I don't think I liked it as much as other people. It was funny. Sure. Maybe it's Katherine Heigl's face.
Arguably the funniest comedy of 2007. Way better than Superlame (Superbad). The chemistry between Rogen & his friends is what makes this movie.

The chemistry between Rogen & his friends is what makes this movie. Unfortunately like every Appatow movie, Knocked Up is too long & the sappy love story takes over towards the end. It seems in his last 2 movies that he just threw in a part for Leslie Mann. If you're going to do that Judd, can you give her a funny role like in 40 Year Old Virgin?? She's still a good actress. Great cast altogether. I loved most of the characters.
After seeing Juno it was nicer to see a more comical approach to pregnancy rather than the troubling side. Not saying this film didn't have that but this was more joking about everything that Juno could be.
This is the coolest comedy flic i have ever seen!! vry addictive movie !! Gr8 cast , good direction and screenplay !! Oh man Katherine Hiegl is vry hot :)
This movie should be at least a 4 star, the story is good, poignant, funny, and with a good moral lesson...but Judd Apatow and friends can't seem to make a PG or PG-13 movie.

It's so full of expletives and sex/sex talk, that it's a very hard R. Which is sad, because Apatow and Seth Rogen made perfectly good, very funny stuff back when they did Freaks & Geeks.
Can't believe I sat next to my mother in the theater for this movie! That said, she laughed almost as hard as I did through the whole thing.
I just don't love it and I prob laughed once the entire movie and I can't even recall when. this is such a disappointment. I have thought it maybe as funny as 40 year old virgin...

Very funny for an hour, Judd Apatow's script and direction are finally mugged by a gang worse than any of these. The feelgood moralists, who terrorise all parts of Tinseltown.full review
Judd Apatow's Knocked Up may have a provocative title, but just like a TV sitcom that placates an audience's apprehension about the real world, it neither titillates nor challenges.full review
A virtual cinematic guide to pop culture circa 2007. How it all plays 10 years from now doesn't really matter because we guarantee you will be quoting lines from this movie for a long time to come.full review
Hilarious from moment to moment, but leaving behind both a warm glow and a sting. This is a picture that refuses to fetishize either the ability to conceive or the significance of our place in the universe once we've done so.full review
What makes the movie so winning are its endearing and relatable characters who spout believable dialogue and amusing banter, steeped in clever pop-culture references and sharp observations of human nature.full review
While Apatow's movie isn't perfect, it's still a fumbling and funny valentine to the shock of pregnancy, the reality of love and the chaos of all that comes after.full review
It may be a bit, um, premature to say so, but Judd Apatow's Knocked Up strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment.
If you want to hate on Judd Apatow's Knocked Up -- and the anti-crowd-pleaser contingent will surely ding it -- then get ready to be drowned out by the sound of laughter from the rest of us.full review
The likelihood of [director Judd] Apatow turning into Chris Columbus or Ron Howard seems refreshingly slight.full review
Knocked Up feels very now. The banter is bruisingly funny, the characters brilliantly childish, the portrait of our culture's narrowing gap between children and their elders hysterical -- in all senses.full review
