... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreThere are some genuinely funny scenes. Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill are simply hilarious. Kathereine Heigi looks gorgeous and plays her character beautifully. The overall film is a very smart film. The Jokes are not gross. This is a nice comedy film
... View MoreIt is not funny at all. Not a haha or he or chuckle. The biggest movie sin of all time. What's uncomfortable? People Bickering, arguing, woman lamenting through the whole movie, and men being portrayed as 5 year olds. is not fun to watch. The guy is a prototypical moron and she is shrill and not fun to watch. tor won't deliver your babyThe plot was lame and his friends are the biggest slackers ever portrayed. Also it's depressing! The movie has such a negative outlook on family why would you want one?
... View MoreI think there's been a general notion recently that, at least among the mainstream demographic, the Romantic comedy is dead. So with that in mind, there's some good news and bad news. The good news is that the genre has been saved by a gifted young writer named Judd Apatow. The bad news: It isn't very pretty.It's sad but true. His film is crude and does very little to restore confidence to the institution of fatherhood. The PTA in this child's future school district is rightfully going to be frightened to death.At the same time, "Knocked Up" probably comes closer to portraying modern romance more than any attempt at romantic comedy in recent years. As sad as it is to admit, romance these days is more about drunken hook-ups than it is about screwball-comedy-type courting and today's standard of chivalry might be a guy like Rogen's character, willing to commit to a girl he knocked up instead of Cary Grant.
... View MoreKnocked Up is a straight-out comedy with a hilarious screenplay that is filled with cultural references. The premise of the story is that two people hook up one night and it leads to an unwanted pregnancy. Due to the unwillingness of the mother to part with her baby, the two of them decide to give a shot at having an actual relationship which is what we see in the rest of the movie.Ben (Seth Rogen) is a slacker with no job who hangs around with a bunch of like-minded friends whose only ambition in life is to get high. Alison (Katherine Heigl) is the complete opposite of Ben with a settled life as an entertainment news reporter. Even though both of them cannot have more distinct personalities, they somehow manage to make things work.There is a wonderful support cast featuring Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and Jason Segel. All of the characters are well developed with Paul Rudd being exceptionally good. The minor hiccup in the movie is the development of Alison who is a contradiction. The story does take a lot of liberties when characters make some terrible judgments. However, as this is a comedy movie, we can cut the filmmakers some slack.Knocked Up manages to deal with the subject amiably without getting too preachy. If you want to enjoy a few laughs and see some terrific comedy actors, then this is the movie for you.
