Knocked Up

I saw it Friday night.
I laughed.
Is it my new favorite movie?
Naw.
But it is funny and I recommend seeing it.

Marshal has some funny lines, his character is funny...very Barney-esque.

Apatow keeps true to his 40yr Old style of making it a long comedy with an actual "heart" and story line.

Judd is good but there are a few times he and Rogan just go at it alla the "I know you're gay because" bit, and while it is funny, kinda seems a little too intentional

All in all I feelt as though it was a $9.75 well spent...and for me that is a big deal because lately buying a Green Tea Vitamin Water is a calculated expense

OH! and they kinda bash Mathew Fox for a second and I didn't take kindly to that
but then there was a Eternal Sunshine poster in Rogan's character's house and I liked that

What did you guys think?

Just saw it. Definitely enjoyed it.

My first few reactions:

1. Much more graphic than I expected... just way more than I thought I was going to see. While Katherine Hegel never shows her boobs you see plenty, they definitely keep the sex scenes longer than you think they are and a few other surprises.

2. I have to say I think Kristin Wiig's and Paul Rudd's characters were definitely my favorites.

3. I think what made the movie really good was how they balanced it. There were definitely the guy moments and definitely the moments where I think the girl feels more... well ashamed to understand.

I agree with Chris, definitely a go see... just not with the parents or anyone you are thinking about marrying or ever having a baby with. Thank god John Krasinski was busy...

I saw it, I thought it was great...laughed my ass off, smoked before it though so I'm sure that helped a lot. Here's what I thought:

1. Katherine Hegel is a major babe..wow I never thought she was that hot, but she looks fine.

2. I thought Seth Rogan did a great job as the main male character, some of his lines were hilarious. Both him and Hegel did good jobs as the lead...seeing's how they are both virgins to the leading role.

3. I agree with you Tina, it was very graphic and vulgar, I don't watch Gay's...I mean Grey's, but it was funnying watching Hegel drop f-bombs based on my impression of her character in Grey's

4. There is also a poster of Fear and Loathing in the background of one scene.

5. How hot does Jessica Biel look in her movie? Saw the preview while seeing Knocked Up and man does she look smoking hot..same thing as Hegel, I thought they were hot, but not this hot. Is it true that she's with Jt because if so, Jt is the man....Rand, Fortune get back to me on that one.

Kristin Wiig (who played Katherine Heigl's colleague at E!) absolutely stole every scene that she was in (which unfortunately... only amounted to two scenes... I would've loved a third). I totally agree with you on that, Tina.

I thought it was hilarious to see Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd flip the whole "you know how I know you're gay"-thing on its head, and go in the completely opposite --- blatantly hitting on each other. Seth Rogen's man-crush on Paul Rudd was definitely enjoyable to watch.

Tina,

Who would you rather go out on a date with John K or D Wright?

Tina would rather go on a date with her boyfriend Sam

i think tina is right about not seeing it with anyone you want to marry and have a baby with-- i saw it with dre and i have to say it gave me some major anxiety.

i LOVED the movie-- very hilarious. however i do have one comment: no pregnant lady would ever wax. and no one should expect her to.

Limmer,
In response to your question I would much rather a date with John Krasinski than D.Wright. Anonymous was wayyyyy off.

Although I love David to no end, he's a MLB player; one date would most certainly be the end of it. I don't know what it is about Krasinski, but I just feel like it could work... yeah, yeah I know how pathetic it sounds but I seriously feel that way. That being said, if any of you can find a way for me to meet him (emannorandkajhadf) hook a sister up!
