I really enjoyed this movie! I enjoy Disney movies like "Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast" and I like romantic comedies. Here we have both
Amy Adams really plays the typical Disney princess stranded in the real world very well. I also enjoyed the songs. It was a good choice to let Alan Menken, who has won Oscars for the songs in "Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast" and other Disney movies, write them.
This movie really feels like a live-action version of a classic Disney fairy tale movie.

OK... I kinda have mixed feelings here. On the one hand I enjoyed the styory they were telling here. On the other it did get ratherf weird in parts. And while I would say over all it was good, I am not sure it was best picture winner good. At least not in my opinion. Though I did like the cast... and do like that Jamie Lee Curtis got the win for best supporting actress from this film. I have always been a fan of hers. Over all I would say I liked it. Especially for the price I paid... $1.75 for the 4K release brand new at a pawn shop! I would recommend, with caution... as I said it does get weird in parts.

Plot:
College life as seen through the eyes of Steven Karp, a freshman determined to reinvent himself at a new school. Faced with dilemmas as miserable as being "sexiled" to the rec room while roommates use the bedroom and as dire as confronting a girlfriend's jealous stalker-ex-boyfriend, Steven and his new friends tackle the challenges of higher education. Named one of Time magazine's top ten television shows of 2001 and praised for its "pitch perfect" casting, Undeclared is "one of the cum laude comedies of the new season . . . a sneaky funny hoot with endearingly offbeat characters." (Los Angeles Times)


Undeclared
Season 1.01 Prototype
Writer: Judd Apatow (Original Characters By), Judd Apatow (Writer)
Director: Jake Kasdan
Cast: Jay Baruchel (Steven Karp), Carla Gallo (Lizzie Exley), Charlie Hunnam (Lloyd Haythe), Monica Keena (Rachel Lindquist), Seth Rogen (Ron Garner), Timm Sharp (Marshall Nesbitt), Loudon Wainwright III (Hal Karp), Kevin Rankin (Lucien), Jarrett Grode (Perry), Simon Helberg (Jack), Jenna Fischer (Sorority Girl), Mandy Freund (Red-Headed Woman), Jennifer Shon (Pretty Girl), Tom Welling (Tom), Leroy Adams (Football Player), Alex Breckenridge (Prim and Proper Girl), Lizzy Caplan (Beautiful Girl), Jason Segel (Eric)

This series is made by the same people that made Freaks & Geeks. This time, instead of high school, it plays at a university. And it is not an hour drama, but half-hour comedy. Familiar faces from Freaks & Geeks so far are Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. Like Freaks & Geeks it only lasted one season.
I enjoyed this pilot episode.
There was a small cameo by Tom Welling. It must have been around the time he started his work on Smallville.
