Are these people writing the acidic reviews kidding? "Knocked Up", a comedy and love story about a pair of mismated lovers that brew up a child, is the funniest and most touching film I've seen in months. It has humor, good acting, strong production values and a topical message for people that like that sort of thing. It is escapist fare for the 20-something set that also appeals to anyone that's seen a Doris Day-Rock Hudson screwball comedy. Had that pair made their films in the new century, the result surely would have been "Knocked Up".
I'd recommend this movie to anyone above the age of PG-13 viewership and even to some kids younger than that. This, principally, is because of the way the film deals with the awkward situation created when a couple meets in a bar, has a one nighter, and that results in a child. Much of what goes on in this film is a realistic portrayal of the realities of such a situation. The rest is done for fun and this movie is a lot of fun.
There is no question why this film was an overwhelming hit both in the theaters and with critics around the world. It has all the elements of great filmmaking -- likeable characters, situations the audience can relate to, very strong production values and good acting in all the principal roles. While the characterizations are two dimensional, that should not detract from anyone's enjoyment of this flick. If you are one of the few people on this planet that hasn't seen this movie yet, go out to your local video store and rent it or buy it at the modest price Amazon vendors ask. Unlike the few recalcitrant critics around here, you won't regret it.

Horrible, terrible, awful! There are not enough words to describe this movie. I finally had to turn it off about half way through because it was absolute torture to watch the rest. Bad acting and a total lack of chemistry between the characters. All I can say is that I am thankful that I didn't spend the money to see this in the theater. Don't waste your time or your money!

I don't honestly get the appeal of this movie. I'd heard a lot of good buzz about it while it was in the theaters, but in truth, I watched about 20 minutes of it and gave up throwing good minutes-of-my-life after bad.
Part of it is that Katherine Heigl's recent interviews on this movie and on Grey's Anatomy have left me with little respect for her, making it kind of hard to listen to her shrillness.
The general plot of the movie isn't believable (since when does a successful woman decide to date the high school drop out, even if she does get pregnant by him?) and believability is forgivable if the comedic potential is realized, but here it is not, which simply leaves me feeling like it's trying to be absurd but somehow failing.

The message Hollywood appears to be sending burgeoning cradle to
grave twenty-something consumers in this crude, unintelligent,
pathetic film is "Go ahead! Be irresponsible! Show a complete and
utter lack of common sense! Have no self-respect and get pregnant
out of wedlock with the next drunken rube who comes along! Why?
Because everybody loves babies!"
This film is as offensive and unsettling as movies can get. There's
absolutely no resonance to the film....no emotional core to help
even justify the ludicrous relationship between these two
characters and what transpires. The film's bottom line is
sometimes (often?) white, middle class twenty-somethings get
drunk, and babies are born....and sometimes (almost never?)
the egg donor and the sperm donor end up staying together
against all odds and the child is subsequently raised in a
loving, healthy family environment. Needless to say, the
f-bombs tossed around in the movie are beyond overkill, as
are the adolescent antics of the male lead and his
neanderthal roommates. Simply put, it's a horrible film.
Still, the overwhelming sucess of this movie among young adults
(I use the term "adults" loosely) and the film's beyond misguided
attempt at providing a "heartwarming" love story under the guise
of "comedy" holds up a very real mirror to the American cultural
obsession with motherhood, pregnancy and childbirth on the one
hand and Hollywood's stop-at-nothing attitude toward harnessing
the basest aspects of American youth culture in order to make a
buck.
Katherine Heigl was right when she claimed the subject matter of
Knocked Up was offensive to women. The title says it all. If only
the beautiful and talented Ms. Heigl had steered clear of the movie
altogether and directed her talents to a more worthy endeavor. I'm
sure she would be the first to agree.
