Anna Faris is one of the few, or maybe the only, young comic actor who actually seems to enjoy being in a movie and to be unashamed of enjoying it. Most everyone else treats the camera like someone who has crashed the party they're having with their cool friends. The Apatow crowd doesn't play to the camera; they play to each other.
