Knocked Up

Jul 29, 2007 23:45

Knock up is colloquial for making one pregnant.

The film is just about that.

Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) just got a big break on the job and is offered an on-air job. She celebrated the "promotion" with her sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) and got so drunk that she brought a guy she met at the club home.

2 months later, she discovered she got knocked up from the one-night-stand and contacted Ben to try to work out the relationship for the sake of the child.

She quickly discovered that Ben Stone (Seth Roge), a chubby foul-mouthed slacker/druggie is miles apart from her. You see, Ben only dreamed of launching a website that provides a directory of the precise timing of the film a female celebrity flashed her skin .

She felt she is on the way to the unhappy marriage like her sis Debbie and her bo-chap husband Pete (Paul Rudd).

Knocked Up fused lots of dialogues, some crude but funny moments, some nudity and lots of light drama with a couple of moving moments into a very entertaining film.

It is more than a slapstick comedy, it's really a woman film about the angst of a young woman at the peak of her life dealing with an unmarried pregnancy and a middle-aged woman dealing with her unhappy marriage and aging body and both have to deal with relationship issues.

I like the film.
