Knocked Up? Should have been knocked out.

Rating: 3/10 (1 February 2008)

Ill suited couple have drunken sex and pregnancy results. Does the girl go off and bring up the child alone thus sending a message of support to the millions of lone parents successfully raising happy kids? Nope. Does the guy get to retain his dreams and friends, illustrating to commitmentphobes that parenthood doesn't necessarily mean the death of oneself? Nope. They get together and hilarity does not ensue.
It's amusing seeing conservatives getting annoyed by this movie as it's stultifyingly conformist values are supposed to be at the centre of their black, pea-sized hearts.
It's equally amusing to see that representatives of the supposed counter culture are too woolly headed to see past a few porn references and the occasional shot of a bong to the crushingly conventional core.
Basically a movie for the drearier kind of woman dressed up with a bit of stoner culture to prevent their partners walking out on it.
One or two OK jokes and both female leads are easy on the eye but basically rubbish.
