Knocked Up


This film is directed by Judd Apatow ( also did “The 40 year Old Virgin” (2005)), and stars Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill.

This is a story about Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl), who goes out to a club one night to celebrate and meets an overweight freeloading unemployed Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) and they end up having a one night stand. Eight weeks later, life moves on, and Alison finds out she is pregnant with Ben’s child. They are therefore forced into this relationship together, and even though they don’t feel that they must be together they feel they should at least try because it’s both of their child. The movie follows them through the nine months of pregnancy and relationship up and downs.

This movie is hiliarious. Seth Rogen is on point with all the humour you expect and you can once again believe that this is exactly how it would happen if it were two real people going through the same thing. Each character in the film, Ben, Alison, Alison’s sister and her husband and everyone else each all have their own moments and you will love so many of them.

The dialogue and character interaction was incredible and very insightful. It's developed in such a way that anyone who watches it can relate to the characters and really feel their fears, anxieties, desires, understandings, etc. Seth Rogen's character is really likeable, even despite his comments and lifestyle. It is definately a movie worth watching, because it displays some classic differences between men and womens views. But, in the end, despite some obvious differences, the couples work really well together.
