Neither here nor there. Another one of those comedies that are good for when there's nothing else on
Alice
says
This was a delightfully funny, feel good fantasy. A great escape movie.
KDSJ
says
Worst movie ever ... don't bother.
Glynda
says
Not really entertaining
Janette
says
My hubby and I quite enjoyed it - more than we expected.
Jodie
says
boring peice of rubbish that drove me to a slumber- don't bother
Elibby
says
Surprisingly sweet and charming. It was refreshing to see neither partner of relationships blamed solely for problems, which is rare in movies.
Sandra
says
Was OK
Julie
says
girly flick enjoyed it nice and light.
K
says
Okay, but mostly I was dissapointed with the characters. They all seemed to be immature and selfish. There wasn't much growth and buggar all story. I'm not a Seth Rogan fan - he's a bit grubby.
Kelly
says
This film had the odd comic moment, but was too long and basically unbelievable. The pairing of Catherine Heigl with the hairy boy-ape lacked credibility. Run Catherine run.
FED UP
says
Unbelievable (would Katherine Heigl REALLY hook up with an unattractive moron?), idiotic (the lines are totally banal and sex-obsessed) and - most unforgivable of all - UNFUNNY. I don't knwo if it improved, but I turned it off after 20 minutes without a smile, let alone a laugh.
Gayle
says
Whilst there were some funny moments, and I do like Katherine Heigel. I didn't watch to the end, as I couldn't stand the huge amounts of unneccessary swearing throughout. Surprised Katherine Heigel would take a part in such a poor movie to be honest.
Tania
says
Found it irritating and unnecessarily crude.
Stacey B.
says
Freaking hilarious... You're all getting pink-eye for this!!
Trish M.
says
This was okay, some funny parts and great minor characters. Too much swearing for me.
Veronica
says
There was a little bit too much unnecessary swearing in this for me...... but maybe that's what this generation is like these days. Nice ending though.
Zakia S.
says
a light film which is enjoyable.
K. S.
says
When it suggests 'strong coarse language' it really means it. Totally over the top with the swearing and not necessary. Katherine Heigl does a good job and you can see her acting skills coming through in the early days, but I would have survived fine w/out seeing this.
Ebby
says
This is a light hearted, funny movie. Laughed out loud. Very enjoyable, predictable, but still fun
Sam L.
says
Good Film. Pretty funny. Worth seeing. :)
Amanda
says
Pretty unrealistic movie. Would someone like her really hook up with someone like him? His character and his friends annoyed me. Not a movie I would reccommend.
christobel
says
Possibly one of the funniest movies this year!
Philomena
says
Knocked Up I thought this movie was quite silly with a very large amount of a needed swearing. So that made me not even finish watching it. Even though it is meant for younger people watcg out for the swearing before you hire.
J
says
Utterly ridiculous, gross rubbish. Every second word begins with "f". I cannot believe the beautiful and talented Katherine Heigel was desperate enough to take on this piece of rubbish.
Linda
says
Very funny movie, wasnt expecting her to get together with him, but im glad they worked through there differences. Would watch again with a friend.
Barbara
says
Sad and funny with lots of laughs.
Tania B.
says
Enjoyed this movie, quite funny
Jennifer
says
Very disappointing. One half-hearted laugh through the entire movie. Had potential, but didn't really go anywhere with it.
Tracy
says
Both better and worse than I expected - I liked the characters, especially some of the supporting cast, and Katherine Heigl has a future on the big screen, but I found the story a bit more cliched than I expected. Overall, an enjoyable lightweight movie.
Anne D.
says
absolutely one of the worst movies I have seen - a real clanger and totally unbelievable - give it a wide berth
Catherine M.
says
What crap, I watched for 20 minutes then put it back the envelope and sent it back! Don't waste your time.
Rachel
says
this is a truly rotten film. i thought it could be remotely amusing, light hearted, in the spirit of old school/animal house - however the dialogue is lacking and intelligence, the explicit language is appallingly unnecessary, and the story, truly unbelievable. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I didn't even get to the end of this waste of time.
Kathryn
says
Not an awful movie, but it wasn't all that good either. I did find certain parts funny. I thought it was too unrealistic in relation to the relationship that develops. However I found a few parts hilarious.
