Talk:Knocked Up

message: Just cut a lot of stuff about the "media reaction" to Heigl's comments. The reaction I can see in the references is a set of blog comments - i.e. individual views. The (pretty awful) source "the movie blog" says that there's been a negative reaction  but there is no actual link to the reactions he discusses, or evidence that they exist outside of his head. Sounds to me like this is a lot of nonsense designed to publicise the bloggers concerned. --Dilaudid (talk) 12:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Media reaction" to Heigl's criticism

message: If you look in the section where I put the neutrality tag, it says AGAIN...
Time magazine suggested that the film's box office performance could be in further part attributed to a sociological phenomenon wherein many movie-goers saw the film simply "so they can join the debate, if only to say it wasn't that good."[33]
I'm sorry, but the "honored advice" of one writer at Time does not represent a global view of the subject for me. The movie was good, just look at the numbers, and the ratings. Just because a writer at Time is questioning the results of the movie, I do not feel has the right to take up MORE THAN ONE SPOT in this article.
I really don't care what some Time writer says... the movie was still good... and everyone wants to question 'why' it was good... MAYBE IT WAS JUST GOOD.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zpalmese (talk • contribs) 12:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There are far too many cultural references in this movie to list them all.  Perhaps the most significant ones only should be listed.  I'm specifically looking for the quote about marriage being like Everybody Loves Raymond but not funny.  Does anyone have it? --In Defense of the Artist 18:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted the word "porn" before website because their site was not a porn site in the movie, it was a sight to inform the public where they could see nude scenes in movies. This is completely different from porn.
Response:
How thoughtful of you. You have just made the page 10 fold better.

replies: text: *I didn't know you could hide long lists of trivia on Talk pages like that. Cool. I'll have to use that elsewhere. No the article should not have an extensive Trivia section. However, the film was noted for its use of popular culture references. A paragraph (with sources) about that is entirely appropriate. For instance, the Village Voice says, "Ultimately, what makes Knocked Up a terrific film—one of the year's best, easily—is its relaxed, shaggy vibe"  Part of that vibe was throwing in references to popular culture, as per USA Today: "What makes the movie so winning are its endearing and relatable characters who spout believable dialogue and amusing banter, steeped in clever pop-culture references and sharp observations of human nature" . Do we need a list of every prop or reference spotted by audience members? No. But the article could note things that reliable sources like Variety noted, such as "The characters repeatedly reference "Spider-Man 3" -- which, come summer, will be playing next door in the megaplex " . If added, this would help explain why the reviewers gave it the reception it got. Canuckle 19:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Did anyone see the "behind the scenes" clip, claiming that, amongst others, Michael Cera was considered for the lead role? Should this be commented and verified as real or, more likely, a hoax? See: http://digg.com/videos/comedy/Michael_Cera_gets_fired_from_Knocked_Up_ 192.229.17.103 10:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering why no mention of Cera was in the article, and now I see why. I came here to check and now I see it's just a joke clip, but posted on YouTube without context to fool others that it's legit. Thanks for clearing this up. 209.6.200.92 (talk) 18:26, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Behind the scenes" mockumentary/viral video 

message: I added a section in the article about the various DVD Releases. It is just about when the various versions were released, not including any specific details.

thread_title: DVD releases

message: I'm not sure the incident mentioned in this section is truly a mistake. I believe the Seth Rogen's character was only joking when he said that his new apartment was in East L.A. Images of his apartment earlier in the film did not fit with the neighborhood he was describing in that scene, and I think the image of the car driving up the coast was there to show that he was, indeed, just kidding.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.236.186 (talk) 01:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistakes 

message: It is entirely unnecessary to have those descriptions after each character's name. If the character was important, then they were mentioned in the synopsis. The descriptions make the section look sloppy. I appreciate what you were trying to do, but it just makes the article sound redundant. Sorry, man. Rwiggum (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to move info to the synopsis, that is fine, but do not just delete relevant info.--Patrick (talk) 21:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't delete relevant info; I deleted info that had already been given in the article. There is no need to repeat it, and it reflects poorly on the page. Rwiggum (talk) 21:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Who Ben's friends are was not already in the article.--Patrick (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But describing unimportant characters and jokes has no place there. Rwiggum (talk) 22:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If a character is worth mentioning in whatever section, it is much better to say how he/she fits in the story, it is very meagre to just give the name.--Patrick (talk) 23:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. If someone is interested enough to find out who a minor character is, they can simply click on the actor's page to find out. Rwiggum (talk) 23:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is nice if the info is there too, but it is often not there. You failed to move the deleted info there!--Patrick (talk) 23:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character descriptions 

message: In the opening paragraph it says that "knocked up" is a chiefly North American slang expression for being pregnant.  Anyone care to cite this as being chiefly North American?  My experience is that has been slang in the UK for decades.
FerdinandFrog (talk) 17:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No response so I have removed the 'North American' reference. FerdinandFrog (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The O.E.D. says that it is chiefly North American. However, I find that surprising too. It is certainly widely used and universally understood in the U.K., so I think it's right to leave it out. The film's marketers would have changed its title here had there been any need to explain it. Salopian (talk) 19:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says:
"After a night of heavy drinking, Ben removes his condom during sex unbeknownst to Alison (a form of rape called stealthing)"
But in the movie, it is clear that it was just a misunderstanding: 
"ALISON: I did not tell you not to wear a condom. 
BEN: Here's what happened, OK? I'll give you a play by play of my memory. I almost had the condom on my dick. It was on the cusp. Then you said, just do it already. 
ALISON: I didn't mean do it without a condom". 181.170.229.3 (talk) 19:05, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
