Knocked Up (DVD, 2007, Unrated and Unprotected; Widescreen)

Hollywood's reigning auteur of raunchy romantic comedy, Judd Apatow, scores a knockout with 'Knocked Up' (UNRATED), his extremely funny and sweetly endearing follow-up to 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin'.
With generous helpings of acerbic great humor, sexually graphic dialogue and surprising emotional honesty, Apatow turns the most simple of premises — (a one-night stand stretching to nine months), into a thoroughly winning and frequently hilarious reflection on the pleasures and pitfalls of marriage and parenthood.
Likable "everyman" schlub/Apatow regular Seth Rogen ('Freaks and Geeks') and luminous Katharine Heigl ('Grey's Anatomy') strike comic sparks as the mismatched couple, whose drunken tumble into bed will forever change their lives — "For Better or Worse."
Pudgy, bass-voiced actor/writer Rogen leaves the comic sidekick roles behind as Ben Stone, a genial, pot-smoking slacker living in squalid arrested development with a motley collection of underachievers: Jay (Jay Baruchel), Jason (Jason Segel), Jonah (Jonah Hill) and Martin (Martin Starr). When not firing up the bong or playing juvenile pranks on each other, Ben and his buddies spend their days logging actresses' nude scenes for a website they're allegedly going to launch — that is, if they ever stop partying long enough to do actual work.
Ben goes out-of-his-way to avoid anything resembling gainful employment, 24-year-old Alison Scott (Heigl) is a career woman on the go. To celebrate her promotion to on-air personality at E! Entertainment Television, Alison goes club-hopping with her older sister Debbie (Leslie Mann), the married/harried mother of two little girls. Although Ben hardly fits the image of 'Mr. Right' (or even 'Mr. Right Now'), he and Alison hit it off immediately in a trendy hotspot, dancing and drinking their way back to the scene of the crime, i.e., her bedroom.
Eight weeks later, Alison discovers she's pregnant by a flabby doofus too broke to pay his cell phone bill. Not that Ben's exactly jumping for joy about becoming a father.
The tense exchanges between Debbie and Pete vis-à-vis everything from childcare to his mysterious nights out give 'Knocked Up' a prickly edge that somehow never turns shrilly melodramatic. The laughs keep flowing consistently, even as their marriage serves as a cautionary tale to Ben and Alison, whose relationship is fraught with its own share of issues, both petty and serious.
'Knocked Up' never sounds an overly discordant note, due in large part to Apatow's obvious affection for all his characters. He portrays their foibles, anxieties, and insecurities truthfully, not maliciously. Apatow's empathy for his characters is most evident with regard to Debbie, who could have easily been written (and played) as a shrewish caricature of an entitled, "desperate housewife," but comes across here as essentially decent, fiercely protective of her family, and vulnerable.
In one of the film's funniest and most sharply revealing scenes, Debbie attempts to harangue her way into a nightclub, only to be put in her place by the bouncer, who bluntly tells her exactly why she and the massively pregnant Alison are not getting past the velvet rope. There's an uncomfortable grain of truth in this scene; and many others that gives 'Knocked Up' an emotional resonance that lifts it above most crowd-pleasing summer comedies.

'Knocked Up' (UNRATED) is "MUST-SEE MUST-OWN" !!

I thought that "Knocked Up" was going to be a great comedy to watch on a Friday night. I was disappointed.

The movie spans around the "hot woman" who has the perfect life and job, except for children. She then bumps into the lovable bumbling unemployed nice guy who she hooks up with for one night.

The result of the one night stand is the hot girl becomes pregnant. After this happens the movie goes about exploring how the lovable guy who likes to get high and has no job has to move towards being a stand up, employed, respectable guy. The girl has to move out of her comfort zone and learn to accept the guy for who he is.

There are some nice site gags through the movie and I liked the ongoing "hair/beard" jokes. However, I only found the movie as average. :(

3/5

Great movie, has the same kind of theme as seen before. Boy meets girl girl and boy get to together and find out a baby is coming. But how they both deal with it is funny. There are so many funny parts in this movie. We injoyed the movie alot.

HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie had what I thought would have been a great premise for humor but... it turned out to be more of a LOVE STORY than anything else. The humor was OK for the most part but was rather crude for most of it. The sex scenes are definately NOT for the younger audience so DO NOT watch with the kids in the room. I would compare this to a rather low class version of Porky's, except for the fact that Porky's is a classic and is VERY funny. I'd recommend renting it rather than buying it because most people I talked to said they would NOT watch this twice. BUT KATHERINE HEIGL IS VERY SEXY IN THIS MOVIE ON TH PLUS SIDE!

After watching this movie my husband and I both agree it is one of the best we have seen in a while. Be forewarned that much like The 40 Year Old Virgin (same director) this movie is not for everyone. AND is rated R for a
reason- language, drug use and a couple of (not so glamourous) sex and partially nude scenes, including the crowning of the baby's head at the point of birth. That aside, the storyline maintains the perfect balance between reality-based humor and the seriousness of reality. We found ourselves laughing out loud throughout the entire film. In fact, we laughed so much we woke up the kids... oops... Anyway---

Alison meets Ben at a nightclub. She is out with her sister celebrating a job promotion she has received. After A LOT of alcohol she and Ben hook up for what each thinks is a 1 night stand. However, 8 weeks later Alison learns she is pregnant. And the baby is Ben's. At the beginning of the movie Alison and Ben seem like complete opposites. She is physically attractive, has a successful career and is (usually) a very responsible person. Ben, on the other hand, although charming, is overweight, unemployed and is basically the stereotypical stoner. He and his friends, who are also roommates, are aspiring to launch a website that lists nude and sex scenes in movies according to actress, they have a "dirty man" bet going to see how long 1 of them can go without a shave or hair cut and they get high on pot on a daily basis... Despite thier obvious differences these parents-to-be try very hard to support each other and honestly give thier "relationship" a go for the sake of thier baby.

The movie also has a great ending- not at all what I expected and quite heartwarming... A definite MUST SEE comedy!

It is the classic story of good girl meets bad boy and gets knocked up. It is natural the movie should reach a low point before turning and having a happy ever after ending. My problem is I reached my gag point before the turn occured. Both the guy and the girl were headed so far in the wrong direction I lost all interest in their future. They BOTH were so gross and disgusting I did not feel it worth my time. It may be the lazy insurance scamming drug addicted unemployed porn dealing illegal alien stoner had a change of heart and became a model citizen and the ideal parent (yeah..right) and their child was raised in a healthy loving environment. Someone once asked Ann Landers what they could do about the foul language and degenerate activity on their VCR..and that is exactly what I did. I rejected it about half-way through. That is probably why it did not last long in theatres. I have no doubt that there are hundreds of thousands of fans that will swear Knocked Up is the funniest movie that was ever made and that is ok....BUT if you are one of us that just turned it off you are not alone.

This was a very funny movie. However, don't have any kids within earshot since the language is pretty bad. Would have been better if the "F" word hadn't been in every other sentence. However, if you can get past that, the whole movie is hilarious.