Leah
says
This movie is hilarious, i watched it twice in a row
Gay B.
says
Not my cup of tea
Nikita
says
This is film that should never have worked, but somehow it does - I think only because the leads and other actors are so good they manage to pull off the comedy that should never have been made, and yes it is pretty hilarious.
I give it 31/2, well I would if I could get the star thingy up there to do a half...
Angela
says
Very good
Emma R.
says
Hilarious, although kind of sad and serious at times too - how do they do that??? "And afterwards... tighten!" Recommended for a chilled time when you feel like a funny.
Sunia V.
says
Definately one to watch. Great mix of different characters all coming together to make an awesome movie.
Kate
says
Absolutely loved it, could relate to so many real life situations!
Pelsi_1066
says
Surprisingly good, not the immature comedy it might appear to be.
Pauline
says
Very funny, much better than I was expecting.
Jason
says
Even though tjis is bordering on the chick flick side well worth the watch
Scott P.
says
This was quite a good movie, better than I expected. The movie gets better as it goes along and the characters tend to grow on you. Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl wer definately the standouts in a bunch of good acting performances by al involved.
Jodie
says
Good light hearted movie. Made me feel happy. Story of excepting peoples faults!!!!
Justin K.
says
Very disappointing and not funny. Oh, except during the birth!
stimpy
says
What's funny? I would say this is typical...
Wayne W.
says
Better than I was expecting from this genre. The situation in the first instance is quite believable but the main character's involvement with each other later on is far less so. Still, entertaining enough and not the totally silly tripe I was anticipating.
Maria C.
says
Definitely not my type of movie.
Sarah
says
I really liked it and didnt expect the ending. Katherine Heigl was great in the movie.
Joanne
says
A semi mature teen flick. A few good laughs and one liners. Some great argument scenes but ultimately the film relies a little too much on swearing - rather then wit. However if your into pot, fart and abortion jokes this film is a winner.
Sadie
says
What can I say???? This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The concept for the film was quite good and had potential to be a humourous and enjoyable film.....but unfortunately the dialogue and character develoment were aweful and left em looking at my watch wondering when the torture was going end. This is an insult to any normal person's intelligence....I actually felt dumber as a result of watching this movie :(
Donna
says
I love this movie - this is one of my favourites - and it could happen in real life. I could see this movie over and over again - great one.
Christine E.
says
Exceeded my expectations. Hilarious in a way that is by turns witty, dry, realistic, silly or gross-out. Touching and romantic, while avoiding rom-com cliches. Surprising in many ways. Enjoyable after many viewings.
Christopher B.
says
Can't seem to see the chemistry between the leads for this movie... not my type of humour and found the movie seem to over used bad language just for the sake of it ...
Trish T.
says
Quite predictable but I still enjoyed quite a few laughs along the way.
Kathy R.
says
hilarious movie. really enjoyed it.
Jenny F.
says
NOT our cup of tea. I'm not into bad language. We turned it of. Jenny F
Len F.
says
very funny totally enjoyed
Sandra B.
says
Really enjoyable movie - as a pair they seem poles apart but they actually make for a nice couple in the end. Worth a look. Quite good fun.
Tania P.
says
There were some laughs, but not as funny as I expected. I wouldn't bother renting this one. Wait until it's on TV.
Ian G.
says
Second viewing was better. Some funny scenes....Katherine Heigl was terrific in the birth scene.
Sean D.
says
Some hilarious moments in this movie even though at times the story line was rather far fetched and a little too idyllic. A great movie overall though with some quality gags
Sheree G.
says
Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. A well-acted romantic comedy.
Naida C.
says
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I found the over use of colourful language a bit of a bore. I reasonable storyline, Heigl was good though.
Tamara R.
says
Having recently had my 1st baby, this was suprisingly true to life in places. Refreshing had some depth to the comedy overtones. More than I expected.
Patricia J.
says
Loved it!! Absolutely hilarious. Every single character added their own little something to the film. Seth Rogan is a genius. One to watch over and over!
Tracy F.
says
Very funny, with a story to tell the younger generation about unsafe sex, worth watching.
