A great comedy for the summer and probably the best this year so far!

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2007)

I couldn't wait to see knocked up, from the trailer, this looked like such a fun movie that anyone could laugh at. I didn't see it opening weekend, so when I peeked here on IMDb, I couldn't believe that it was already on the top 250, especially for a comedy in this year? I had to see this movie! My friend and I saw it yesterday and we had an absolute blast. But I have to admit, there were a few jokes that had me a little thrown off or were a little too much, but I have to say that thinking about it, it did over all work because it was realistic. I think we all know someone who is like a character in this film and that was what made it lovable.
Ben Stone is a pot head who is very lazy and is about to put a website up with his friends on how long celebrities are naked in their films. Alison Scott is a determined and hard working woman who just got a hot promotion interviewing celebrities on E! When she goes out to celebrate with her married sister at the hottest club, she meets Ben, they have a little too much to drink and well, you know the saying "Don't drink and drive, it causes accidents"? Well, let's put it this was "Don't drink and park, it causes people". They have sex and Alison gets pregnant, she tells Ben, and they now are trying to get to know each other and pushing themselves to even love each other for the sake of this child.
Knocked Up has great jokes that anyone I'm sure sometime in your life could relate too. Every character is sympathetic because you could relate in some way. The story worked very well, because sadly, I'm sure this situation happens more than we'd like to think it does. Katherine and Seth had great chemistry and worked so well together, I won't be surprised if their movie status is going to rise after this. Knocked up is a great comedy that I very much recommend, I think you'll have fun.
8/10
