Uma comédia inteligente, realista e invulgarmente adulta dentro do seu género e público-alvo. Mas, por outro lado, uma comédia não tão divertida com personagens moderadamente simpáticos, um dos quais - ELE - é, na verdade, um idiota labrego.

What if this man got you pregnant? Although Knocked Up doesn’t offend me in any way, and in its genre I even liked it, I am rather horrified that this type of routineer humor might well dictate the trend across the Pond for the next few years. To start with, Apatow isn’t Kevin Smith. Apatow also tries to make pop-culture references and “coolly crude" talk almost anywhere, but where Smith uses these ingredients to impart something or at least for entertainment, Apatow throws out random references to a movie/TV show/game or the word “fuck" and carries on with something else. Nothing comes of them, they lead nowhere and the movie would give exactly the same impression even without them. Luckily Knocked Up isn’t purely a comedy. Basically a classic romantic genre piece where, to lighten things up, we have a couple of characters who stir up the otherwise rather serious waters. The cast is pleasant and so in the end what harms the picture most is the over-ambitious length. Some scenes are just crying out to be cut. An ideal movie for a date. Both of you will find something you like about it, you’ll have fun and you’ll have enough time to devote to other activities without really missing anything happening on the screen.

A comedy should entertain and I have no choice but to say that I didn't laugh once during the whole two hours - in fact, I didn't even get the feeling that I should be laughing. Whenever a situation that seemed like humor was approaching, it was usually ruined by some vulgarity, stupidity, or the scriptwriter's failure. This film clearly targets a younger audience in their teenage years, which is the reason for the naivety, insincerity of the storytelling, and cheaper humor. It remains true that the film can convey some timeless differences between the female and male perspectives on the world and relationships, but a film like Barefoot in the Park can sell romance and immaturity of relationships twice as effectively with infinitely greater elegance and style, and any episode of The Simpsons can reveal the struggles of parenthood and marriage in a lot funnier and more cultivated way. The main female characters, led by Katherine Heigl, are a good aspect of the film, as well as the awareness that American studios produce infinitely dumber and more poorly crafted films in the same genre. Overall impression: 40%.

Judd Apatow proves why he is one of the revered filmmaker demi-gods despite the overly long runtime (for the genre). This is because of his incredible sense of creating parallels between the viewers’ own lives, wherein finding "one’s own thing" is not all that much of a problem. Despite the flurry of vulgarities and low humor, it works. This is especially thanks to Rogen's sympathetically civil charisma of a sweaty redneck and Heigl's ability to make even the most emotional moments believable. The ending is beautiful.

Ambitious, but at the same time objectionable in its boldness. It can be overlooked that a beautiful girl gets together with an unknown unappealing weirdo, but not the development of their relationship. Confessions come in a very forceful way and the comical situations do not at all correspond to the current mood. In addition, the only character that one can identify with is the knocked-up Alison. The main hero is a boorish ignoramus, who can ruin everything and still has a sense of victory. The script doesn't make it any easier for him at all, because he is given a gang of unfunny druggies as friends, who only leer and make hopeless remarks. I'll show mercy for Judd Apatow mostly because I managed to endure this sweaty endeavor for more than two hours, for the occasional chuckles (Robert De Niro's shoes), and for the beautiful Katherine Heigl.
