Knocked Up (Unrated) Reviews:
loved it!
2008-07-24 - Wow, some of you people need to lighten up! This movie is very funny and gets even funnier the more I watch it. I didn't expect it to be as funny as it is. Yes, it's vulgar in some parts, so I wouldn't want the kids to see it, but if you are over 21 you should be able to handle it.
I do however agree that in real life, a beautiful woman like Allison falling for a guy like Ben is a hard sell, but since when do movies ever represent reality? The scene at the nightclub with the doorman is simply hysterical. I give it two, very enthusiastic thumbs up. :)

Love it
2008-07-18 - This is such a great movie...I saw it twice at the theatre, and I cant wait to get the DVD!

Best movie I've seen in months
2008-07-16 - 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.

Awful movie
2008-07-07 - 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!

Mildly entertaining at best
2008-06-30 - 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.
