2007's Judd Apatow hit 'Knocked Up' was the first of a few 'smash hits' in the young comedy genre of film for the year, starring Seth Rogen as Ben Stone a slacker trying to start up an internet business with his buddies that points out when women are naked in different movies, who gets lucky when he hooks up with E networks newest onscreen personality Alison Scott(Katherine Heigl).
When one night of fun turns into a highly unexpected pregnancy for Alison, how will she cope with the idea of her own baby, plus Ben's childlike behaviors.
To be frank, Knocked up has it's funny parts, but I just can't get around the point of looking at having a baby as something so casual. I prefer Stepbrothers, or Superbad.

I really wanted to like this movie, but it just fell completely flat for me. The acting was good, but I didn't find hardly any of it funny. Maybe it's just "guy humor" that I don't understand, or my unexplainable, intense fear of pregnancy and babies, but overall the movie was just disgusting to me.

*** 2007. Written and directed by Judd Apatow. Ben Stone and Alison Scott are going to have a baby. They don't know each other very well, they don't have the same interests and are not at all prepared to become parents. Coarse and crude, the film is presented as an example of the new American comedy. Why not, after all ? I smiled two or three times then vainly tried to find what the director wanted to tell us with KNOCKED UP and finally gave up. It wasn't worth the time and my energy. Already forgotten.

PLACE 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 that makes those good. It's still great, but just not as hilarious and memorable as the other members of the holy five.
THE BEST: Ben has a nice character arc with some really cool development, which really adds a nice level of emotion to the comedy. Because if there is no heart or reason why the story matters, it might as well be a Will Ferrell film. The hilarious and ever crude dialogue is consistently hilarious. There were a lot of laugh-out-loud scenes and lines, and more than enough quotable dialogue that we've come to expect from Apatow films. Also, Seth Rogen is--as always--fantastic. Perhaps best of all, the supporting cast we associate with these films is all here.
THE WORST: It probably could have been a bit shorter. It's not that I was bored, because I wasn't at all; I just think the film could have been tighter had a few scenes been cut. It just seems like a bit less work went into making this as compact a film as other Apatow productions.
MISSING THE POINT: It baffles me that two of the three most popular reviews that get the spotlight are negative... and that they totally missed the point of the movie. Their cheif complaint is that the two main characters are light years apart in sophistication and looks, but in the end, I thought that while Ben (Rogan) was certainly a slacker with a lot he had to work on, he was--at his core--a truly caring person who was able to come through and be the man he needed to be. He was certainly as good a person as Alison (Heigl). And the looks thing? Really? Let's not be shallow, now.
OVERALL: It's a fantastic film, even though it doesn't quite measure up to the best work Apatow and co. have put out. However, that doesn't make it any less watchable. Like the other members of the holy five, it's something that needs to be in your DVD collection if you consider yourself a fan of comedy.
8/10

I 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
