Knocked Up (The movie, NOT ME!)
So, Keith and I were kidless last night and he suggests catching a movie. His choice? Knocked Up. Ummm, remember how I confessed my crush on Agent Seeley Booth? Well, Katherine Heigl is one of Keith’s many crushes. I have to admit, the girl is beautiful. And, she can act! Knocked Up was very entertaining. In fact, I laughed my ass off! And, so did everyone else in the theater.
This was a dialogue driven movie. I love those. And, its R rating was VERY well deserved. Do not take young children to see this movie. I repeat, DO NOT take young children to see this movie. However, do take yourselves. If you want to laugh and be grossed out and see a movie with a nice message. Shocking, I know. But, this movie really did have a sweetness about it that was well balanced with the raunchy—Oh! Was it raunchy!—humor.
All in all, I’d give this movie an A. It was very satisfying and real. The problems faced, the growth of the characters, the witty—and sometimes not—dialogue, all made this movie experience fantastic. I’d love to watch it again.
WARNING!!!! If you don’t like lots—and I mean LOTS—of swearing and bad behavior (drugs and such), don’t go to this movie. But, if you liked movies like the 40 Year-Old Virgin, and Something about Mary, or Dazed and Confused, I think you’ll enjoy this one. Just be warned, this movie is not for the faint of heart, or sensibilities. It will offend! But, it’ll make you laugh too.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thanks for the tip, I may just have to catch it =)
Thanks for the review! Every time I saw trailers for this, I laughed my ass off. Favorite: the shopping for kids clothes line "I just pretend I'm a giant."
Life's been completely absurd lately, so this sounds like just the ticket!
Though I'm not sure I need any more encouragement to use inappropriate language. :-)
You know what? I only just heard of this movie a few days ago, and almost immediately wrote it off in my head (I don't even have a good reason for that). I'm going to have to mentally erase the strikeout and see that movie. It sounds awesome!
