I have been waiting for Knocked Up to come out on DVD.  I've had it in my queue on Netflix for sometime now and was excited when it finally made it to my mailbox.  Knocked Up stars Katherine Heigl who also plays Izzie on Grey's Anatomy.  This was one of the reasons I wanted to see Knocked Up, but I also thought the movie would be a good comedy.  The pre-views were very funny and it promised to be a good movie to watch. 

Plot Summary

This movie is basically about a girl, Alison (Heigl) who goes out partying with her sister for a night of celebration on her job promotion.  Her sister ends up having to leave early and Alison is left with a group of guys that they had just met.  She ends up having a few drinks with Ben (Seth Rogen), hitting it off and then leaving with him.  They end up spending the night together and as you can guess from the title, she gets "knocked up".

The story continues with Alison jjuggling her job, her pregancy, and her baby's father who is jobless.  It's full of laughter and you will find yourself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. 

Overall

Knocked Up
was written and directed by Judd Apatow.  I think the roles were well cast and Apatow did a good job directing this movie.  The supporting cast for this movie were adequate for the most part, however, I wouldn't go so far as to say outstanding.  The movie has very few slow spots, although it runs a little over 2 hours long.  I found it to be funny, enjoyable and very entertaining.  I also enjoyed the soundtrack and felt the music was a good match to the movie. 

Knocked Up won two Teen Choice Awards.  It is rated R for sexual content and language.  It is a movie that all women who have had a baby can releate to.  It is an entertaining film that most people will find enjoyable, especially Katherine Heigl fans!  I give Knocked Up 4 VP's!

I usually don't watch teen films but if it's funny and entertaining, maybe I'll take a look. Thanks for the recommendation! :>
