After young up and coming TV reporter Allison Scott
(Katherine Heigl) gets promoted she heads out to celebrate with her sister
Debbie (Leslie Mann). She ends up having a drunken one night stand with an
unemployed, pot smoking; man child called Ben (Seth Rogan) and a few weeks
later discovers that she is pregnant. Knocked
Up follows the nine months of pregnancy and the difficulties faced by
unprepared soon to be parents Ben and Allison and married couple Debbie and
Pete (Paul Rudd).
I saw Knocked Up
on a transatlantic flight a few years ago and remembered enjoying it but
remembered little of it. With a sort of sequel This is 40 released this month I thought I’d go back and give the
film a second watch. For me it is average in terms of laughs for a Judd Apatow
produced film but considering his films can be very hit and miss this is one of
the most entertaining and also sweetest.
