Knocked Up

From the parents of the 40 Year Old Virgin (and I know that phrase is used a lot but fuck it, i like it) comes the story of Ben and Alison in Knocked Up. Alison has just received a promotion and to celebrate goes out with her sister to a club where she meets Ben, jump to 8 weeks later and Alison realises she is pregnant and it's Ben's baby. Although the pair have very little in common they decide to go though the pregnancy together. With the help of Ben's friends, Alison's sister and her Husband. And as the baby matures so do Ben and Alison.


Another hilarious film from Judd Apatow and Seth Rogan, with so many laugh out loud moments it's hard to tell what comedy of 2007 can rival it, as this is the best one I've seen all year. Rogan and the rest of the cast take their improvising flares and uses them from start to finish, which makes the film nothing but better and more realistic. This is one of the films of the year that has diefinatly lived up to the hype and I'm hoping that Superbad will be as good. Filled with classic "Apatow" jokes and "Rogan" moments this is one to see this year. From the Munich talk to the no shaving bet this film is funny inside and out.
My Rating: **** & 1/2
