Movie Madness, Vol. 2
Knocked Up
3 Bones
Almost funny. Almost. That’s the only thing I can say about this supposed-to-be comedy. The actors do a fine job extremely believable, but the whole problem is the subject matter. Though it had its funny parts, I mostly felt uncomfortable as I set and watched what felt like a train wreck on heroin. It was too long, only had bits of funny parts and I only mildly enjoyed it. What, you might ask, then gives this flick a rating of 3 bones? The baby. No, not the character’s baby. When they go to visit an OBGYN, the main character, Ben, sees what is quite possibly the ugliest baby every born to two human beings. If Gollum (from LOTR) where to have a kid with Keira Knightly, this would be the disgusting bastard offspring. Ugly, evil looking, and quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, this five seconds of goodness makes the film worth watching. Don’t buy it, don’t rent it, borrow it from a friend who was dumb enough to buy this piece of crap, watch it till you realize what I’m talking about, then turn it off. Actually, watch that part a few times. Pause it (the freeze frame is even better) and laugh your ass off. Then turn it off and give it back to your buddy and call him an ass for making you sit through it.