Judy K.
says
Funny as. But a bit unbelievable at times.
Judy H.
says
Funny, light hearted, worth watching
Nigel W.
says
Unlike the 40 Year Old Virgin which seemed to have some grounding in reality, this effort comes across as more of a yobbo fantasy. Has some amusing moments but is otherwise predictable.
Julie D.
says
Light entertainment, if you can get past the horrid male lead, unlikable characters and filthy language.
Karen P.
says
Awesome movie. So not what I expected. It made me laugh out loud on numerous occassions!
Teshia W.
says
Hillarious!
Jay R.
says
hilarious movie loved every bit of it!!
Carol M.
says
I couldn't watch it beyond about 15 minutes. It just seemd like fomulaic fratboy rubbish ...again. All that's just a bit tired now.
Rachel M.
says
I didn't like this at all. It was really boring. I kept waiting for the humor. There are many better movies than this one.
Nicole W.
says
Not as funny as everyone says! Actually quite crude and a lot of swearing. Occassionally you get a laugh
Gerd H.
says
Movie-making by ticking the boxes. Good gags. Plenty of laughs. Characters like people you know. Copious use of the f-word. Sex, but nothing explicit. A bit of seriousness. Happy ending. But does it all gel as a whole? No. Quite disappointing and tedious, in fact.
Bill
says
Predictable script. Some good performances but generally a little disappointing. The slob-factor of the males was a bit embarassing. Even as a bachelor I wasn't quite as overtly crude! A little less in-your-face crudity and a bit more subtlety would have made it a lot more enjoyable
Tracey R.
says
Are they kidding. My teenage daughter enjoyed the film but i am still trying to gind a laugh
Judy M.
says
Overall a pretty stupid movie..very lightweight.
Colin Y.
says
Two big thumbs up ! Very funny, lots of heart and very likeable characters.
Stuart H.
says
Some funny spots but too long for a comedy as slowed in places. Okay!
Terence B.
says
Kirk P.
says
Rudolf E.
says
Once you can get over this unlikely pairing, you'll find this a really good movie.
The performance of all the actors was great. Although the storyline was predictable, you actually wanted see them happy.
Jessica H.
says
A hilarious take on pregnancy and childbirth with some fuzzy moments thrown in. Very funny!!!
Dawn C.
says
A big disappointment. Wanted a good laugh, unfortunately only got a couple. Wouldn't bother with this one
Mark B.
says
Drama or comedy, the movie nearly gets both but seems to miss them equally as well. It has some humerous moments, some touching moments, but on the whole seems confused. It's cynicism about relationships is juxtaposed with an unrealistic optimism about matches that simply aren't believable. Individual performances were good, I just felt the script missed the mark but was close to being really good.
Stephen M.
says
Very funny look at relationships complicated by pregnancy brought together in unusual circumstances but eventually work.
Rhys F.
says
Very slow, didn't really get going at all. Bit of a yawn really.
Vikkie T.
says
It's funny, but it's true.
A lighthearted look at how it can work if you put your mind to it.
Michelle R.
says
Darren M.
says
This is a beauty!Many emotions at play here.It's reality and this movie tells it like it is.A word of warning, this one is not to be watched with children around!Strictly mature viewing.
Travis R.
says
Good movie if your about to have a baby. Some good laughs and good characters. A nice feel good flick. Rate for a few laughs and a few tears for the ladies.
Danielle F.
says
Loved it! Very funny with lots of real-life scenarios.
Greg P.
says
Hilarious. We recently had a baby so it hit all the right notes!!
Barbara S.
says
Julia B.
says
I enjoyed this movie. Had a few good laughs but also typical hollywood dribble
JT
says
Very predictable and sickly hollywood sweet.
The only thing that was funny was the interaction between the Alison and the bitchy producer.
Otherwise, stay away.
Digga
says
Don't be fooled like I was, it is just a romance. All the funny bits are in the trailer. And you are not spared the whole process of birth - urgh!
Anne H.
says
Michael B.
says
I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Not my type of crude humour so we turned it off after 20 minutes. Don't borrow it unless you are ready to have plenty of gutter humour.
