Luke warm comedy - Knocked Up review by Tim from London
This is an overly long but not completely unfunny film that attempts to mesh together the rom-com and the 'gross out male humour' genres. There are some genuinely funny moments - especially where the girls try to get into a nightclub and meet a sensitive doorman who admits he really hates his job. However the film is let down by poor lead actors who, may be funny individually, fail to generate any on screen chemistry - and a tendency to try and disgiuse this by relying too much on crude adolescent humour at moments when it wasn't needed.

A not "hilarious" hit comedy. - Knocked Up review by CP Customer
Beware of claims made in the promotional spiel. a not particularly funny, imaginative or sensitive movie. The lead male looks unerringly like a young Rory McGrath, sadly the wit and timing of Rory is totally absent. The script is lame and resorts to loud repetative swearing whenever a 'crisis' occurs. Save your money for a genuine comedy.

A pleasant suprise! - Knocked Up review by CP Customer
I did not enjoy the 40 Year Old Virgin, all in all, I am not a fan of mainstream comedy, however, this was a pleasant surprise. Although it did contain crude comedy, the film also had a moral and it did not turn into the average idiot teen comedy that it so easily could have done. The actors are all comedy experts who know how to make an audience laugh. I do not recommend this film for someone wanting a simple rom-com as this has more to offer, on the other hand do not expect too much sentimentality or a complex romantic plot, it is a simple and clever comedy. Overall it is a good mix of guys comedy with the added sweetness of female humour all in all add up to an offbeat and interesting blend of humour and emotions.
