Not even his worst movie by a long shot, like Year One or Youth in Revolt.

I still wish they let him cut loose like he wanted. There's a whole bit where the viewer is signaled with numerology, showing a number, a number of things or verbally saying the number representing each ex so as the movie progresses it's a countdown. In one of the final scenes the last ex offers Scott a "Coke Zero" and would have a waitress bring it out to him, implying he's not even worthy to be among Ramona's exes, just a complete nothing.

Cera said that he fought hard to be allowed to not just knock the platter holding the Coke Zero out of the waitress' hands, but to also punch her in the face as a "you've created a monster" moment. They wouldn't set it up to happen, though, because they already reworked so much of the screenplay to prevent any guys beating on girls, which, you know, Hollywood. Or Toronto.
