One of 2007's stand out comedies, Knocked Up's success lies in its rare ability to lampoon stereotypical gender flaws, while at the same time developing a truly charming story of love and redemption. No mean feat! When Allison (Heigl), an impressive young entertainment reporter with a big future, and Ben (Rogen), a lazy loser with no ambition and no idea, share a drunken one-night stand, they suddenly find themselves staring parenthood in the face, putting paid to their respective ambition and lack of ambition. From the writer/director of The 40 Year Old Virgin, Judd Apatow.
"A refreshingly frank, funny odd-couple comedy with engaging leads and too many belly laughs to count."
CNN.com
"Judd Apatow is making the freshest, most honest mainstream comedies in Hollywood."
Newsweek
"This is a rare thing—a comedy for both him and her."
