Expectations were too high

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2007)

The problem is simple. This movie has been being reviewed for a while now and everyone said the same thing, how hilarious it was. The truth is that is a funny movie, no doubt, and a lot of the humor here has not been used before, which made it fresh and original. However, as I felt it started off with a bang, it just slowed as it went along. A lot of the jokes take a huge setup and fall very flat. Its not that there bad ideas, they just don't feel like they were executed that well. I honestly believe that reading all the reviews made me not enjoy this as much and really just hyped it too hard.
But by no means is it bad. It was funnier than most movies nowadays and different. My favorite parts about these guys were how real they were. I loved it when they finally get to the party they've been trying to get to all night, and still have enough in them to have a great time. Seth is a jokester and the life of the party and Evan plays the nice guy but not a nerdy guy perfectly. These true to life moments really made this film for me and reminded me so much of my high school life. And for that I gave the movie a 7.
All in all, it's definitely worth seeing and you should enjoy, just don't overload your expectations cause you might be disappointed. In my opinion, Knocked Up was the funnier of the two.
