Universal Pictures Release Date: In this film about a one-night stand with unexpected consequences. Judd Apatow takes comic look at the best thing that will ever ruin your best-laid plans: See All Details and Credits. Village Voice - Robert Wilonsky. Ultimately, what makes Knocked Up a terrific film--one of the year's best, easily--is its relaxed, shaggy vibe; if it feels improvised in places, that's because Apatow trusts his actors enough to let them make it up as they go, like the people they're playing.
New York Post - Kyle Smith. Ridiculous comedies can be fine, but the ones that matter creep up close to the truth. This one lives in it. Washington Post - Ann Hornaday. Turns out to be not just rude, crude and outrageously funny but a deceptively sophisticated meditation on moral agency -- with pot jokes! Christian Science Monitor - Peter Rainer. Sweep aside the gross-outs and you've got the family values comedy of the year.
The New Yorker - Anthony Lane. On the surface, Apatow's films are about sex--obsessively, exclusively, and exhaustively.
This one lasts more than two hours. But that is a clever feint, for their true subject is age. Empire - Ian Nathan. Knocked Up touches places most comedies wouldn't dare, some of them scarily biological, some of them scarily accurate. It's the sleeper hit of the summer, but don't worry: Austin Chronicle - Josh Rosenblatt. Like most of Apatow's work, Knocked Up walks a perilous line between sarcasm and sentimentality, and though it's extremely funny in bursts, the movie flirts once too often with schmaltz before toppling into melodrama in its third act.
The fault lies as much with Apatow's casting as his writing. Excellent in every way. This was freakin' hilarious, who cares if the f word was said a lot, i actually couldn't breathe through half of the movie it was so funny. It has the whole theater cracking up, brilliant movie … Expand.
MichelleS Mar 14, I don't know what greater service a mere movie can perform these days. A refreshingly frank, funny odd-couple comedy with engaging leads and too many belly laughs to count. Hilarious from moment to moment, but leaving behind both a warm glow and a sting. This is a picture that refuses to fetishize either the ability to conceive or the significance of our place in the universe once we've done so.
What makes Knocked Up stand out is not just the fact that the jokes are side-splittingly funny but that nearly everything that happens to the couple rings so true. The very fact that some clearly juvenile filmmakers have hit on the truth that a baby in the womb is as much a life as the one cradled in its mother's arms is encouraging. Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl have great chemistry onscreen and they are hysterical together.
A good comedy, funny and sweet, whose first hour is so hilarious and raunchy it had me laughing real hard.
For fun-loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one-night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's. Knocked Up is a American romantic comedy film written, directed, and co- produced by Judd Apatow, and starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, .
After that, however, it becomes a bit irregular and stretches for too long, with some unnecessary and unfunny jokes that could have been easily left out. If I were to rank the 10 funniest movies of the last 10 years, this would definitely be in the top 5. She is an aspiring TV personality for E! Polar opposites, but they try to make it work. The supporting cast is amazing and full of great comedic actors. My favorites are probably Pete Paul Rudd and Debbie Leslie Mann as a married couple with 2 kids and a lot of problems. Hell, they have a sequel coming out about them.
This movie is also full of great one liners, that are still hilarious. Just goes to show that R rated comedies can be raunchy, fun, and smart. This is a modern comedy classic that holds up nicely and remains mandatory viewing for all fans of comedy. I love Judd Apatow movies because the dialogue is so cuttingly, honestly rib-burstingly funny.
I laughed so loud I scared my neighbour's pregnant cat into labour. Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen are earnest, clunky and so effing good-intentioned in this movie, but it's really the critical harpy sister Leslie Mann and her burnt-out-bludgeoned-down husband Paul Rudd, holla who steal the show for me. The two couples present a great comparison study for the "train your partner to become who you want them to be" school vs "love and accept them for everything they are" school of relationships.
Either way it's always gonna be tough, but Apatow proposes a dangerous theory that all problems turn out okay when you make them knuckle-bitingly, snort-out-loud hilarious.
He reminds me to be bold. Here's my favourite monologue from the show: I would tear, that ass, up. Not, you know, for the earth. That mean if there's 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a black midget in the crowd. Cute funny movie, just wrong on many occasions in just the right way. I had fun time with this one. More Top Movies Trailers Forums.
