A Fable of Modern Immaturity

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2007)

It's a beautiful moment when a 14 year old can sit can watch a movie like this with his 51 year old mother and have the two of us laughing our asses off. These twenty year old's show the kind of behavior seen in my school, but it shows that boys can be men too. Suddenly Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" makes sense. I myself didn't care for the 40 Year Old Virgin. I thought it was just kind of bland and didn't have the charm that was expected. But "Knocked Up" struck gold with me. I was cracking up constantly for the first half of it, and though the laughs died down a bit in the middle, I was still entranced by it and stayed that for the remainder of the film. What's interesting is how Apatow took such an unoriginal plot line and just made it shine (hey that rhymed). This is a movie that will truly lift your spirits regardless of whether you buy your ticket as a student or a senior. This is one of the best comedies to come out in a long time. A fable of modern immaturity.
