film review

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2009)

Knocked Up is a comedic film about two completely different people, one who has a promising future and the other with no future. Allison and Ben meet at a night club while Allison celebrates her promotion at one of the entertainment news reporters on E! After having a little too many drinks, they head back to Allison's sister's guest house and engage in sexual activities. Two months later, Allison found out that she is pregnant. After a visit at the doctors with Ben, the rest of the film shows over the next seven months of her pregnancy. The film also shows the relationship Allison and Ben build during her pregnancy.
The central idea of this film is to give anyone a chance. Allison never thought that she would ever date a guy like Ben. Ben didn't ever think that he could ever have a chance with her as well. This movie shows we must not judge people because they can change.
In Knocked Up, director Judd Apatow shows kids and babies' horrible side as well as their good side. The movie shows Allison's sister's daughters fighting and crying. Apatow shows how much of a pain kids can really be. I like how Ben changes his style more into the movie. He starts off looking like a bum and starts dressing cleaner. In the beginning, the movie shows the life of Ben and Allison. Ben sits around his house, smoking marijuana and partying, while Allison wakes up early and works all day. In the end, Ben changes his way of style. He gets a job, stops partying all the time, gets his own place, and he also dresses nicer. Ben realizes that he needs to grow up if he wants to be a good father.
