Review: With this
film, I just became a Seth
Rogen fan. Just right now, I
did. I've been peripherally
aware of this guy, having
seen him in miniscule parts
in ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF
RON BURGUNDY, YOU, ME &
DUPREE, and, most notably,
THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN. But,
here in KNOCKED UP, he takes
lead actor honors and he's
simply awesome. Yes, see
this movie for the other
actors, as well - Katherine
Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie
Mann all shine - but, in my
eyes, this is a cinematic
coming out party for Seth
Rogen. And, if nothing else,
this chubby guy gives hope
to uncool, unhandsome, just
plain folks like me...more

Plot Summary: On the heels of 2005's
blockbuster "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," writer/director Judd Apatow again mines
hilarity from the relatably human in a comedy about a one-night stand with
unexpected consequences: "Knocked Up." Katherine Heigl ("Grey's Anatomy,"

look about the best thing that will ever ruin your best-laid plans: parenthood.
Allison Scott (Heigl) is an up-and-coming entertainment journalist whose
24-year-old life is on the fast track. But it gets seriously derailed when a
drunken one-nighter with slacker Ben Stone (Rogen) results in an unwanted
pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going it alone or getting to know the
baby's father, Allison decides to give the lovable doof a chance.
An overgrown kid who has no desire to settle down, Ben learns that he has a big
decision to make with his kid's mom-to-be: will he hit the road or stay in the
picture? Courting a woman you've just "Knocked Up," however, proves to be a
little difficult when the two try their hands at dating. As they discover more
about one another, it becomes painfully obvious that they're not the soul mates
they'd hoped they might be.
With Allison's harried sister Debbie (Mann) and hen-pecked brother-in-law Pete
(Rudd) the only parenting role models the young lovers have, things get even
more confusing. Should they raise the baby together? What makes a happy lifetime
partnership after all? A couple of drinks and one wild night later, they've got
nine confusing months to figure it out.
EN 5 Second Review:
This movie is one of the best comedies in years. A must
see.
An
era-defining comedy classic to rank with Little Miss Sunshine.

It's this generation's When Harry Met Sally, and it's
even better than The 40-Year-Old Virgin, because the
freakish situation it uses as a setup is life."review...more
I
doubt you'll see a funnier movie this summer than Knocked
Up. Apatow has clearly earned the unusual mantle of
chief chronicler of modern family life in all its profane
glory Michael Booth: Denver Post
The searing, endearing new comedy "Knocked Up" is either the
most potty-mouthed chick flick to come along in years, or a
stag film with a heart of gold...more
Actor Seth Rogan made a splash in the
