Amazon.co.uk Review
In a year that otherwise struggled to deliver where comedies were concerned, Knocked Up proved to be a very welcome treasure trove of laughs. It's from Judd Apatow, the man behind The 40 Year Old Virgin and the excellent TV show Freaks and Geeks, and sits easily as an equal to both. It's also a long-awaited showcase for the talents of Seth Rogen, who proves with some conviction that he can headline a movie. The premise of Knocked Up is simple. Seth Rogen and Kathryn Heigl share, for differing reasons, a one-night stand, and several weeks later, the latter discovers she's pregnant. Given that Rogen's character has been jobless for years, and that Heigl is trying to build a TV career, the two don't prove to be a logical match, yet as the pregnancy progresses, they try valiantly to get to know one another. The narrative itself is quite straightforward, but it's the execution and characters that lift it significantly. Apatow knows how to direct comedy, and with a script peppered with plenty of guffaw-out-loud moments and situations, he wrings very hearty laughs from the material. Plus, while its Rogen and Heigl who power the film, the supporting cast is simply superb, particularly the collection of people that Rogen's character surrounds himself with. It's perhaps guilty of running ten minutes too long, and there's little to surprise in the story itself, yet Knocked Up is nonetheless a terrific, earthy and grounded comedy, with so much to enjoy. It's hard to single out individual moments, and instead it simply seems more appropriate to declare Knocked Up as one of the best, and most rewatchable, comedies of the last few years. Don't miss it.--Simon Brew

 Mindless,un-pc idiotic, but enjoyable enough August 17, 2008
This is a film designed to entertain, the characters are 2 dimensional and unsympathetic, don't interact well and serve only to move the story from one scene to another. That said, it is enjoyable enough and didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. If you want an unplanned pregnancy flick with depth and heart buy Juno. If you just want to laugh, buy this.

likeable characters and one or two very funny moments August 9, 2008
A man gets a woman pregnant on what she thinks is a one night stand,they hardly know each other, but decide to see if they should stay together for the sake of the baby.I would describe this as a film with likeable characters that moves along at a gentle pace with one or two very funny moments but it is generally only mildly amusing.The film is only suitable for people 15 years and older because of strong language and drug use.
 Not "The Forty Year Old Virgin" August 7, 2008
This film is not as funny as the above. However the story moves along at a much more gentler tidier pace and I suppose it really is a romantic comedy as opposed to a skit like "TFYOV". Is it worth having a look at?Hell ya. Is it the funniest, cleverest, most emotional film you will ever see no but still an enjoyable way to pass an evening.
Very funny August 5, 2008

`Knocked Up' stars Seth Rogen as Ben - an immature, out of work lay about who meets Alison (Katherine Heigl) who is a career-driven TV presenter, in a club and a few weeks later Alison finds out that she is pregnant. Although they have nothing in common, the two then try their best to build a relationship and even just get along.
I love some of the other films by the writer of Knocked Up, such as Anchorman and The 40 Year Old Virgin and this is better than them both. From the start it is crude and hilarious. The characters are all as wacky and funny as in the other films and they all gets involved in some truly side-splitting scenarios.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking to just laugh for 2 hours, so as long as you don't mind a bit of offensive comedy then this is for you.
Very funny - not your usual rom-com August 5, 2008
Rom-com's are usually quite a predictable and bland genea of film, but this is an exception. This films show the differences between men and women in a very comical way and the difference forced upon them when pregnancy is added into the mix. The humour in this film is very similar to Ricky Gervais' 'The Office'. If you like that subtle brand of comedy then this should be 'right up your street'. There are fine comedic performances all round from the leading actors and supporting cast. Many issues are poked fun of here; Sex, love, parenthood, relationships, mid-life crisis and men and women in general. This is not, as some fools on here have suggested, a sexist film by any stretch of the imagination ... instead its a comical look at differences between the sexes, the relationships we form and the changes we are forced to make in our life to make relationships work.
Best comedy Ive seen all year.
