Re: Knocked Up

I just saw this last night and I can honestly say this is the funniest movie I have seen since There's Something About Mary. Only unlike TSAM, this movie had a compelling plot and the execution was much, much better. Without a doubt Seth Rogen is one of the premier comedy actors in the business today even if he'll always be tight cast into certain roles. Then again, Dave Chappelle got his start playing a stoner, so the sky could be the limit for Rogen. I'd love to see him get a sitcom on Fox or F/X.

These stories crack me up. As if a story about a post-one night stand pregnancy is that original.

lol...that's my cousin. And the book is the EXACT same as the movie. No chance that she wins though...its not like this **** isn't common.

Re: Knocked Up

According to Apatow, the book is about a chick getting pregnant by her fiance, not some random dude. That doesn't sound the same at all.

Re: Knocked Up

This type of thing happens so much (woman getting impregnated by a guy she just met) that it's nearly impossible to say it was plagerized.

If I wrote a movie about a group of movie stuck on an Island does that make me a Lost ripper or a Gilligan's Island plagerizer? Point? Neither. People need to find better use of their time to make money instead of trying to find a cheap route.

Exactly!

To theaub, your cousin has to realize that the wheel has been reinvented time and time again. It's very possible that Knocked Up's premise was laid out without direct or even slight influence from that book.

He did, 6 years ago.... It was called Undeclared and it was a show about college... I always thought it was underrated.

Doing the math that puts him about 19 when that series started.

Oh I agree with you...frankly I don't know why she's wasting her time. Her side of the family is ****ing loaded.

Freeks and Geeks was better.

Re: Knocked Up

Just saw the movie....and the first thing I have to say is that Katherine Heigl is STUNNINGLY beautiful.

I felt like strangling Debbie's character throughout the whole damn movie.

I loved the Back to the Future jokes, since I'm such a BTTF nut.

It was pretty damn funny, I enjoyed it a lot. There were some lines where I just busted out laughing and said "OMG".

"It's a girl, buy some pink ****!"

Re: Knocked Up

Just got back from seeing Knocked Up. The theatre was packed, which suprised me. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile, one of the best comedies I've seen in many, many years. From beginning to end, I really never felt the movie slowed down much. Definately worth seeing, I'll be buying it when it releases on video.

Re: Knocked Up

I finally saw it and it was hilarious. I didn't think it was too long at all and the last hour wasn't cheesy like in Wedding Crashers.

Re: Knocked Up

The best movie I've seen in almost 2 years. The film was full of heart and laughs.

Judd Apatow is a Man God!

The movie was like a 40 Year Old Virgin/Freeks and Geeks/Undeclared/The Office cast reunion.

40 Year Old Virgin:

Seth Rogen
Paul Rudd
Leslie Mann
Stormy
Steve Carell
Jonah Hill
Loudon Wainwright

Freeks and Geeks:

Seth Rogen
Jason Segel
Martin Starr
James Franco

Undeclared:

Seth Rogen
Jay Baruchel
Jason Segel
Loudon Wainwright

The Office:

Steve Carell
BJ Novak
Craig Robinson

I'm probably missing a few other names. The movie was funny from start to finish and the cast was outstanding. With the success of the film, it's clear Seth Rogen can carry a movie now. It's always good to see the local guy do well. I noticed his character came from Vancouver and how all of his male buddies character names were also their real names. The film even had a joke about how much older Rogen looks than his age.

The girl from My Father The Hero is all grown up. I've never found Katherine Heigl attractive until this film. Her role was originally given to Anne Hathaway but she turned it down. After seeing Heigl's performance, it's hard to picture anybody else doing a better job with the character.

One of the biggest mysteries is why isn't Paul Rudd headlining or co-headlining his own movies. The Objecy Of My Affection is almost 10 years old and he has rebounded nicely from that dud. Rudd has the talent and the looks to be a bigger star than he is. At least from his IMDB profile, it does look like he might be getting bigger roles in some of his upcoming films.

The cameo's by Ryan Seacrest and James Franco were really funny. Kristen Wiig was also great and her character was sort of like one of her characters on SNL.

I already can't wait for the 2 Disc DVD. They filmed a faux documentary about how Rogen was the 10th choice to be casted as the leading man in Knocked Up. Apatow said he has about 6hrs worth of material for extras right now although I'm sure this will be trimmed.

Knocked Up is one of those rare films were everything clicked. Knocked Up is an instant classic.

I have no choice but to give this movie an ............... A

Re: Knocked Up

Yeah that Ryan Seacrest part was hilarious, I can't believe he would do something like that. I'm really looking forward to whatever Apatow and company decide to do next.

Re: Knocked Up

I agree with jmood, the seacrest part was a classic.
