Knocked Up
Director: Judd Apatow
Year: 2007
Stars: Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogan, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd
This started off slowly, and wasn't particularly endearing. It appeared to feature a whole bunch of idiots who, whether or not you were supposed to, I truly hated from the moment I saw them. I got the impression you were meant to find their idiocy endearing, but I simply found it annoying.
Knocked Up, perhaps unsurprisingly, tells the story of Alison Scott (Heigl), a girl who has a one-night stand with Ben Stone (Rogan), and ends up pregnant. This being a true Hollywood movie in every sense, I imagine you can guess the rest.
The movie does improve. It's a long film (too long), but by the end of it I didn't quite hate the characters to the same degree any more. I can't say it didn't feel like a bit of a waste of 2 1/2 hours of my life though.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
