Great movie. Funny, sexy, and raunchy. Judd Apatow again scores big by pushing the limits.

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2007)

I must say "Knocked Up" is great! It's very funny, sexy, and just great a movie that's a current pop culture gem. Again writer,and director Judd Apatow scores big just like he did with "The 40 Year Old Virgin", this tale just might be a little more sentimental since it involves childbirth. The script he does is very raunchy and funny with plenty of wise jokes and foul language to keep you amused while an uncommon couple grow during change. You have a loser and porn loving movie and internet slob named Ben(Seth Rogen)who does plenty of pot smoking and childish things, but finally he gets a break when he meets a young and beautiful career-girl named Alison(Katherine Heigl) who's a studio worker at E! News and she finally gets a hosting gig due to her looks and beauty. Upon getting together at the bar one night as so common a one night stand happens! Upon returning to her home which Alison shares with her sister Debbie(Leslie Mann) and her husband Pete(Paul Rudd) she finds out eventually she's knocked up! The news is delivered and both are at first unhappy, but both Ben and Alison decide that they will work together and have the baby and raise it! During the course Apatow fills it with plenty of crude and foul language and raunchy scenes of sex(the two most memorable are the dog style bed scene and the showing of the vagina before birth!) And upon seeing Ben's friends a viewer can feel that they are socially challenged losers, yet with the skin and raunchy scenes Judd did it gives great appeal to hormone driven males. Still if you as a viewer can overlook all of the foul and nagging crudeness underneath you can see this film is a nice fairy tale and storybook love story for both Ben and Alison. For one Ben learns to grow up and learn love and respect the responsibility of a new life. Alison sees life for a change and learns that people are who they are in life just like Ben is and she sees love is possible and can happen between two opposites of their kind. The lines are sharp too with a good take on current pop culture, that helps the viewer find some fresh air as it serves up the start of a new life and brings happiness to a couple of different backgrounds. Overall "Knocked Up" is a real winner that's blended well with elements we all like and they make us happy, it proves again that Judd Apatow knows how to reach an audience's emotions and pleasures. Final note it's clear too that Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen are rising stars to be respected look for both to be around some more.
