Review
Knocked Up (2007)
*** 12 (out of 4)
Hilarious and often times touching story of a slacker man (Ben Stone) who knocks up a woman (Katherine Heigl) after a one night stand and the downfall that follows. This is from the same man who made The 40YearOld Virgin and like that film this one here isn't afraid to attack stereotypes but the director is smart enough to add some serious moments to the mix. We've seen countless raunchy comedies in the past but this film here throws in a heart and some serious moments that makes the film a lot better than it would have been in lesser hands. Rogen and Heigl are terrific together and the supporting cast including Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are just as impressive. I watched this with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed the film but we also say things differently just like the men and women in this film.
