Knocked Up (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

I watched this on PPV and I've only bought a couple PPV movies before and I so regretted it. I thought from the previews that it was a romance/comedy and wanted to see it b/c of the actors but did not realize that it was more of a trashy/cheesy/raunchy R comedy than a romance. If I had known that,I would have waited til I could see it free in a few years on tv and I would have maybe not been as terribly disappointed. I figured "unrated" means a rating is pending-but I think it means it's way too raunchy to be NC17 and we could get in trouble with R if we aren't careful. When I know in advance it's a raunchy comedy, rather than a funny romance, I'll watch it with appropriate people who will find raunchy to be funny but since they chose "unrated", I didn't know that part - I'm glad I didn't watch it with my mother or something thinking it would be a good, romance chick flick. Not to mention, the plot was so thin because it was a comedy/trashy movie rather than a plot based movie, that although I laughed, I didn't actually really like anyone because there was no depth in the characters.

If you're looking for light, funny comedy like "27 Dresses," this isn't it. If you're looking for "American Pie," this is probably close.

I should have taken a better look at the movie's description, but the language, the dope smoking, the wife screaming at her husband--YEECH.

I kept skipping ahead to see if it got any less disgusting but, nope. I gave up about halfway through the movie.

Two things I liked about the movie: (1) Heigl's character doesn't abort her baby in favor of her career and (2) the music by Loudon Wainwright III.

But, unless you're up for having a big bucket o' sleeze dumped on you, avoid this film.

I was surfing one day recently and happened upon a cable run of this movie. A pleasant surprise to be sure, I had very low expectations from the flick just based on the lame title. Gald I was wrong. Seth Rogen is very funny and leads a life I can only envy. While an outlined description of the plot would make one cringe, the execution is excellent. I usually detest movies that lack proper editing to keep them at ninety minutes or less, but funny writing, good acting, and adequate production quality make for an entertaining 129 minutes on this one. I say the only real flaw is a few of the scenes drag a bit and the set-up suggesting that a good looking chick like Katherine Heigl would actually EVER sleep with a guy that looks like Seth Rogen, let alone have a kid with him is utterly absurd. Nonetheless, if you can get over that idiocy, then Knocked-Up is a funny flick.

Bottom line: four solid stars for funny

Oh my. Those were the only two words I could think of to say about this garbage after I saw it. I was thinking it would be a light romantic comedy, but no. It was more of the Seth Rogan type overplayed and tired humor. I swear I don't know how he or "McLovin" became so cool, but it is just wrong. It had 100 too many f-words, some parts were downright disgusting and made me want to puke, and the story line was far fetched to say the least.
The only reason I watched it through to the end was to see if it got better, but no it didn't. It is really a shame Katherine Heigl was in this movie because I think she lost some brain cells while filming it. I just can't recommend this movie to anyone who has ever been a part of a partially intelligent conversation, had any proper schooling, has any respect for women, or anyone who doesn't sit at home all day/everday on the couch eating chips and drinking beer.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and it thereby surprised me when I loved it. The actors are great in their roles and Seth Rogen really shines. I highly recommend this movie for an evenings entertainment.
