Writer/director Judd Apatow's follow up to The 40 Year Old Virgin. With a penchant for the aptly titled, his second feature as director is about pot-headed oaf Ben (Seth Rogen) and hot, entertainment TV presenter Alison (Katherine Heigl), who find themselves expecting after a one night stand.
Being both good people at heart, they try to make the situation work. This involves getting along with each other, and their respective 'families' - Ben's stoner friends, and Alison's blunt sister (Leslie Mann) and sister's detached husband (Paul Rudd).
Ultimately, what makes Knocked Up a terrific film--one of the year's best, easily--is its relaxed, shaggy vibe; if it feels improvised in places, that's because Apatow trusts his actors enough to let them make it up as they go, like the people they're playing...
Full reviewUproarious. Line for line, minute to minute, writer-director Judd Apatow's latest effort is more explosively funny, more frequently, than nearly any other major studio release in recent memory...
Full reviewGood fun, probably more so for those who have been through the whole baby thing. It's a little lengthy, and does have a tendency to slip into pregnancy cliches, but ultimately it's a refreshing, amusing, and surprisingly touching comedy...

Funny, but its lacking at the core. Judd Apatow's comedy takes the guy's side of things, but how does the woman feel about all of this?..

Believe the hype, Knocked Up is one of the funniest films of 2007. It's too early in the year to crown it the supreme funniest title, but save for something so funny your head explodes in the theater, I think it'll take the title by year's end. Seth Rogen, we web slackers salute you!..

I reckon, in about a decade, we might look back on Knocked Up and call it a "comic masterpiece".
For now, just grab the least easily offended of your friends and go see it...

The nice thing about Apatow's comedies is that he recognises the human element, avoids easy stereotypes, and works in some character development amid all the funny stuff...
