You cannot be serious

Rating: 3/10 (8 March 2008)

I've always trusted IMDb.com as a reliable judge of a film's quality - the higher the rating, the better the film, and vice versa. I am staggered.. no, blown away by how far off the mark you are with "Knocked Up".. for this dire piece of clap-trap to achieve above 7 is a complete mystery to me. Without wishing to go into too detailed an analysis as to why this film is simply abhorrent, I would list the three main failings as these
1) the premise is simply not believable; that a woman like this would attempt to form a relationship with such an obvious loser simply because she mistakenly became pregnant with his child.. this isn't stretching credulity, this is akin to asking people to believe the moon is made of cheese..
2) it is impossible to empathise with ANY of the characters (even the children are odious)
3) is this extreme level of profanity truly necessary? I'm surprised the baby didn't say "F*** this" when it popped out at the end..
What a truly execrable and miserable excuse for a film. Seth Hogan did his best and Katherine Heigl was occasionally endearingly vulnerable, but I simply fail to see how this film is any higher than a 5, and that would be generous.
IMDb...... you have let your readers down on this one. Do NOT see this film!
