Knocked Up, a Review
-
Artist:
So this is a bit late, and I meant to post earlier, however, MOG does not like me and quite frankly, I am feeling a little upset about that. So why should I put my feelings up for all to see? Especially when MOG apparently lives a week in the future, as it says I'm 28 now, whereas I won't be for another week. Anyway [jerks], a couple weeks ago I saw the new Judd Apatow film Knocked Up with my lovely ladyfriend Lindsay. Risky proposition taking your girlfriend to a movie about this subject matter, and knowing Apatow's work ("the 40-Year Old Virgin"), she was still a good sport about it and wanted to see it as well (I think). Besides, it didn't matter what she wanted because she owes me about 1,000 movies after putting me through "Alpha Dog." But that is neither here nor there...On to the movie. I went into this expecting a lot from it, as it was getting rave reviews and I absolutely loved "40-Year Old." Furthermore, one of my idiotic friends who once missed a fantasy baseball draft (this is relevant to the film) to watch LEGALLY BLONDE 2 was saying that it was going to suck. To that I said 'nay.' And it turns out, I was right, as was pretty much every reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes.One of the ways I judge comedies, is based on the quality and reuseability of their lines. I know, that seems pretty stupid and unoriginal, but in fact it's the opposite, the more original the line, the better. For example, and not giving anything away, there were several classic lines in this movie that will work their way into my repertoire upon a second or third viewing of this movie, one involving feces resembling a stuffed animal. I guess you had to be there.
All together though, Knocked Up turned out to be a well-thought-out, and somewhat (jesus I can't believe I'm writing this) touching film about the struggles in relationships, and the struggles with life in general. Sometimes you're thrown a hypothetical curveball in your life where you have to make a decision one way or another, all the while dealing with the potential consequences of your choices. This is Knocked Up in a nutshell. Apatow manages to sustain the morality of the issues at hand while also making his audience laugh at the characters, who could easily be themselves.Here's a song off the soundtrack that features some Bright Eyes, but a lot of this guy, Loudon Wainwright III:
