A bit disappointing...

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2007)

Having loved 'Anchorman' and 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' I was really looking forward to 'Knocked Up', but it didn't deliver in the same way those two did. That's not to say it's a bad film, just nothing exceptional. It has some good laughs and funny performances but could have done with a bit of script-editing. There was also no chemistry between Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl which made their decision to stay together seem a bit implausible, unlike the well-played relationship between Steve Carell and Catherine Keener in '40 Year Old Virgin'. Ben's instant transformation from slobby flatmate to job and spacious apartment was all a bit unlikely also. All in all a nice enough movie but don't expect a classic.
