Not as funny as I had been lead to believe.

Rating: 5/10 (14 October 2007)

With a film going by the title of Knocked Up, from the makers of The 40 Year Old Virgin, I was expecting a unsophisticated-but-fun laugh-a-minute film packed with hilariously crude jokes. What I got, however, was an unsophisticated, occasionally funny, romantic comedyShe's Having a Baby for the new millennium.
And whilst it was okay for what it was, I felt rather cheated. All I wanted was a vulgar comedy about sex. I had been tricked into seeing a vulgar comedy about sex that also explored emotions, fears and the uncertainty of life.
Seth Rogen plays Ben Stone, a 23 year old waster whose 'job' is to record nudity in movies for a website (that isn't even online yet). On a drunken night out, he somehow hooks up with gorgeous TV presenter Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl). After a single night of passion, the two go their separate ways. That is until Alison discovers that she is up the duff! At over two hours long, Knocked Up soon gets tiresome, with not enough genuine laughs to help the time fly. And although Rogen and Heigl make a likable couple, endless scenes of arguing followed by reconciliation followed by more arguing really gets tedious.
And, for the record, Katherine Heigl displays no boobs and definitely no bush, despite several sex scenes. What a con!
