So This is what passes for Comedy?

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2008)

This isn't the worst film nor the best film, but after hearing so much about it, it was the most disappointing comedy of 2007. The humor is flat, the relationship is totally unbelievable. The plot surrounds a hot blonde (Kate) out celebrating her promotion to on screen on E!, she has a one night stand with ultimate slacker dude (Seth). They go their separate ways and weeks later she calls him up and tells him she is pregnant. He is a guy who lives with other guys and their main goal in life is weed and porn and yet, she starts falling for the guy because (and sarcasm is coming up), they have so much in common! So the humor is suppose to be how surprisingly shock she is when she finds his humor crude,oafish, and that of a highschool senior. Unfortunately, for me, this become boring after 10 minutes and it goes on throughout the movie. He says the inappropriate things, always, seemingly at the wrong time. It's the typical, and I do mean, by-the-books, typical star-cross romantic comedy, where, at the end, he decided to clean up his act and change his ways and she learns to accept his friends. Give us something different. It's like we keep getting spinoffs from The Wedding Crashers and Bruce Almighty. You know, Bruce Almighty & Wedding Crashers begot 40 Year old Virgin, 40 Year Old Virgin begot, Knocked Up and now Knocked UP begets Superbad. I am sure that the guy who played McLovin will have his own film. Knocked Up is a spin off of a spin off of a spin off and each one gets less funnier. There are only a couple of really funny moments in the movie but overall this film is in the middle of the road. Humorous, yes, but outrageously funny, not even close.
