Last night I watched Knocked Up on television. I had seen Knocked Up on a couple of previous occasions and liked the movie. However, I always considered the film a typical Seth Rogen movie. I think of a typical Seth Rogen movie as a film that is funny but has no deep message. After watching Knocked Up last night I realized the movie does have a strong message viewers should take with them.
Knocked Up stars Seth Rogen as Ben Stone, a man whose life consists of smoking pot and watching nude scenes in movies. The reality of life begins to set in for Ben Stone after a one night stand winds up making him an expecting father. The movie focuses around the odd couple of Ben Stone and Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) and Alison’s sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann) and her husband Pete (Paul Rudd).
Through these two couples, Judd Apatow, the director of Knocked Up, delivers a valuable lesson- for a relationship to work you need to accept your partner for who he or she is. Debbie “trains” Pete to act the way she wants him to. As a result they have a troubled marriage. Ben and Alison are struggling to not end up like Debbie and Pete. The couple attempts to accept and love each other for who each one is and not for who they want the other to be.
Overall if you like comedies or battle of the sexes films you will enjoy Knocked Up.
