Knocked up did sound to me like just another standard american comedy movie with a few crude jokes here there but it was directed by Judd Apatow whose “The 40 Year Old Virgin” was howlarious.
Knocked up works because the situations are absolutely something one can totally relate to. The jokes range from ribticklingly funny to crazily hilarious. I’ve never laughed out so hard during sex scenes in any movie. Judd has taken a simple story & absolutely turned it into a hilarious comedy. But inspite of having fart jokes & its likes the movie is very sweet & romantic as well.
Some of the side stories are absolutely hilarious , specially the bearded guy one. And any movie with a reference to Back to the future gets a point up for me. At 132 minutes the movie might sound a little long but it sure does’nt feel that way. One is entertained throughout the movie , there isnt a dull moment anywhere.
My only complaint here would be that the romantic angle between ben & alison wasnt really explored in further which should’ve happened. The change in ben should’ve been shown more & there should’ve been more scenes of them together to drive in the point.
But ofcourse this movie aint for everyone , mostly would appeal to the under 30 demographic. But there is genius in this movie & is totally worth the rental if you really want to have lots of laughs & spend those lazy sunday afternoons.
