pretty realistic... not much of a comedy

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2008)

This is one of those movies you just don't know where to put it or what to think of it. Was it really good, or bad...? Well, the thing is here that the movie has a good idea seen many times before. you know- two people have sex and the girl ends up being pregnant. I've seen like 3 or 4 movies like this but its "Knocked up" that will be the first one on that list. ("Juno" being second) A good touch is not just the clash of two people that barely know each other but she clash of worlds. You also might be pulled away form the main two characters and by the end of the movie you wont be able to know the difference between the main and the supporting cast. The humor is also something that must be spoken about. Its Seth Rogen who you laugh at and none else. Maybe its because the movie tries (and manages) to keep a serious impression and not end up being just another stupid comedy. If so, its good but still, Ben Stone (thats Seth Rogen in case you didn't know) holds all the funny lines along with his roommates while on the other hand all you get from the rest of the characters is seriosity. Now, YES, its a comedy but not just that. Its pretty good with a storyline hat you know how it will end but still, it has those little turns that make the road to the end of the movie unpredictable. So if you're in for a couple of laughs- go ahead, if you're in for a serious story- go ahead. If you're in for the action- nope... wait! Its a nice and balanced movie. Go see it, if nothing- you'll remember to put a condom on next time.
