Knocked Up (2007)
It’s every man’s worst nightmare: after a one-night stand with a pretty girl you meet at a nightclub, she calls you up six weeks later and tells you she’s pregnant and is going to keep the baby. I would imagine that if Knocked Up sent any lesson to its male audience, it would be to give out a fake phone number next time. Just kidding.
This is one of those comedies that was hilarious at the time, but no one has any idea how funny it will be as the years pass. Who knows how funny it will be to laugh at a guy completely unprepared for fatherhood suddenly reading baby books and going shopping for bassinets? Years from now, audiences might wonder why Katherine Heigl wanted Seth Rogen to be an active father figure in her child’s life if he was so irresponsible and ill equipped. For now, it’s still funny when drunk people think they’re good dancers, when doctors have less tact than you’d like, and when bedroom scenes don’t go as planned. If you missed this one when it came out, gather up a group of your friends and have a steady stream of cocktails ready. Just don’t do what I did: no matter how cool and modern your parents want to prove they are, don’t watch this movie with them.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to graphic sex scenes, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
