While Rob Schneider makes a living rehashing the same tiresome lowest common denominator-enticing characters, Seth Rogen aims slightly higher and frequently targets the mid-twenties stoner demographic, swapping Schneider's over the top shtick for the stereotypical "guy who won't grow up and face his responsibilities" character. Rogen certainly isn't as offensive to watch, but after you've seen a few of his movies it gets increasingly difficult to distinguish one from the other. He's the kind of actor you always assume is essentially playing a slightly modified version of himself; there's little variation to his mannerisms and gestures, or indeed the characters these are supposed to be accentuating. With no less than eight Seth Rogen movies on the way he isn't short of work - let's just hope he avoids ruining any more potentially interesting comic book properties as he did with his vanity project The Green Hornet.
