The Inevitable Downfall Of The Judd Apatow Comedy

In the early 2000's it seemed Judd Apatow had a stranglehold on the comedy scene. Movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Anchorman, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Pineapple Express were instant classics. But in 2009, his release Funny People seemed to mark a dramatic shift in Judd Apatow's career. He had moved on from the crazy, raunchy comedy, and towards a more personal take on his stories. Today he seems to be a sort of Godfather of Comedy for many up and coming creatives, and maybe that's all we need.
