Not really a comedy..

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2007)

A good critic once said that at minimum a comedy has to have 5 laughs in the whole film. I probably laughed 5 times so I guess it barely passes as a comedy, so why have I even given this as high as 6 despite a slightly contemptuous opening statement? The first reason is that I don't really feel like it was even trying to be that funny.
The second is that I enjoy a tale of the average Joe getting to get with an attractive successful women, and grows up in the process, makes me feel hopeful...
I am of course well aware of the zany housemates doing funny things is meant to be funny and at also to be a reflective visualisation of his own maturity. The latter of the two points it was successful. And the chemistry of Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan as always was pretty funny, so I guess what I am saying is that they could have done more to market it as a romantic comedy, rather than a secondary frat-pack comedy.
but thats just my opinion and you get to tell me my comment is unhelpful if you think knocked up is an epic comedy!
