Movie Review by Skye

I love Seth Rogan. He is like the every guy you hung out in college with or was an old friend you just sit out on the porch and chill with. However, somehow, he is now emerging as a major Hollywood comedic actor. That is really neat.
I believe that producers are getting smarter with certain genres. Although the likes of Jim Carrey and Robin Williams are brilliant comedians, we don't always want that polished, over the top comedy. Sometimes we just want the guy that is well, like us. Just a guy, no more, no less, but funny with just making jokes about a commercial on television or busting on you just for a laugh. That seems to be the genius behind Rogan and his funny band of characters that he lives with in the movie Knocked Up. Can it really be called genius if it seems to come so naturally? Maybe not, what it does do is make you pull up a seat at the table and feel extremely welcome.
The movie, about a regular shmo who hooks up for a one night stand with a hottie and finds himself going to be the papa to her baby is a smartly done. It shows how two people that really don't have too much in common, are thrown into the mix to try and make something work for the benefit of something or someone bigger than themselves.
Just like Judd Apatow's The 40 Year Old Virgin, the script is full of real emotion mixed with fun outrageous comedic moments. It is a fun movie, and what makes it fun is the actors and their performances. I find that the movie is a bit too long, I would say when Rogan and Paul Rudd head to Las Vegas could have been left on the editing floor, but this doesn't take away from the whole of the movie itself. It is a fun ride.

| They are playing this film on HBO on demand right now and I catch myself watching it all the time. I also really like Leslie Mann which I think is hott as well and always funny as hell in everything that she does. |
