Funny yet endearing movie.

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2018)

This is a great comedy film from the Apatow camp. Knocked up is silly, offensive and yet romantic. For Knocked Up, writer/director Judd Apatow's sophomore feature, the filmmaker has elected to follow pretty much the same formula that made his debut, The 40 Year Old Virgin, such a success. Considering how winning the formula is, it's a safe approach. The often ribald humor is genuinely funny. The characters are endearing and very well played by Seth Rogen(Who is right at home here in this material) and Katherine Heigl. And there's something warm and sweet about the underlying storyline. Apatow is clearly a romantic, even if there's a profane edge to his "love conquers all" worldview. Other filmmakers embarking into the comedy minefield could learn a thing or two from him.
