Sitting in the Aisle

It's kinda like getting an e-mail from John about what movie he just saw, well, kinda, sorta.

Knocked Up (Film)

I admit I don't always get comedies. I don't always know if I just have a particular taste or if the movie itself is just no good. Take this one. I liked the director's previous works: Freaks and Geeks and The 40-year-old Virgin. This one I just thought was just okay. There are a lot of relationship jokes and pregnant women jokes that I felt fell a little flat. The best moment I liked was when a pregnant woman and her sister are trying to get into a club. In the past they were hot enough to get in, but not this time. The back and forth between the older sister and the bouncer was unexpectedly real and tender. Something I wished the movie had more of. I give this rib tickler a C.
