Alison and Ben are having a baby. The thing is Alison and Ben don't really know each other and don't really even like each other. But that in itself is a perfect match for any movie. And in the hands of director Judd Apatow it works marvellously together. After a random (and typically drunken) one-night stand Ben (Seth Rogan) and Alison (Katherine Heigl) end up pregnant and begin the process of getting to know one another in the clear, cold light of day. Knocked Up works exceptionally well thanks to the chemistry between the two stars and the perfect pacing Apatow employs in his direction. There are several laugh-out-loud, uncontrollable funny lines in the film. More importantly though, the film allows the characters time to know each other so that in the end we believe that what we see on screen could be 'real'. The supporting cast are all standouts as well, in particular Jay Baruchel (as one of Ben's buddies) and Paul Rudd (as Ben's sort-of brother-in-law). If you're looking for a laugh, do yourself a favour and get knocked out with giggles watching Knocked Up.
My rating 9 out of 10.
