Reviews
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
clarencebutler After the frat pack started to fizzle out by the mid 00s a new bunch of younger comedians took their place. This stoner gang consisted of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Judd Apatow behind the camera, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd etc and they would rule the roost of Hollywood comedies for the next few years. Knocked Up is one of their first and one of the finest entries. This isn't a laugh riot but more about comedy with dramatic elements.
Dave This is a romantic sex comedy film about a television presenter, Alison, who becomes pregnant after a drunken one-night stand with a man whom she meets in a nightclub. There are a lot of laughs in this film, but they're diminished somewhat by the implausibility of an attractive, intelligent career girl not being on contraception and choosing to jump into bed with an irresponsible, overweight, uneducated, poor, unattractive, unemployed layabout.Leslie Mann is very good as Alison's sister, Debbie. This was followed by a spin-off, This Is 40 - in which Debbie and her husband are the main characters.
findfreightonline Seth Rogen is a unattractive, short, non-funny character* that uses his mediocre success to lure a beautiful talented actress (wearing a pregnancy vest... obviously to make the act of intercourse (or so he wishes) a bit more bearable) into making a unfulfilled rotten fantasy come true. Seth does not have the intellectual or artistic capability to be any kind of web or media designer and tries to fulfill his unfulfillable fantasies of being any worth, what so ever, to society by playing this uncomfortable and unbelievable character *Seth Rogaen himselfSeth Rogen is a waste of time for any body that has a double digit IQ
vishaal811 Knocked Up is a straight-out comedy with a hilarious screenplay that is filled with cultural references. The premise of the story is that two people hook up one night and it leads to an unwanted pregnancy. Due to the unwillingness of the mother to part with her baby, the two of them decide to give a shot at having an actual relationship which is what we see in the rest of the movie.Ben (Seth Rogen) is a slacker with no job who hangs around with a bunch of like-minded friends whose only ambition in life is to get high. Alison (Katherine Heigl) is the complete opposite of Ben with a settled life as an entertainment news reporter. Even though both of them cannot have more distinct personalities, they somehow manage to make things work.There is a wonderful support cast featuring Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and Jason Segel. All of the characters are well developed with Paul Rudd being exceptionally good. The minor hiccup in the movie is the development of Alison who is a contradiction. The story does take a lot of liberties when characters make some terrible judgments. However, as this is a comedy movie, we can cut the filmmakers some slack.Knocked Up manages to deal with the subject amiably without getting too preachy. If you want to enjoy a few laughs and see some terrific comedy actors, then this is the movie for you.
