KNOCKED UP

KNOCKED UP A KNOCK OUT (Don't tell me you didn't see that coming?!)
By now, thanks to SUPER BAD, I am getting used to this juvenile, crude and raunchy sense of comedy. I spent the whole first part of this movie hating it. Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) is who would happen if the guys in SUPER BAD grew up. You will see a lot of familiar faces from that one in KNOCKED UP. Out with his buddies one night he meets Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) and as both are in a celebratory mood, there is much drinking and dancing and at the end of the evening... well, consider the title. I liked the characters in this movie; his pot head, video game playings burnout friends and her sister and brother-in-law and their "perfect" family. My personal favorite is her sister's misunderstood husband Pete (Paul Rudd). As I was writing my notes for this, pretty sure I hated it, out comes the sun and flowers and we find a heart in this movie. It presents marriage in a real way with the real arguments and misunderstandings as well as relationships in general. Again, a real surprise to me, but this was a funny comedy, although not for the delicate watcher.
Rating: Raunchy and crude can still produce a sweet story about real love and relationships
