ROTFLMAO

Knocked Up. Judd Apatow is The Man. I love his TV shows and 40-Year-Old Virgin was surprisingly funny, so I had set the bar pretty high for this movie, but I wasn’t expecting to be in pain from laughing non-stop for the last two hours. Literally, every scene is just as funny as the one before it, broken up with just enough pauses to let the audience catch their breath. Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl and Paul Rudd are all fantastic, but as with all Apatow projects, the supporting players steal scenes every chance they get. The best part is, it’s not a one-joke movie. There’s something for everybody here, and the humor is varied enough to carry the entire film—some jokes are raunchy, some sweet, some self-deprecating (Rogen and his roommates have some particularly good running commentary about what sex-starved geeks they are). It’s nice to see a mainstream movie every once in a while that doesn’t insult my intelligence. Plus, the cast list reads like a reunion of previous Apatow collaborators. If you’ve ever seen Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, or 40-Year-Old Virgin, you’ll recognize pretty much everyone in Knocked Up. Without a doubt, the funniest movie I’ve seen since... well, since 40-Year-Old Virgin. If you haven’t gotten around to seeing Knocked Up yet, cancel your plans for the weekend and head for the theater. It’s worth the trip.
