Did You Know?

Trivia:
Anne Hathaway was originally cast as Alison Scott but left due to 'creative differences'. In an interview, she revealed that she objected to Judd Apatow's plan to use footage of a real birth. Juliette Lewis, Drew Barrymore, Rachael Leigh Cook, Cameron Diaz, Claire Danes, Tiffani Thiessen, Josie Davis, Uma Thurman and Renée Zellweger all dropped out or were booted out. Christina Aguilera turned it down in order to focus on her music career. Brooke Shields, Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker were deemed too old.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When Ben is watching Cheaper by the Dozen on the TV, the film skips from a scene near the beginning (where Tom is getting all the kids up for school) to a scene near the middle (where Tom is putting a band aid on one of the girls and fishes an athletics cup out of the pasta).

Quotes:

Jay: I got to get off! I got to get off! Got to get off! Got to get off!



User Review

Vulgar, Sure, But Certainly Not Stupid.

Rating: 8/10

I've noticed a lot of the negative comments about this title tend to focus on this movie's vulgar, 'stupid' humor. Now let's get one thing straight. Knocked Up is vulgar, absolutely it is, but is is not stupid. Stupid humor is crap like "Mr. Woodcock" and "Good Luck Chuck," movies with no real craft to any of their jokes.

"Jessica Alba fell down!!! Ahahahahahaha!"

"He yelled 'sex' really loud!!! Pssshhahahahahaaheheheheeee!"

No. Die.

Knocked Up, on the other hand, is actually pretty clever most of the time. And even the movie's vulgarity isn't done in an over-the-top, simply-for-gross-out way (cite the fat bitch from Good Luck Chuck). It's what I guess you could call 'relevant vulgarity.' Anyway, the movie is extremely funny. Every joke is naturalistic, but not expected. The movie's characters are all convincing and multi-dimensional, and above all likable. Seth Rogan really does make the movie, though. He is hilarious, but he comes off more like a real nice, frank, down-to-Earth guy. Just the kind of guy you'd like to sit down and have a beer with. The kind of guy you'd more than like to get smashed with. The kind of guy you'd really like to have ill advised unprotected sex with. The kind of guy you'd love to raise a bastard child with. Needless to say, he's the reason the movie works.
