Examples

“Segel, who may not have a third or fourth gear, plays Peter Bretter, a recognizable Apatovian hero: he thinks obsessively about sex, and at the same time he's an instinctively moral man.”

“Go for a comedy, and you end up with Apatovian beta males whose emotions are largely tied up in the diminishing value of their comic-book collections.”

“Yet without the Apatovian arc of its predecessor, it also feels a bit like a regression—especially given its typical sequel strategy of undoing the hard work of the previous film.”
