It's so good I saw it twice.
Knocked Up, Judd Apatow's second directorial offering, is worth your hard earned cash...and I'm saying that from New York City--where it costs at least ten dollars to do anything.
Seth Rogen is Ben Stone: a twenty-something, unemployed, slacker of sorts, who--along with his like-minded buddies-- is content eating, smoking (not cigarettes...), and working on their promising business venture FleshoftheStars.com.
Truly, a catch.
Katherine Hiegl is Allison Scott: a beautiful, successful producer-turned-correspondent for E! Entertainment Television. This isn't to say she's perfect, of course. In fact, she seems a tiny bit stunted. Allison takes residence in her sister Debbie's (Apatow's hilarious wife Leslie Mann) and brother-in-law's (a perfect Paul Rudd) pool house and while she seems to have her life on track viewers are left to wonder where her friends are as Debbie acts as her sole counterpart in the film. While her solitude comes off as a bit bizarre if you were to analyze it, it ends up adding a bit of depth to what could have easily turned into an easy, one-dimensional female lead.
A night out at a club with too many drinks and too little common sense equals a one night stand for the oddly coupled pair. Eight weeks later? Well, the title explains everything.

I don't intend to see it in theaters though. Im not a fan of
wasting $10 to be freezing cold and annoying with people who DON'T
turn off their cell phones.
I at least put mine on vibrate so I can still text and what not,
but I dont carry on full length convos.
