Very Funny Movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2009)

I must admit, the premise of the movie was one thing that kept me away from watching this film. The idea of a one-night stand, and dealing with a pregnancy didn't seem to me good comedy, especially romantic comedy material. But I was wrong. The film is hilarious.. All the characters are likable, in their own way, smart, in their own way, funny, in their own way. Although I'm a guy, Heigl's character is probably the one I most identify with. The normal person in the land of misfits. The story is predictable,... they fall in love and raise a baby together...but surprisingly, the character development is strong between the four major characters, the minor characters are have some dimension to them. And there are some really funny moments... one of the funniest is the scene where Alison (very pregnant) and her sister try to get into the club and the doorman won't let them in...the speech the doorman gives to Alison as he pulls her aside is both touching and downright hilarious. It had me pushing the rewind button a few times.
