Jason Segal plays the same whipped toolbag in every role


Can this dude play anything other than dependable long-term boyfriend? How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this, etc...

He's really just becoming lame and getting typecast. I cannot believe this movie was 2 hours long... wow

Oh my god HE WAS A BOYFRIEND ON THE MUPPETS TOO

He actually didn't play the same character in all of them. He was in "I Love You Man," who was the exact opposite of Tom in this movie. In ILYM his character was a d-bag, non-commiting party type dude, and was a departure from the usual character he plays. Not that ILYM was a good movie or anything, but just sayin

He's not getting typecast - he's writing the same role for himself over and over. And he needs to stop.

He wrote Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Muppets and now this TERRIBLE movie The Five-Year Engagement

This movie was so bad, just awful. It just wasn't funny at all.

But you are right - with stuff he hasn't written, he still plays the same guy.

Well, in FSM, he was the ex, who had to try and win Sarah back.