Leigh K.
says
Elizabeth N.
says
A funny lighthearted look at society, relationships and impending parenthood. One of the funniest movies I've seen for a while.
Carly J.
says
Charlie P.

Elizabeth T.

Fantastic! I was expecting a run-of-the-mill cheesy romantic comedy, but this movie really went beyond that. It was hilarious, clever and quite touching.
Sangita P.
says
Michael O.
says
Penelope
says
This movie was funny & sweet. The ending turned out great for everyone like a comedy does.
Laurie M.
says
Not the comedy I expected but still an OK movie
Kerrie M.
says
A drawn out story line. A few good laughs but overall disappointing.
Jeff D.
says
quite a substantial storyline and Katherine Heigl nailed her performance amidst a cast of funny jewish boys. What a film! watch it... again and again.
Carrley M.
says
I'm writing this on behalf of my hubby! I love this movie. Not at all what I expected. It's hilarious, touching, true to life - I'd watch it over and over. I actually cried when the baby was born. Katherine Heigl is a really great comic actress and Seth Rogen is the most unlikely leading man, but I even found him a little cute by the end of the movie!
Sandra S.
says
Excellent. Brought back memories of watching drunken boys! Although meant to be a comedy, and absolutely was, there were also a lot of real life moments in there. Highly recommended.
William M.
says
Aesha M.
says
A bit rude, but a great plot
Leanne J.
says
I really enjoyed this movie it was good
Peter M.
says
very funny
Piya A.
says
Surprisingly good .....and funny.
Roxanne R.
says
Very funny! If you don't like swearing, don't get it!
Maree K.
says
easy watching chick flick
Phill D.
says
Alfred S.
says
I've got to admit it was quite funny in parts but the basic premise that a stunner like Katherine Heigl would be remotely interested in a drop-kick like Seth Rogen is totally unbelievable.
Alisha B.
says
excellent
Joanne H.
says
The beginning was a bit much it terms of lauguage and topic of discussion but it seemed to slow down a bit as the movie went on. Some good laughs.
Sarah W.
says
Very funny but a few liberties taken with the truth - as always in comedies.
Vivien N.
says
This was the most crudest movie I've seen. The constant drug references and sexual references is appalling! Definitely not a movie to recommend to anyone and definitely not one for teenagers to watch.
Erica M.
says
Wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Kathryn Heigl was great but I thought a lot of the bad language was unnecessary.
Cettina C.
says
I expected a lot better out of this one after hearing good comments from others. Unfortunately, I found the movie disappointing. Overall, a shallow movie, from the characters, to the storyline, and of course to the scenes.
Daniel D.
says
Not as good as Superbad, but still good.
Probably less of a hilarious romp as more of a funny in parts romance.
Timothy O.
says
It was simply not funny. A contrived and trivial script. Acting was pathetic.

Paul R.

not bad but a bit too long
Crista N.

Melissa M.

Kathy W.

Jane A.

Great movie - having just had a baby I can say the birth scene was pretty real!
Sherrie J.
says
very fun movie, good laugh, great characters. worth a watch for sure
Michael R.
says
Great script. The dialogue is hilarious. Funny, genuine and unique film.
John S.
says
Clever humour, let down by excessive swearing. If you can handle the "f" word ever sentence, you're in for a treat.
William D.
says
Not what I thought it was going to be The Language was way over the Top
Steve A.
says
Lisa T.
says
ha ha ha very funny - great movie for a girls night in
Cathy K.
says
It was pretty funny
Deb U.
says
was a predictable movie didn't really find it that good.
Paul G.
says
Enjoyed this movie but its no where near as funny as "Superbad". Made by the same people and you can tell. Get them both out and laugh all night.
Belinda W.
says
knocked up is a feel good movie that's show's what a lot of couples go through when they ind themselves in a place they didn't want to really be in.it takes you down one path only to turn around towards the end..more of a chick's movie I think than a guy's I think.Good movie
Michelle W.
says
This was an hilarious film which I really enjoyed!
Katherine R.
says
The premise of the movie was OK, but I was looking for lighthearted fun. The swearing in the film was gratuitous rather than funny and I switched off before the end.
