'Knocked Up (2007)' is not always particularity funny, though it certainly has its moments, and sometimes crudity or brashness comes from nowhere to an almost deafening effect. Luckily, the feature finds a way to be entertaining and even compelling without needing the audience to be in stitches, thanks mainly to a likeable set of leads and a central situation that is inherently interesting. The plot beats are all hit just when they predictably should be, including a falling out that is a little overwrought and unbelievable, but as conventional as it may be, it's also somewhat endearing and it helps that it never seems overly sentimental thanks to the injections of real humour throughout. 7/10

If there's one thing Judd Apatow can do right, it's comedies. "Knocked Up" is great in so many ways, the story is hilarious, the characters are all funny, the message is great, and it kick-started Seth Rogen's career. While sure, the plot might not be the most original, the writing is so freaking funny that it makes up for it. No one but Apatow could have directed this, it fits his style perfectly. I guess you could call this a modern classic, I definitely think it'll stand the test of time. Also, props to Leslie Mann for being so annoying in this. I know she's Apatow's wife, but man is her character unlikable in this movie. At least she gets told off by Rogen at the end and learns to mind her own business. Another thing that's pretty funny, is that this is the only movie I can watch Katherine Heigl in. Normally, I can't stand her, but thankfully Judd was able to reel her in for a great performance.

Knocked-up, The movie I was so excited about when I first met the previews. It contains all the big glorifying names which I'm particularly a huge fan of, namely as; Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jason, Jonah, Leslie, Bill Hader and Katherine. They all are the comedy heroes and deliver it with utter perfection every time but unfortunately this is not happening here besides of Seth..Although the movie started with an interesting plot and background, thus enabling viewers getting involved and laugh often but that managed to sustain only till the mid half of the movie. From there on, things started to get boring , full of clichés and predictable story. I literally lost interest in the second half; 65 minutes onwards to be specific. There were too many unwanted and irrelevant scenes dragging the entire fun to evaporate rapidly. Personally I feel that the movie could have been a 30mins shorter, I really had to suffer passing my time in the latter hour.Coming on the caste now, as just said in the beginning, perhaps I was expecting a bit more from them, given the excitement that my favorites are gathered under a single title. But only to my disappointment, they weren't supportive enough. Neither Jason nor Jonah was impressive. SSeemed like entire responsibility was upto Seth, who in turn did a great job maintaining the standard.To conclude, though my review might imprint a negative perception over the readers but it ain't that bad, trust me! ;D but yea, just be careful about the second half. Take it a friendly warning. ;p

Seth Rogen is a unattractive, short, non-funny character* that uses his mediocre success to lure a beautiful talented actress (wearing a pregnancy vest... obviously to make the act of intercourse (or so he wishes) a bit more bearable) into making a unfulfilled rotten fantasy come true. Seth does not have the intellectual or artistic capability to be any kind of web or media designer and tries to fulfill his unfulfillable fantasies of being any worth, what so ever, to society by playing this uncomfortable and unbelievable character *Seth Rogaen himselfSeth Rogen is a waste of time for any body that has a double digit IQ
