had watched 'This is 40' before watching this and honestly ended up liking its sequel more than 'Knocked Up' - this gives you a few good laughs but the characters feel out of place at times and parts of the plot feel lazily written.
Apatow's directorial follow-up to The 40-Year-Old Virgin is Knocked Up, about a one-night stand that results in a pregnancy. In other words, it's an upended romcom where the leads do the deed before getting to know each other, which creates stakes to whether or not they fall in love. Seth Rogen plays his usual lovable stoner and Katherine Heigl is the emotional center of the film without trying to BE funny and just believing the situations and the cast of loonies around her. It all comes out as a sweet feel-good comedy, though one with perhaps too many subplots for its own good. The stoner club trying to get a nudity-based website online, Paul Rudd as the absent husband of Heigl's sister, the internal politics at E!... Most of it pays off, most of it works in isolation, but as part of a larger structure, I'm not sure it all works in tandem with the A-plot. But at least it feels like the characters have lives outside of their romance.
Great movie, the actors involved in the film are all good comedy actors , Paul Rudd was great, even when he imitated Robert De Niro, the film mentions other good actors of comedy, and is basically a group of friends make a movie and have fun with it
4/5

A tip: do not watch it with your catholic stepmother.Scratch47
Not bad at all. Plenty funny but also quite profound on dealing with male-female relationships. The best Apatow film I've seen.Kamrado

I kinda liked it. :)dvdgrdnr
Really hate this film. Boring crude humour and the whole idea that men can only be sensitive when they do mushrooms is so embarrassing.Showing items 1 – 15 of 16
