An instant classic!

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2009)

Knocked Up won me over by it's sheer brilliance. The screenplay is really funny. The dialogue is hilarious, and the characters believable and three-dimensional. Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl are fantastic. They play their characters with comedic timing, and with flawed, but ultimately likable tone. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are also brilliant, their characters you totally invest with and play a real-life issue in their marriage. The rest of the cast, from Jonah Hill to Jason Segal to the rest, are also brilliant and hilarious. It has crude humor, and the film really made me laugh out loud to plain smile at it's brilliance. Ultimately, what I think grabbed me more was it's heart. This is not one of those R-rated comedies where it is just about the humor. You care for these characters and their problems, and you relate to them. It also provoked some discussion about both unwanted pregnancy and marriage status. I think that is the reason why this might just be my favorite comedy of the last ten years. It is perfect film-making, and Judd Apatow's finest film of course. An instant comedy classic for sure
