A Comedy Cult Classic

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2012)

Knocked Up is a romantic comedy drama film that stars Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.It follows the repercussions of a drunken one-night stand between a slacker character and a just- promoted media personality that results in an unintended pregnancy.It was co-produced, written, and directed by Judd Apatow.
When a one-night stand that should have stayed that way has unexpected consequences, the reluctant odd couple attempts to transform their tentative relationship into a lasting love in this conception comedy. Twenty-four-year-old entertainment journalist Alison Scott (Heigl) is on the fast track to the big time, but an alcohol-fueled hookup with responsibility-shirking slacker Ben Stone (Rogen) finds her professional priorities taking a back seat to having a baby. Now, as overgrown kid Ben attempts to assume the responsibilities of fatherhood, he makes the brave decision to stand by Alison. In order to make things work between the pair, however, there's going to have to be some compromise, and when Alison and Ben decide to take a shot at love, they quickly find that building a relationship from scratch isn't nearly as easy as making a baby.
It is one of the best comedy I have ever seen just like The 40 Year Old Virgin,who also was directed by the film's director Judd Apatow for it was funny,goofy,smart and dirty.Aside from the laughs,it also explores the world of relationships with the next logical step -- pregnancy and how people change with this development.Also,the performances of the cast also makes the movie works as Heigl and Rogen presents character - Allison and Ben - as likable people that a viewer would really care for them with respect to what they are undergoing and what's in store for them in the future with a baby coming.This is a highly recommended film especially for people in relationship and pregnant women.
