So So

Rating: 4/10 (3 June 2007)

Don't get me wrong. I laughed. There were some very funny parts and all together I'd say it was a fairly enjoyable film, however after reading all the amazing reviews and hearing all the hype I was expecting a much better movie.
First; I had a lot of trouble buying the story. Two drunk people meet in a bar and hook up I can understand, although those two? Um, not so much. She's a supermodel and he's an overweight stoner loser type. While it MAY happen in the real world; I've never witnessed it. The next morning they're having breakfast and the look on her face when he's talking about bong hits and his lifestyle is enough to send her running to the "shmashorshin clinic" immediately. Instead for some undisclosed reason she decides, in spite of the fact that she just got a huge promotion at work that she should have the love child of this guy. I can't imagine her motivation for wanting to go through with this, but be that as it may...So she then meets with him to discuss things and shortly after falls for him and now they're both "in love". Again, makes no sense. While I'm sure the prospect of this guy being with a woman like this never occurred to him in his wildest fantasies I don't see him embracing fatherhood as quickly as he did and abandoning his slacker friends and lifestyle. I also felt that a girl like this would have either her glamorous mom or rich sister be appaulled at her being with this guy and having his kid.
That being said; I really liked Seth Rogan. Katherine Heigel is very beautiful, but I found her character boring. Despite the fact that the story as a whole was very hard to believe I did laugh a lot and thought there were some really good moments. One of my favorites was when he called the doctor and threatened to kill him. That was hilarious. I thought it actually quite endearing the way he began to become more supportive as time went on and very protective of her as well.
