Knocked Up (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Buy This Item Knocked Up (Unrated Widescreen Edition) by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $20.99  on 8-30-2008     The writer and director of The 40-year-old Virgin delivers another a hilarious hit comedy! They say that opposites attract. Well, for slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case - at least for one intoxicated evening. Two months and several pregnancy tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny, anxious and heartwarming journey that leads to huge laughs in the most outrageous comedy of the year! Reader Reviews This stale offering is a cross between two much better movies which deal with the same topics, Juno and Shallow Hal. Short version, skip this clunker and get one or both of the other movies. The longer version. There is really nothing endearing about the characters or the plot. Seth Rogan's character is a slug throughout much of the movie. At some level, he knows this and pays lip service to getting his act together but it doesn't happen until much later in the movie. Too much later for me. Katherine Heigl's character is too nice. Unbelievably so. For instance, she doesn't want to change Rogan's character. She wants to accept him for what he is. Great, except he's a chronic pot smoker with no work ethic whose friends make him look like a real go-getter. And she doesn't want to change him. Great parents they'll make. The only character I actually liked in the show was the brother-in-law, the poor guy. There are a couple of funny scenes, but overall, this is a boring and frustrating film. Avoid it.
