In fact, with the heavily Apatowian cast and joke-stylings, I'd barely be able to identify this as a Smith film if it weren't for the expected cameos by Jason Mewes and Clerk. If nothing else, I recommend watching to at least hear The Office's Craig Robinson say "a Star War." It might be lifted from Arrested Developm
