A quick review because I promised Josh I would write one. If you liked The 40-Year-Old Virgin, you’ll probably enjoy Knocked Up. It’s pretty much the same cast with the same style of writing with the same uneven pace throughout. There are great laughs in the film but the film relied too much on a couple of jokes. Too many pot jokes for my taste. I didn’t like it as much as Virgin, to be honest. The biggest problem is that Seth Rogen’s character’s transformation took too long. They make it to week 24 before he realizes she doesn’t like the fact that he’s broke, smokes a ton of pot, and is a bit, uh, vulgar in public. And then, in the last 12 weeks, he suddenly realizes what’s wrong and changes everything about his life. It’s forgivable, because his being normal kind of ruins the foundation of most of the humor.

So, go see it if you liked Virgin. You could wait until it comes out on DVD, though, because it didn’t seem to benefit from the crowd much at all.
