Knocked up (2007)
Knocked Up
Alison (Heigl) and Ben (Seth Rogan) have a one night stand and she ends up pregnant.
That's the basis of the movie, and what follows are some hilariously funny scenes, and some very serious and emotional ones as well.
Neither Alison or Ben wanted or were prepared for parenthood, but they both stood up to their responsibilities as best as they could.
Ben was so charming and sweet in this movie. The character played by Rogan, was just so sweet and tried his hardest to be there and support Alison throughout the pregnancy despite the fact that he had no job and loved to be lazy, watch porn, and smoke dope.
I really felt like Ben was an awesome guy.
All he wanted was to be there, be a father, and do the best he could.
When he proposed, I felt all mushy inside, I almost teared up. The character was just great.
Alison (Heigl) didn't really "pop" off the screen, but she did ok. It was hard to believe she was pregnant because she didn't get fat anywhere but in the belly. No face, no thighs or ass, just belly.
Real women get big Hollywood, get it right.
But she portrayed Alison pretty well. You could relate to her insecurities over whether or not Ben would truly step up, whether or not she could do this.
I was really happy with the ending of the movie, it was nice to see they stayed together.
This movie was hysterical in places thanks to the awesome supporting cast.
We laughed pretty much the whole way through, it was really funny.
If you missed it in theaters, do yourself a favor and rent or buy it, you won't be disappointed at all.
