"Boy Meets Girl" with a twist in a modern love story

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2007)

KNOCKED UP is an extremely entertaining film which has real dialog that rings true for singles who meet today, have sex and then discover that a baby can throw their whole lives off, as well as take them on an unexpected journey that neither would have dreamed of. Seith Rogen is such a modern man in every context of the word-out to get screwed, have a good time and just"party hearty" until Katherine Heigl steps into his life through a bar encounter and changes everything. The chemistry between Rogen and Heigl just feels right on the screen.
The male bonding between Rogen and Paul Rudd is terrific to watch as at last each has a male friend that truly understands one another. The frat house atmosphere of the "party males" rang true and their never ending beer busts, porn films and wanting to get laid are real to men today, as well as yesterday. Men and women issues come out on the screen with a great sense of frustration each sex feels for the other but KNOCKED UP delivers these issues in an amusing fashion.
The audience in Westwood (Los Angeles) really enjoyed the film and the laughs kept rolling along with the picture. The growth of the relationship between Rogen and Heigl is marvelous and the last scenes are just wonderful. So, "boy meets girl", "boy knocks up girl", but in the end what they deliver to each other is very special. I loved this film.
