This "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 new name and you have "A fresh and hilarious comedy sure to entertain!"
This is one of those movies. There's no originality (in plot or jokes) and it's annoying to watch. I hate movies that like to get cheap laughs. It's insulting to me but obviously the producers know their audience well because it never fails to get a "falling on the floor crying" response out of 12 year olds. And why, why, WHY do people think the more vulgar a movie is and the more they swear the "cooler" and "funnier" the movie is. I'm so tired of the f-bomb getting dropped every other word. Swearing was cool when you were, say, back in middle school. When you're out of college it just makes you sound like trailer trash and uneducated. And I hate how men think it's OK to be vulgar towards women and women actually think it's OK too! Hilarious.
So if you like stupid (as in really stupid) stuff that has a lot of farting, vulgarity and is unoriginal, this is the movie for you. If you're tired of the same ol' stupidity with a different name, then skip this one (along with 90% of all the other "comedies" out there today).

Other 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 Ben and Alison don't want to be. A sweet and funny little slice of improbable but vaguely possible life.

I'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 was laughing with watering eyes and equally much on the second time I watched it with another group of friends. the movie is filled with funny, over the top characters, offensive cracks you cant help but to laugh at, hilarious punchlines and witty humour. At the same time its actually a somewhat touching story aqbout growing up, growing in and out of love and relationships.
if you have reasonable expectations, a good sense of humour and an open mind, you will most likely enjoy this movie a lot.

The Good: Katherine Heigl. She's a "real" actress in a cast full of overgrown pre-pubescent boys lusting after "boobies." The plot is decent, although way too long. Katherine Heigl is engaging and adorable, and I have to say pretty shocking in some of the seedier scenes. Meg Ryan (a la Sally) has got nothing on Katherine!
The Bad: The male cast. The mere notion that even with the thickest beer goggles Katherine Heigl would wind up in bed with Seth Rogen is just absurd. There are also some plot mistakes. For instance, both Allison (Heigl) and Ben (Rogen) say in one breath that they don't remember anything from the fateful night, yet a moment later they both remember the condom moment perfectly. The movie is also riddled with drug use, as well as the f-bomb that seems to purvey all of Apatow's/Rogen's movies. This is essentially another gutter movie (like Superbad), brought up to perhaps the curb by Heigl. Despite some ultimately decent intentions, it just falls short.
The Summary: Allison goes clubbing with her married sister Debbie, where she meets Ben. He buys them beers and after Debbie winds up leaving, Allison and Ben wind up dancing and getting very drunk. One thing leads to another and, well, Allison is pregnant. She is obviously repulsed at the mere thought that she slept with Ben, and now she is pregnant with his child. They spend most of the rest of the movie getting to know each other (and Ben's obnoxiously disgusting friends). There are a few moments of humor but by and large, this movie falls flat and too long.
Rating:  -
This movie was not quite as good as 40-Year Old Virgin, in my eyes, because of too many attempts at slapstick humor. Apatow's films could do with more subtle and clever humor.
However, I do think that this is a good flick to see if you're looking for some goofy humor and have some time on your hands.
