Knocked Up (Judd Apatow, 2007)
Rating: 7.8
I went into the theater expecting to discredit this film after the slew of positive reviews it had been receiving as well as my prior knowledge of the undeserved critical acclaim The 40 Year Old Virgin got, however I came out of the theater pleasantly surprised. Knocked Up is an endearing,hilarious and sometimes even raunchy film; a true rarity. What I enjoyed the most was how naturalistic all of the comedy and conversation throughout was. This wasn't a typical romantic comedy where everyone is a professional improv comic armed with an arsenal of witty and superficial dialogue. Most of the comedy does however come from the dialogue, but it seems to flow very well. The film doesn't really rely on any gags either, but rather shows the audience the joy, pain, and overall awkwardness of the situation.
