Sadly it is the cause of most unwed mothers.Like I said it is not a joke it is a promblem everyone faces that is getting worst by the second.jm

Actually, I was referring to when you equated getting pregnant to "s omeone getting knockout."

Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

I can see why you think it is eye candy.But it is made by a ride at the CA park.To make a story from a ride to me is pretty creative.So far nothing that had happen in that movie I had seen happen in other movies.
That is why I said that the plot is good.This movie abot s omeone getting knockout has happen in alot of movies "Nine Months" "Look who is talking" and alot more.
It is also happening every day in america and everywhere else that I tihnk it is more of a promblem then a joke.Anywho If you go see it enjoy!JM

This movie looks more like a parody of topical issues rather than a promotion. Creative and orginal are Two very different things. Most movies that come out are creative spins on a recycled ideas. The comedy genre is prime example of this. To me comedies dont need to be original, i know i dont look for a story that breaks the mold when i sit down to watch a comedy. I am merely looking for good presentation of an empty story with great delivery of humorous dialogue.

As for Pirates, nothing new really went into the story that the ride diddnt offer. I know many people thought it was original because Theres not many Pirate movies being made. I'll agree that the films have been creative, Silly, childish, but creative. As a movie fan though i diddnt see anything classic or original about them. The movies serve their purpose for being fun ride, nothing more and nothing less. Movies of substance they are not. I dont have problem with this, i like your typical popcorn movie as much as the next guy, i just felt the movies were poorly paced and redundant. This is getting off topic though. I am still wandering what makes you think the pirates movies are classics

I think different.Pirates are very creative.What does KNockup have to offer?It is just another movie that is base on it being funny that this woman is going to have a baby.
How is tht funny with all the teen preg?Is teen Preg.Funny?If so then maybe this m ovie is ok for you.If not you know what I mean.jm

I wasnt trying to insinuate that i thought the concept for this film was orginal.
Its not the the woman getting pregnant that is funny, it is the circumstances and situations used to tell the story that are crafted into being humorous. What is funny about a 40 year old virgin? nothing, but its a stage for a story to be told. Using topical issues serious or not have always been a source for comedy. Many of SNL or other comdey skit shows use serious situations to tell a joke. Lord knows Dave chapelle used very serious and edgy situations and crafted them masterfully into very funny jokes.

Many things can be funny about teen pregnancies, and whats the damn issue for feeling compassion for people that couldnt keep their legs closed or their dicks in their pants all of the sudden. What about you and i who have to pay for their mistakes out of our paychecks?

Maybe some SENSE, but not SENCE.

This brings to question as to whether you have any SENSE in you.

... But it's true.

Not sure what you put at the end there.But whatever!Go see the movie if you want!Anyway I was talking good to that person who argeed with me not mocking them!
Man you guys can't take a insult from saying something nice about a person!jm

Just saw this movie last night and it was EXTREMELY good. Very funny and the story was really good. It's gonna be this year's 40-Year Old Virgin.

It's twice the film the 40-Year Old Virgin is.

Great Movie.
Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd,great duo.

I'll go see this.

After thinking about it and reading a few reviews, I've come to the conclusion that past the juvenile humor (which is still very authentic), this is an intelligent and very human film, as well as being genuinely funny. Good stuff thumbsup

I felt the same way about 40 Year Old Virgin. That movie had heart. I can only imagine that this movie will too.

Ive heard/read nothing but great reviews for this movie which is surprising because Seth dont struck me as a big satr. Will most def check it out.

well being a big star doesn't really affect the quality of a film

The comedy “Knocked Up,” starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl, was surprisingly strong in its debut with $29.3 million, landing it in second place (to Pirates 3). “Knocked Up,” directed by Judd Apatow, played in about 1,500 fewer theaters than “Pirates” but averaged 300 dollars more per theater.

Strong numbers, and had it opened in more theaters could have easily surpassed Pirates this week.

On another note, Seth Rogan is awesome, I loved him in Freaks and Geeks and I hope his star continues to rise because he's hilarious without being over the top.
