Favored for months to come!

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2008)

This film by Billy Ray (director of the 40-Year-Old Virgin) could actually go into one of those perfect educational films for sex without responsibility. =P Starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl as Ben Stone and Allison Scott each; it describes how an up and about entertaining journalist made the gravest mistake of her life at the peak of her life. Having just attained a promotion, she decided to take her sister out to a night club to party the night out while having been both deranged and derailed in her thoughts out of drunkenness; she met a happy go lucky slacker  Ben Stone whose life achieving ambition is to create a website to advertise nude scenes of actors and actresses. He call that the Flesh of the Star, just so for your knowledge.
Having been high on alcohol, the both of them ended up on a casual one night stand without protection out of a misunderstanding (she actually meant, hurry up wearing the condom; rather than hurry up without the condom, but the phrase of hurrying up when tied alone is insufficient for a guy to interpret further at such an intensifying moment). And so it happens, and so the tadpole met its home and thenceforth we get a worrying Allison with the positive urine pregnancy test kits all over her room.
That was weeks after the one night stand and having discovered such through the embarrassing moments of nausea, vomiting and early morning sickness whilst at her job; she has no way out other than to call up the guy who is responsible for the baby creation. The news weren't that easy, and for slacker Ben, it's never casual to receive such a shocker. But he did! And the confirmation is true when he accompanied her to the obstetrician and gynaecologist for a detailed transvaginal ultrasonography. Ooh wala boom! There's the intrauterine gestational sac! Then there begins the responsibility, the heavy communication and the inter-relationship communication and conversation. The beginning of life full of need to dos, don'ts and quarrelling towards two differences takes on an interesting journey. As each individual from two totally different life prospects, professionalism and career meet at the crossroads, there are bound to be sacrifices, give and takes and as well as understanding. Allison lost her job, take on the prospect of being barred from the local entertainment pub, suffering from the upheavals of responsibilities of being a mother-to-be and having a rather irresponsible and selfish husband. Whilst Ben, out of all the new and sudden changes tries his best to adapt to a life that he never knew he would be drafted in, he could never, no matter what, seem to satisfy Allison.
The argument brought about so much attention towards the possibility of raising up the child by one parent's on and on the verge of divorce; but Ben is not without a heart. In showing that he really cared and want to take up the responsibility after being proved by Allison's sister on how big a loser he is, he took up all the baby books  read them, got ready for the much anticipated labor, argued constructively with her doctors who can be rather harsh and getting things organized when Allison progress into her final days of reaching labor. All of this sacrifices were of much value to Allison, to which she finally put on a smile and patted herself out of comfort and a sigh of relief  to which she believes that Stone is the guy, the rightful husband and the responsible father to share with for the rest of her life.
The outstanding comedy in both this immensely funny individuals can be very realistic and rather interesting. The story goes with the flow and the expected can be rather out of the blues. Out of all the commendation for the movies, it deserves its best remarks for it's another classical follower of its former 40-Year-Old Virgin.
