witless and insulting

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2008)

I am afraid I must be getting old!! I switched this movie on expecting a modern romantic comedy. Is this what passes for romance these days? Kids, you are being sold very very short. The actors in this piece are good (Paul Rudd is a great comic actor) but this was just depressing. I curse and swear much worse than the characters in this, but somehow found myself appalled by the gratuitous vile language heard throughout Knocked Up. As the film progressed I became more and more disinterested in the story and the characters. Eventually I fast forwarded the remaining 45 mins. It had such potential but that was wasted for a few cheap laughs (which never came).It could have been so much better. Back to the drawing board and film school for the authors of this one.
