    I actually grew somewhat fond of Seth Rogen as the cock-blocking cop in Superbad, but he's very bad as a lead actor in a film. However, there's bad (Pineapple Express) and then there's wretched (Knocked Up). This film basically takes his side as he plays a slacker dealing with a shrill hyena (who embodies every other misogynistic stereotype you can name) who is all "responsible" and cares about trivialities like "survival." This is an ugly, ugly movie, wrong and unfunny on so many levels while cloaking its nasty politics in slacker laissez-faire. Even the lead actress called it a turd, yet it remains a darling among some critics. This is the kind of film that almost makes me grateful for Mel Gibson's rantings because at least they are transparent.

    If you're looking for light, funny comedy like "27 Dresses," this isn't it. If you're looking for "American Pie," this is probably close. I should have taken a better look at the movie's description, but the language, the dope smoking, the wife screaming at her husband--YEECH. I kept skipping ahead to see if it got any less disgusting but, nope. I gave up about halfway through the movie. Two things I liked about the movie: (1) Heigl's character doesn't abort her baby in favor of her career and (2) the music by Loudon Wainwright III. But, unless you're up for having a big bucket o' sleeze dumped on you, avoid this film.

    I was surfing one day recently and happened upon a cable run of this movie. A pleasant surprise to be sure, I had very low expectations from the flick just based on the lame title. Gald I was wrong. Seth Rogen is very funny and leads a life I can only envy. While an outlined description of the plot would make one cringe, the execution is excellent. I usually detest movies that lack proper editing to keep them at ninety minutes or less, but funny writing, good acting, and adequate production quality make for an entertaining 129 minutes on this one. I say the only real flaw is a few of the scenes drag a bit and the set-up suggesting that a good looking chick like Katherine Heigl would actually EVER sleep with a guy that looks like Seth Rogen, let alone have a kid with him is utterly absurd. Nonetheless, if you can get over that idiocy, then Knocked-Up is a funny flick. Bottom line: four solid stars for funny

    This and '40 Year Old Virgin' are the only Seth Rogan joints I like.

    Oh my. Those were the only two words I could think of to say about this garbage after I saw it. I was thinking it would be a light romantic comedy, but no. It was more of the Seth Rogan type overplayed and tired humor. I swear I don't know how he or "McLovin" became so cool, but it is just wrong. It had 100 too many f-words, some parts were downright disgusting and made me want to puke, and the story line was far fetched to say the least. The only reason I watched it through to the end was to see if it got better, but no it didn't. It is really a shame Katherine Heigl was in this movie because I think she lost some brain cells while filming it. I just can't recommend this movie to anyone who has ever been a part of a partially intelligent conversation, had any proper schooling, has any respect for women, or anyone who doesn't sit at home all day/everday on the couch eating chips and drinking beer.

    Not as funny as people made it out to be. Good "situational" humor, but otherwise the jokes lacked polish. And the premise was totally whack, I've seen much hotter but would have had 6 better guys hitting on her but apparently settled for him that night because she was fed up with the whole dating scene? Yeah, OK Every movie with Seth Rogen I've ever seen, I'm kind of shocked his character has ever gotten laid. Ever. That goes for this film as well.

    I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and it thereby surprised me when I loved it. The actors are great in their roles and Seth Rogen really shines. I highly recommend this movie for an evenings entertainment.

    This movie is an insult to women everywhere! Not that I expected an epic tale of chick lit from the director of The 40 Year Old Virgin, but come on... it's so crude and unintelligent, how can anyone have enough respect for these characters to want to sit through to the end? I sure as hell didn't. Absolutely horrible.

    Another movie that I just watched this weekend. It's not exactly the greatest movie out there, and is probably ranked a bit too high on this list, but it's a very funny movie.

    It starts slow, but Knocked Up eventually delivers a pretty smart, touching guy flick about the awkward lurch between life stages. I thought the chemistry between Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd saved the movie - each wanting what the other has. There were a couple of laugh out loud moments, though the roomates were kind of over the top. Knocked Up tries to be a Swingers like flick, and it almost pulls it off.
