Allison Scott is an up-and-coming entertainment journalist whose 24-year-old life is on the fast track. But it gets seriously derailed when a drunken one-nighter with slacker Ben Stone results in an unwanted pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going it alone or getting to know the baby's father, Allison decides to give the lovable doof a chance.

Judd Apatow is simply put a comedic god and genius. In a Hollywood Comedy landscape that is littered with trash from Deuce Bigalo to Epic Movie that pretty much takes on the assumption that most movie goers are either 13 year old boys or compete and total morons Judd Apatow delivers movies that are actually funny and adult geared. I mean most comedies prey on our years as immature teenagers to try and find things to make us laugh but the problem is we are no longer immature teenagers and we just don’t find those jokes funny anymore and haven’t since we were immature teenagers. But Judd goes for more serious subject material blanked it comedy like the fear a one night stand could turn into a life changing event. He deals with the fears that many of us as adults might have or have had and he wraps them up in a comedy that is downright silly and over the top for the most part.

Judd Apatow isn’t perfect at not going for comedy below the belt, but instead of concentrating one pee and poo jokes that we no longer funny he finds some of those elements of our teenage years that we might still find funny and look back at with nostalgia. Seth Rogen is the poster child for a generation gone wrong, smoking weed and watching movies all day looking for nudity in the hopes of starting a porn website devoted to such. And somehow this loveable loser manages to sleep with a beautiful woman and from that point on let the hilarity ensue. It’s two different worlds colliding, its two different people trying to find something in common because of one drunken night, its Seth Rogen trying to grow up and take responsibility for a life gone awry. And its utterly silly, completely hilarious, downright gross at times but still funny at the same time.

Judd Apatow takes the fantasy of everyone who has been on the outside looking in, a element quite common to movies but instead of giving it the regular twist where the good guy wins the girl because he’s the good guy Rogen wins the girl because he got her drunk and impregnated her. The loveable loser is still the loveable loser and Heigl gets pass the loser part she does find out that Rogen has something to offer but not before everything manages to blow up in comedic genius.

Seth Rogen might be the funny man that Hollywood has been missing ever since loveable losers like Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey got old and decided they would rather make dramas than comedies. A decade ago the role of Knocked up might have gone to them but could see either Sandler or Carrey in this role, the answer is no because that ship has sailed and I am happy with them making the dramas rather than the poor comedies they have been making the last few years. And Seth Rogen steals the show, he is funny, he is outrageous and he makes you believe that Hollywood can make a comedy once more. Katherine Hiegl is nice on the eyes and when she goes into full pregnancy emotional psycho mode she definitely adds to the movie and does what Rogen could not have done himself. Sure there isn’t much chemistry between Rogen and Heigl but that’s kind of the point and you won’t care as you are holding your sides from laughing to hard.
