Is it me, or was this simply over-rated?

Rating: 6/10 (9 September 2007)

A "fairly unattractive" man. Who smokes weed. Has no life. Living off a compensation benefit. Meets a "pretty" woman. At a club. They both get drunk. Have sex. Woman becomes pregnant...
You get the drift, I could actually write this review in the same context all the way through. This is probably as close as to how the film has been constructed.
I can't say that I enjoyed the "40 Year Old Virgin" in fact, I thought it was boring, crap storyline, segments were funny, with random scenes and locations which had no relevance to the film to fill in extra minutes for your money, and so on, so forth. This is EXACTLY what happens in "Knocked Up".
What annoys me, is the fact that this film could of been so good. I wanted it to make that extra yard to make me fall out of my seat, so, so, so much. It just reminded me of crap sex, an ongoing ordeal that you think will come to something, and just when you think things are going your way, it all flops down.
I can't completely slag this film though, as Seth Rogan shows what a talented actor he can be in funny situations. I think he will be one to watch out for in the future for sure. He has some brilliant one liners it has to be said! Katherine Heigl also done a blinding performance, its such a shame, because the storyline and little plot-holes completely screwed them both over. They are big actors for the big comic bound occasion, its a shame they were blindfolded and given shocking scenario's to work with.
Of course it has its moments, but nothing that makes you go to pub with your mates and chat about it. I was very whole-heartedly disappointed with this film. So much speculation ruins a good thing ya' know? Possibly the most over-rated comedy of 2007. Yes. Down to the shoddy direction of the film. Absolutely. Possibly showcasing the new coming talent of comedies for the future. Maybe. With the right ingredients.
