Amazon.co.uk Review
In a year that otherwise struggled to deliver where comedies were concerned, Knocked Up proved to be a very welcome treasure trove of laughs. It's from Judd Apatow, the man behind The 40 Year Old Virgin and the excellent TV show Freaks and Geeks, and sits easily as an equal to both. It's also a long-awaited showcase for the talents of Seth Rogen, who proves with some conviction that he can headline a movie. The premise of Knocked Up is simple. Seth Rogen and Kathryn Heigl share, for differing reasons, a one-night stand, and several weeks later, the latter discovers she's pregnant. Given that Rogen's character has been jobless for years, and that Heigl is trying to build a TV career, the two don't prove to be a logical match, yet as the pregnancy progresses, they try valiantly to get to know one another. The narrative itself is quite straightforward, but it's the execution and characters that lift it significantly. Apatow knows how to direct comedy, and with a script peppered with plenty of guffaw-out-loud moments and situations, he wrings very hearty laughs from the material. Plus, while its Rogen and Heigl who power the film, the supporting cast is simply superb, particularly the collection of people that Rogen's character surrounds himself with. It's perhaps guilty of running ten minutes too long, and there's little to surprise in the story itself, yet Knocked Up is nonetheless a terrific, earthy and grounded comedy, with so much to enjoy. It's hard to single out individual moments, and instead it simply seems more appropriate to declare Knocked Up as one of the best, and most rewatchable, comedies of the last few years. Don't miss it.--Simon Brew

 Hilarious and recommended January 7, 2008

I saw this recently and left with a stomach ache from laughing so hard. I watched 40 Year Old Virgin again to make a fair assessment, and i found this to be funnier. Don't get me wrong, I love all of Judd Apatow's work, but this to me was the best thing since Freaks & Geeks. Apatow has a brilliant way of letting the audience get to know all of the characters(anyone who has seen his stuff will know that it is a lot and usually the same people)which gives you the feeling that you are a part of what's going on, and makes you interested. By now, I am sure everyone is familiar with the plot summary. Couple meets, hooks up and surprise she's pregnant. I find it amusing that some of the previous comments mention that it it such an unbelievable concept. Well of course it is, it's a movie!!! But come on, is it not entirely true that someone would hook up on a celebratory night out with someone they normally wouldn't? Of course they would! Thus, the meeting of Alison( Ketherine Heigl) and Ben (Seth Rogen)seems so genuine and awkward. The aftermath is the best part though. Since this is a movie, trying to make the best out of a bad situation is a given. The getting to know someone AFTER they have gotten you pregnant, meeting family and friends, realizing the many differences you have, etc. All of this is explored is very realistic fashion, especially the emotion and the trying to have sex while six months along!! Of course the whole thing can't be comedy. With so many other characters to help take the focus off the main two, there will be parts of the story that are more "serious". True is the case towards the end with Alison's sister (Leslie Mann) and her husband (Paul Rudd) having a falling out. This is a very nice, but what seems eternally long, scene about the importance of understanding in a relationship. Could that be the moral of our story Alison and Ben, understanding and acceptance? I think so. Naturally the only thing left is birth and the happily ever after. The hospital scene is definitely NOT for the squeamish. I really hope those parts are not cut from the movie, because they received some of the most reactions. I found this whole seen to be painfully realistic, more so than any other movie has dared to be. Finally, the happy ending is upon us and the closing credits are filled with family snapshots and even childhood photos of cast and crew, very cute. So to you the potential viewer I say that this is an exceptional comedy. It is definitely the funniest thing I have seen this year. I will definitely be seeing it again to see all the parts I missed while laughing. And I must say I was absolutely delighted to see both Martin Starr (do NOT leave the theater during the scenes with his girlfriend) and Loudon Wainwright. Put one more in the win column for Judd Apatow.
I loved this film - and I hate 'romantic comedies'! August 28, 2007

Put me in front of Love Actually, Notting Hill or When Harry Met Sally and some inbuilt quirk of nature makes me fall asleep to prevent the involuntary gagging reflex. I quite simply detest the 'romantic comedy' genre - which is usually neither romantic nor comic. Yet I loved this...
How so? This is genuinely a film that men will find funny AND women will find funny AND both will find funny if they watch it together. From one-night stand to baby, it could all be mawkish or sentimental or simply brutal - but it's none of these things. The situations are funny because they feel true. There is no attempt to idealise unrealistically, and it is the truth of the characters' reactions to their circumstances that makes it compelling. You genuinely want to know how it's all going to end.
The supporting actors are uniformly excellent, too. All in all, this is a must-see comedy.
...And there's no Andie McDowell, no Rupert Everett, no Hugh Grant and no Meg Ryan. Good.
very very funny well worth watching August 30, 2007

I am feel sorry for people who do not find this funny. I thought that its was hysterical and i see a lot of my life and families in this film.
i found it very endering that alisons character wanted a relationship with her childs father surely this should be a guide to how families are created and stick together. Alright the language was very strong but it made the film more amusing.
I would recommend anyone who like 40 year old virgin and the firsst american pie film go and see this film after all my dad who does'nt like romantic films loved this.
I SAW THIS YESTERDAY AT THE CINEMA August 26, 2007

Knocked Up is quite easily one of the best movies I have seen thus far this year. The story takes absolutely no time to be a drawn-out flick where you go, "Make it stop!" This movie is non-stop hilarity, a bit crude, but something that you can truly connect with and hits home with a heartwarming story of love and life.
The movie has a simple premise: two people who are seemingly "living the dream"--Alison, an E! Channel Correspondent and Ben, a half-witted, pot-smoking celebrity nude website administrator along with his five estranged friends whom he also lives with--decide to hook up for a fateful one night stand after meeting at a night club. They do the nasty, and the two part ways after that. The story picks up once again 8 weeks later, as Allison finds herself pregnant with what she hilariously discovers to be Ben's child. At once we as the audience sympathize, even empathize with her at her situation with Ben and the pregnancy. As the movie proceeds we find ourselves riding through the radically changing lives of Ben and Alison from the moment that she breaks the news to him that he's the father to when they fall for each other to the "irreconcilable differences" and finally to the painful and slow phase of "growing up" and facing each other's, as well as their own, fears to accept and uncover the joys of giving life and becoming parents.
Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl do a wondrous job of being the two people that "life came straight at, not caring about their plans". Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, portraying Alison's brother-in-law and sister, are fantastic supporting cast as we often find parallels between the two couples and how they are something of "elders" that show Ben and Alison what it's like to be parents, working both against and for them. Hell, the entire cast is incredible, the comedic timing is impeccable. And Judd Apatow, the man behind the 40 Year Old Virgin, has created yet another heart-warming laugh riot that is its own creation, not simply a rehash of the 40 Year Old Virgin as some would be led to believe.
GO WATCH THIS MOVIE!
Loved it! January 15, 2008
