Not so funny!

Knocked Up (2007)

I saw this film on a whim. I didnt know any actor, any body related to the movie or anything. But the title was pretty self explainatory. I wasn't even paying much attention the first half hour. Partly because the story wasn't progressive and partly because of the multitasking (telephone, internet and nagging parents) But then the story picked up, and it wasn't that bad.

This is not an in-your-face comedy. It is witty at times, and the spontaneity, weirdness and originality of the conversations is very impressive. Ben Stone's character carries the movie on his back with his comic timing. The chic from Grey's Anatomy (the one who always keeps crying) is the girl who gets knocked up and eventually falls in love with the internet geek (whose job is to post nude videos from famous movies on a non-profitable website!) Mike, from Friends, (who marries Pheobe) also plays a funny part. His conversation with Ben about "the five chairs" is the cornerstone of the film.

I think this movie is funny for people who don't like obvious comedy.
