this requires a strong tolerance of low culture

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2016)

If you've seen any of Seth Rogen's movies, then you should know that he always plays a laid-back goof-off whose life revolves around getting high. Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up" is no exception. I thought that the funniest scenes were the ones where Katherine Heigl's go-getter meets Seth Rogen's slacker friends. This story of an unexpected pregnancy makes no pretense about being completely silly.
As to Heigl's claims that the movie was sexist, I can see where she's coming from. According to the movie, men are degenerate morons who want to sit around getting stoned, while women are sexy, ambitious types who snap easily. There's no shortage of movies that depict that, and I wouldn't say that "Knocked Up" casts aspersions on anyone.
The main point to take is that Seth Rogen revels in low culture. You can bet money that his next movie will cast him as a stoner who talks about sexual organs and bodily functions all day. As for the widespread dislike of Katherine Heigl, it seems misplaced. She strikes me as an obnoxious individual, but is she really a worse person than, say, the Koch brothers?
I liked "Knocked Up", but it won't be for everyone.
