Even comedies should try to be a little logical

Rating: 4/10 (17 August 2019)

Do you know this meme of Tony Stark rolling his eyes in Iron Man? Well, that's exactly my face when I watched Knocked Up. I don't remember what kind of time it was in 2007, perhaps standards of comedy were lower, otherwise how else do you explain ratings on metacritics?
Jude Apatow can do better. I watched "This is 40" two times, the conversations are funny and smart and story is reasonable. Seth Rogen can do better, I watched "Pineapple Express", it's super funny, although maybe because I was a bit high. Katherine Heigl? I don't think there is even one good movie with her.
I'll get to the point - the very idea of a good-looking successful young woman getting pregnant from a bum-like pot-smoking dude who has nothing in common with her and then deciding to keep the baby and moreover build relationship with junkie is a complete nonsense! We will never know why she rejected the most logical idea of an abortion. Is she a republican?
Aside from this we have an egotistic character of Paul Rudd's a bit hysterical wife who believes her husband's life should be fully dedicated to the family. This movie also explores the depth of self-eating that often happens with women also thanks to the movie industry. Alison, once pregnant, feels fat and ugly and calls herself a big whale, Debbie is crying all the time because she feels old and guard at the club confirms that. Both wear make up all the time and have perfect hairstyles 24/7. It makes sense because if you are so self-insecure about your looks, don't you dare sleeping without lipstick otherwise your partner will leave you. 2007 is all about objectifying women.
And this whole story lasts for two hours. You hope it will unfold sometime and you will die laughing, but instead you can't help but check your phone hundred times during the movie. I'm not trying to preach here on how this movie sends a bad message, I'm not trying to be a feminist, I just like honest movies, which are believable and make sense.
