Default GO SEE THIS MOVIE! (Knocked Up!)

This movie is bloody hilarious. I've seen it twice already, once at a pre-screening a couple months ago, and again last night, and I'd say its an instant classic. If you liked Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin, Super Troopers, etc, go spend the $12 to go see this flick, you won't be disappointed! I'd even see it again, theres so much awesomeness in it.

I am glad this movie is getting good reviews. I like Judd Apatow's shows and it will be good to see some of the Freaks and Geeks/Undeclaired guys together again.

If this really is the 2nd coming of those movies, what the **** are they doing showing those previews?

It makes it look nothing more than a really weak romantic comedy.

I'm interested in seeing it, but I've really grown to hate going to the theatre.

Had some great laughs for sure, but I did think it dragged on at times. Nonetheless, it is certainly a classic. I went with a big group of friends and everyone loved the movie.

Previews on TV have to be PG or G rated. Most of the charm of movies like these are usually 14A - 18A material. Thus all of the good parts never make it to the public airwaves.

Rave reviews across the boards from rottentomatoes:http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/knocked_up/

I really like Judd Apatow's work he is witty and complex is his humor…the banter in 40 year old-virgin was hilarious…but at the same time he can take some heart warming cliché’s and take the edge off of them while still getting his values across

I got a text from my girlfriend last night telling me she just saw it with some friends, and they were going back in to watch it again because they missed lots of the movie laughing.

That's a pretty solid review in my opinion.

Seth Rogen was one of the funniest parts of 40 Year Old Virgin so I've been looking forward to seeing this one.

If you loved this movie (as I did), go to youtube and search under "knocked up deleted scenes" for two gems. Don't do this at work as there is cursing in both scenes.

Is he the guy playing the father in this one and the "Plant the seed, let it grow into a plant, then f*** the plant" guy from virgin?

That guy is pretty much the reason why I want to see this movie.

I am definitely looking forward to this one. I like Seth Rogan and it looks like Paul Rudd might be in this one a little bit, I think I saw him in one of the previews, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. He and Seth were the funniest part of 40 Year Old Virgin. I have heard only good things about it so far.

Paul Rudd plays the biggest supporting male role in the movie.

Great movie by the way - definitely worth seeing. It was pretty different than other romantic comedies. The last quarter got pretty sappy, but the jokes are very crude which you don't usually see in romantic comedies.

He is outstanding! His timing and delivery are hilarious. I took noticed of his work when did was guesting on Friends for a handful of episodes. He's definitely underrated.

Am I the only person who didn't think this movie was all that great? Granted, it was funny. But with that cast, I thought it was going to be on par, or at least close to 40 Year Old Virgin. I agree that it dragged on at times, and in the last half hour, turned into a full-fledged chick flick. I must say, I was quite disappointed with the movie, maybe I went in with too high of expectations. Liked the whole Canadian angle though, I liked how he was cruisin around with a B.C. license plate.

The one husband with the black hair, who was also in 40 Year Old Virgin, was hilarious I thought. One scene I was killing myself laughing at was when they went to Vegas, and popped the 'shrooms before seeing Cirque de Solei. When buddy yells out "The 'shrooms are turning on me!" I nearly p***** my pants. Same with his "rolling the dice" move on the dancefloor, I'm definitely breaking that one out next time I'm at the bars.

All in all, definitely had its memorable quotes, but dont go in expecting it to be anywhere near 40 Year Old Virgin levels. I still say the last half hour was a complete chick flick.
