Knocked Up

Funny movie. If you have kids you'll like it. The language is pretty raw, which, for me, is like a breath of fresh air. And then there's the young actress who plays the lead... I think I'll just stop right there...

Isn't knocked up when your boat heels un-controllably?

What movie is that?

Alex,
Knocked Up is the title. Rent it. YOU will like it. Can't say that about everyone here, but YOU DEFINITELY WILL. If a movie can have a dirty mind but a good heart, then that's what it has.

We saw that movie a few weeks ago - daughter bought a copy and lent it to us. Somehow sh, I can picture you as the Ben Stone character . . . don't know why exactly.

Katherine Heigl has been a long legged hotty since her Disney movie when she was a teen. She also kept my heart going when she was on the scfi series "Roswell"

So that's her name... Katherine Heigl... Sounds Nordic... very very very Nordic... woof!

sh,
Sorry for the delay - but I was not ignoring your question. I was about to reply when my office guest, scheduled for 10:00, walked in at 10:20 - was nearly convinced he was a no-show. Just left, so back to more important things . . .

I did like the movie, so'd my wife. But not at first, eventually warmed up to that clueless Ben Stone(r) character. I was really surprised the two main characters ended up seemingly happy. Ben, the clueless, never-grow-up party animal, was such a mis-match to the girl he knocked-up after that party . . . what was her name Alison?

I thought the story was great, but type-casting to be very unrealistic . . . what was she thinking?

My wife and I had EXACTLY the same reaction, my friend. I couldn't have expressed it more precisely. It's not often that we get to watch a movie, and when we do it usually turns out to be a complete waste of time. We watched the Da Vinci Code a while back... none for me, thanks. Anyway, this turned out to be a pleasant surprise, the lower-case objections you cited notwithstanding. So you take your pleasures where you find them...
