Probably the best comedy of the last 5 years.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2007)

Knocked Up is a truly amazing comedic piece and coming of age story all wrapped into one neat little package. Judd Apatow, knows how to deliver on the hard core laughs and the hear touching moments from beginning to end. Seth Rogen's Ben is every 20 year olds coolest friend. You laugh at his demeanor, his jokes, his all out goofiness, even if it is a little immature at times, but who hasn't been immature? Judd did such a fantastic job crafting and molding these characters that you sit back in amazement and awww while taking the 2 hour journey.
The true star of this flick is definitely Seth, although Katherine had me rooting for her through the whole film. When her emotions kicked in and her hormones went crazy you felt her pain, you felt her feelings and when Seth realized he might be going down the wrong path you are right there on that journey.
The best comedic timing is definitely between Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen, but a shining star is also well placed in this film. Jonah Hill is given one of the best comedic lines and he handles it with pure ease. Seeing him do his thing has me excited for his upcoming "Super Bad" film which is going to be released this fall.
One great thing I have to say is Judd's knack for assembling terrific actors for his films. His rag tag crew in 40 year old virgin was fantastic and here again he struts his stuff putting together a great cast who get to work with grade A material.
Knocked Up is a fantastic Romantic Coming of Age comedy that delivers on all levels from beginning to end. It is rare for me to give any films in the recent years a decent review, but this was definitely one of the best comedies I have watched in a long long time.
8.3 out of 10
