Rogen and his long-time friend and co-actor Franco following scandalous sexual allegations against him.
