This despicable mind control spiritual butchery and cultural car wreck of a movie is termed " a terrific film - one of the year's best, easily " by the Village Voice, and " an instant classic..." by the NY Times, and get this one:
"more explosively funny, more frequently, than nearly any other major studio release in recent memory." said Variety.
Huh?
An 'instant classic'?
A 'terrific film'?
And 'more explosively funny' than any major film in 'recent memory'?
In fact, 'Knocked Up' is the most vile, most despicable rape of what's left of morality and decency...and *boundaries*... in America this viewer can imagine. It is a de facto celebration of the devastation of our young peoples' sensitive, forming minds and hearts, and teaches them that animal
behavior and gross irresponsibility is the NORM...that it's OK...that it's a desirable, trendy, good times lifestyle that counts.
In fact, this beyond vulgar film is emblematic of the depths to which the majority of our younger society has been led...sunken to the bottom of a cesspool of drugs and sex...and drugs and sex. Oh, and 110 decibel 'music', too. Just ask any honest, socially-active teen.
The degradation of women and the mindless, cretinous behavior of the central group of young 'men' in this 'screenplay' sent the message loudly and clearly to the audience: no responsibility, no restraint, no respect, no reverence for common decency and no serious self-control.

Yet, the de-sensitized zombies and mind-controlled dolts in the theater ate it up and screamed with porcine delight.
Each time the script cadence said 'laugh', they howled. Everything is 'funny' now. Especially when the feminine lead goes into the bathroom and farts. Great humour, indeed. Witty, sophisticated and fabulously creative.
Our children have been irrevocably mind-melded by the ghouls who churn out this kind of wretched product...nothing less than a putrid debasement of the values that once put America on top of the planet in setting the example of personal kindness, decent values and social morality.
This kind of moronic, degenerate role-modeling is being used and misused by millions of young people trying to figure out the mess they are living in. Pathetically, this film and its brethren will do nothing to aid in that process. Instead, this kind of garbage will be conveniently employed by impressionable and malformed youth to justify and mitigate their failure to achieve...or even to strive for...much of anything in life beyond wage slavery. And today's staggering *peer group pressure* makes it a perfect partner to mind control/influencing films like this.
Our young people will never know the gentleness, kindness, care and civility of the times in which American culture achieved its zenith. Those days are gone. Replaced by the new, despicable baseline behavior so luridly splayed across the screen.
As a footnote, the editing was pathetic... including the three-times disappearing seat belt of one of the two little girls in the back seat of the car in the opening minutes of the film. What a joke.
And the woman who played the foul-mouthed, quasi-unfaithful wretch of an older sister was so overly made-up, she made the Stepford Wives look like paupers. One scene has her sitting in her fluffy bed in pajamas, painted up like a halloween mask, wearing at least a pound of lip gloss and with every little strand of hair, curled and locked into perfect precision. Absurd.
This incredibly destructive, debasing 'film' is, of course, reflective of what America has become. It IS the new NORM. The only question remaining is, one supposes, how much lower can it go? [/B]
Pathetic.
