His short output includes what is perhaps the quintessential teen gross-out comedy(when someone has sex with an apple pie, I define that as either a “gross-out” comedy or a Hostess executive reacting to an extraordinarily healthy annual report) American Pie, He has also done the final (God please help us) installment in the Meet the Parents “franchise” Little Fockers, and, oddly enough in comparison to these concoctions, the absolutely wonderful understated, poignant and altogether ADULT Nick Hornsby-adaptation of About a Boy.
