It was a long, strange road that led Seth Rogen to becoming one of the most famous American comedians working today.

So before we all head out to check out his much-anticipated update on the more than 70-year-old Green Hornet story, let’s take a quick look back at my favorites of the movies that made him what he is now! 

Paul Rudd and Steve Carell team up for the third time, after The 40-Year-Old Virgin and the classic Anchorman, in a comedy about the hopelessly geeky at the mercy of the heartlessly wealthy. Based on a French comedy by almost the same name, Dinner For Schmucks features an ensemble cast and an unusual adeptness for adapting a foreign idea into a surprisingly entertaining American comedy. Come read our review before it's released on July 30th!
