Knocked Up is another hilariously real Judd Apatow comedy

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2007)

Having been a fan of Judd Apatow since "Freaks and Geeks", I wanted to see Knocked Up since I saw the preview a few weeks ago. Boy, am I glad I did! Seth Rogen, one of Apatow's stock actors from nearly all his projects, does nicely in the leading role of a slacker who meets a beautiful woman (Katherine Heigl) at a dance club one night which leads to a one-night-stand which leads to...Anyway, most of the familiar cast from "F & G" and "Undeclared" lend fine support here along with Harold Ramis as Rogen's dad, Joanna Kerns as Heigl's mom, and Leslie Mann (Apatow's wife) as Heigl's sister. There's also a hilarious cameo of the host of the Most Popular Television Show Right Now. I think you know what I'm talking about. And for SNL fans, there's Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. There may be some uncomfortable scenes in between but that just makes this more satisfying when the happy ending inevitably occurs. In fact, I'd say Knocked Up is one of the few adult comedies out that is worth seeing right now. So what are you waiting for? Just watch!
