A knock out of a movie (Spoiler Free, you deserve it!)

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2007)

I know this title may seem a bit over the top. It is not an action movie neither is it a thriller. However it has its significance for me, because this movie has made me stay up from 5am till now which is 8.10am.
Now for me to delve into the details. Katherine Heigl plays Alison Scott, a seemingly successful news reporter who has everything - Attention, beauty and brains. A perfect life it seems, but all of it came crashing down after having a one night stand with goof ball Ben Stone played by real life funny man Seth Rogen. Knocked Up will take you through the ups and the downs of Alison's pregnancy and how two vastly different people who are 'thrust' together by circumstance can actually turn out to be the one for one another.
A common misconception people have for the movie is that its just crude comedy. Which is probably why many people may be disappointed or taken aback by what this movie brings forth instead. However, I for one am pleasantly surprised. The movie actually encompasses realism in its storyline along with its crude but funny humor. It shocked me with the strength of the plot. It makes you care about the character and it pulls you to FEEL like the character. You can understand the trouble faced by them and understand how different guys and girls really are. Regardless of your gender, you will understand the situation of the male or female counterpart portrayed by the two leads.
When the credits started rolling, I was astounded to find out that it was slightly more then 2 hours long! Thanks to the strong cast, brilliant script, excellent character development and an extraordinarily realistic story, this movie unquestionably deserves the title of being an underdog winner Do not underestimate this movie as it may just knock you out. Like it did for me. Without a doubt one of best film this year.
9.5/10
