Editorial Review: Description: The writer and director of The 40-year-old Virgin delivers another a hilarious hit comedy! They say that opposites attract. Well, for slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case - at least for one intoxicated evening. Two months and several pregnancy tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny, anxious and heartwarming journey that leads to huge laughs in the most outrageous comedy of the year! Amazon.com: Unwanted pregnancy might sound like a risky subject for slapstick comedy, but Knocked Up is from writer-director Judd Apatow--so we are in the hands of a man who likes to push things. And like Apatow's predecessor, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up is a shaggy crowd-pleaser, a comedy strewn with vulgarity but with a sweet heart at its center. A one-night stand between the utterly mismatched Ben (Seth Rogen, his first starring role) and Alison (Katherine Heigl) results in said pregnancy, and the two people reunite for mutual support--even though they barely know each other. Ben's a slob who lives with four other guys, all of whom share the same stunted approach to maturity; Alison is a new on-air personality at the E! channel. That these two eventually develop a shared understanding and affection is perhaps the movie's biggest stretch (some of the male-humor jokes amongst the guys are idiotic enough to test anybody's hope of civilizing them). Rogen and Heigl don't really jump off the screen, but, to be fair, the movie frequently needs them to play straight while the supporting cast cuts up. Virgin vets Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd are around to supply some humor, as Alison's sister and brother-in-law, and the four idiots who live with Ben (Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Jason Siegel, and Martin Starr) are in their own zone of sophomoric bad taste. Still, by 40-Year-Old Virgin standards, this movie doesn't explode, and it sometimes feels ramshackle to the point of not being thought out. Apatow's indulgence of actors creates some fine moments (Paul Rudd seems to have most of them), but it can also make a movie feel flabby, and this one is overlong by the length of a belly. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - True Apatow GloriousnessPLACE IN THE HOLY FIVE: Judd Apatow is arguably the best producer of comedy films in the biz. Despite some some recent stinkers), the man has shown than he truly knows how to make great comedy that has as much heart as it does vulgarity. In my opinion, five of his films stand out as top notch. Those five are Superbad, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and this movie, "Knocked Up." While "Knocked Up" is definitely the weakest of the five, it still have everything ... Read More Rating:  - Knocked Up movieI haven't been too fond of K Heigl, but I have liked this movie and 27 Dresses - I liked how this movie unfolded and ended - maybe I will like her after all - maybe not Rating:  - OverdoneThis "comedy" is just like all the others out there today. For some reason a movie made flatulance, sex and drugging funny. Because it was a success in that first movie it seems every single "comedy" since has fallen into the same trap. Instead of being original and coming up with their own jokes they copy all the other movies and repeat it verbatim. The only difference is they take different actors and actresses and make it "unpredictable" by changing up where the jokes are going to go. Give it a ... Read More Rating: - A fresh surpriseOther than Paul Rudd, I'd never seen any of the leading actors in anything. This film is a lot of fun. If I have to pick a fave moment it would probably be the initial "bonding" conversation between Alison and Ben's roommate's girlfriend, which captures stoner "logic" better than most such scenes. Re: the relationship between Alison's sister and her husband, I didn't see it as absolutely awful so much as a phase when the marriage was unusually challenged, which, of course, serves as an example of what ... Read More Rating: - learn to laugh alreadyI'd like to ask a question from the people who ended up writing angry and bitter reviews about how stupid and juvenile this movie is; what on EARTH were you expecting when you decided to watch a movie with a cover like this titled Knocked Up? come on, the whole movie is based on a nerdy guy who gets a girl pregnant after a drunken one night stand. this is not a cimnematic masterpiece - its predictable, stereotypical, and at times rather vulgar and childish. is it funny though? absolutely, I ...
