Amazon.co.uk Review
In a year that otherwise struggled to deliver where comedies were concerned, IKnocked Up/I proved to be a very welcome treasure trove of laughs. It?s from Judd Apatow, the man behind IThe 40 Year Old Virgin/I and the excellent TV show IFreaks and Geeks/I, and sits easily as an equal to both. It?s also a long-awaited showcase for the talents of Seth Rogen, who proves with some conviction that he can headline a movie. P The premise of IKnocked Up/I is simple. Seth Rogen and Kathryn Heigl share, for differing reasons, a one-night stand, and several weeks later, the latter discovers she?s pregnant. Given that Rogen?s character has been jobless for years, and that Heigl is trying to build a TV career, the two don?t prove to be a logical match, yet as the pregnancy progresses, they try valiantly to get to know one another. P The narrative itself is quite straightforward, but it?s the execution and characters that lift it significantly. Apatow knows how to direct comedy, and with a script peppered with plenty of guffaw-out-loud moments and situations, he wrings very hearty laughs from the material. Plus, while its Rogen and Heigl who power the film, the supporting cast is simply superb, particularly the collection of people that Rogen?s character surrounds himself with. P It?s perhaps guilty of running ten minutes too long, and there?s little to surprise in the story itself, yet IKnocked Up/I is nonetheless a terrific, earthy and grounded comedy, with so much to enjoy. It?s hard to single out individual moments, and instead it simply seems more appropriate to declare IKnocked Up/I as one of the best, and most rewatchable, comedies of the last few years. Don?t miss it.--ISimon Brew/I

4 out of 5 stars People in relationships will relate to this...   December 13, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

People watching this sort of film out of the blue may not be familiar with Seth Rogan, many people would presume he's fresh on the scene and new to this business but look harder at his face and you will recognise him from bit parts in older classics such as 40 year old Virgin, You me and Dupree and the legendary Anchorman. This is not to mention his writing credentials like Drillbit Taylor, Superbad and it may surprise people but farther back than that, Ali G in da USA. No, seriously. br /br /Now this should go somewhere to explain where this little gem came from. br /He is one of those actors who lets face it, isn't going to really fluctuate from role to role, but what he does give is characters that has a quality that most people (and I don't just mean stoners) can relate to. Which is half the battle in creating a central character that audiences care about.br /br /In Knocked up he plays the lovable loser who by a string of pure luck, hooks up with a beauty in a nightclub (Katherine Heigl) who's at a bit of a low and goes home with him. So far so good - Katherine by the way was in that Gerard Depardieu film `My Father the Hero' from the 90's can you believe it? br /If the title didn't give it away, the birds and the bee's do what they do and from here on is a series of hilarious events that play out....but all heartfelt enough to make you really hold an interest to how things are going to play out.br /There are some really funny parts to this movie that different people will relate to. The whole impregnation dilemma and months that follow was probably a close reflection of somebody the writers knew, it's that accurate and funny I challenge anyone who watches this to not have the `what if talk' about what they would do if it happened to them - it's one of those, and lets face it, if a movie gets you talking about it after you've switched it off, it cant be bad right?br /Another scene to note is when the boys go to Vegas that is hilarious, add to this a few others I wont mention, that push this rom-com a little bit ahead of the rest.br /br /As for the DVD, not even standard deleted scenes, commentary or even the always advertised on this genre of movie DVD's the tag of `extreme/uncorked/uncut edition' or in this case 'Extended And Unprotected Special Edition' which honestly I never can tell the difference from the original but still, it makes you feel like you're getting something extra...not here. Shame, go for the 2-discer instead!br /


5 out of 5 stars Hilarious!   October 11, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I totally loved this film and after owning it a week, I'd watched it 3 times - Seth's infectious laugh is enough to make me laugh! If you like Forgetting Sarah Marshall or 40 Year Old Virgin, you should like this! Think this is actually funnier than both of them to be honest! Paul Rudd is hilarious as always and really makes this film, "I'm gonna throw you in my Delorian and gun it to '88" - my fave line from the film lol!!! br /br /Try it, I think you'll like it!!


2 out of 5 stars Pretty lame!   September 24, 2008
  0 out of 2 found this review helpful

This film sucks! The script, direction and storyline are sooooo dull! OK, the acting's not too bad and there are a couple of mildly amusing moments but we were itching for the credits to roll after about an hour. br /br /In the right context, I really don't mind swearing in films but obscene language seems to have been added for no other reason than to raise the age classification to 15 (UK). This really doesn't make sense as the target audience (12 year old girls) will miss out on seeing this. I wouldn't waste my time unless, of course, you're a 12 year old girl. br /


3 out of 5 stars Mindless,un-pc idiotic, but enjoyable enough   August 17, 2008
This is a film designed to entertain, the characters are 2 dimensional and unsympathetic, don't interact well and serve only to move the story from one scene to another. That said, it is enjoyable enough and didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. If you want an unplanned pregnancy flick with depth and heart buy Juno. If you just want to laugh, buy this.br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /i


3 out of 5 stars likeable characters and one or two very funny moments   August 9, 2008
A man gets a woman pregnant on what she thinks is a one night stand,they hardly know each other, but decide to see if they should stay together for the sake of the baby.I would describe this as a film with likeable characters that moves along at a gentle pace with one or two very funny moments but it is generally only mildly amusing.The film is only suitable for people 15 years and older because of strong language and drug use.