Steve D.
says
Funny, Very funny but in a real world it is probaly very true. Well worth a watch
Elizabeth D.
says
Kelly T.
says
A good film, won't be one of my favourites, but it is funny in places.
Michele G.
says
Funny in parts and worth watching. Not one for your grandmonther though.
Lisa R.
says
Very funny but a bit crude in places. Feel good ending.
ka-tet
says
Has a lot of heart, I don't think there is anyone who hasn't felt they have scored out of their league. What keeps the heart beating is that most people would find a familiarity with one or more of the central characters. Treated with good humour and honest crudity.
Cheryl T.
says
funyy -can relate to so much of it
Jane K.
says
I had been told this film was destined to be a classic comedy, but apart from a few smiles - it just didn't live up to the hype. I was bored by it.
Peng G.
says
Melissa C.
says
Steven N.
says
Could have been a reasonable movie but too disgusting for me.
Michael C.
says
Damien L.
says
A nice story with a some good laughs.
Aaron F.
says
Funny movie, a nice follow up to the very funny comedy 40 year old virgin. Similiar humour and gags this definitely a movie worth viewing for a laugh or two.
Julie R.
says
Jo-Ann W.
says
First viewing. I didnt like it. But second time I found it funnier. Third time even better.
Rebecca A.
says
Mara R.
says
Found the behaviuor of the male 'friends' very crude and depressing. The concept of a women continuing with a 'one night stand' pregnancy was completely unbelievable.
Scott M.
says
A little long but I enjoyed it.
RoyF
says
this is just a great movie, had me cracking all the way through this movie all the actors were so funny nealy every scene was funny, this movie is a must own.
Anthony W.
says
While superficially it may appear like a post adolescent American Pie it does have some great comic scenes that women will laugh at too...
Not amovie for anyone who is about to give birth though.
Rhoda J.
says
I thought this movie was a lot of fun. The characters were well developed and likeable. The storyline was predictable, but enjoyable.
Paul G.
says
Okay movie, had some very funny movies but seemed a little long to me.
Jenni M.
says
Not as funny as I expected given the reviews and the hype
Catherine R.
says
Marie F.
says
It started well, then fell flat in the middle and I didn't really get back into it. The end was predictable.
Rose V.
says
This was a really good movie would recommend to anyone
Louise S.
says
Better than I expected...well worth watching...didnt think it was going to be any near as good as it was...loved it...
Rachel C.
says
Knocked up was a funny witty movie and full of laughs a very realistic look into giving birth and one night stands also had a lot of memories with the group of boys and the habbits.
Michelle S.
says
Jennifer S.
says
Didn't even finish watching it.
Raymond M.
says
Such a funny movie. Just goes to show that one little mistake can change so many lives. Recommended viewing.
Ana R.
says
it had its moments
Anthony R.
says
Endearing, ......Unlikely but, nevertheless, a surprisingly pleasant and funny film....gross attimes
Naomi F.
says
Eleesa
says
Genuinely funny, and nowhere near as formulaic as so many American comedies out at the moment. Definitely worth watching.
Joahla
says
When I saw the TV trailer for this movie months ago, I thought it hilariously funny. But now having seen the movie, I think it a damn cheek to have it listed as a Comedy under Genre. It is pure drama nothing more!
Brian M.
says
This could have been great. Good performances, interesting situations. However the script had too much bad language for my taste. I could accept that the lazy layabouts would talk as they did, but the georgeous leading lady should only have used the bad language during labour. It would, then, have been hilarious. Recommended for boozy bucks night,, maybe.
Jo H.
says
Not bad, pretty mild and predictable.
But ok for a look.
Casey D.
says
i thought it was just as good as it was hyped up to be which is rare take particular note of the scene where a child explains where she thinks baby's come from
Bernadette K.
says
OK, WATCHABLE BUT THE BEN CHARACTER WAS ABIT OVER THE TOP.
Amanda O.
says
Good movie, although I doubt a good looking career women would end up with a looser no matter how many children she had to him!
Andrew H.
says
I agree with a lot of the professional reviewers - the actual story is pretty bland, it's the random moments of hilarity and the comments made by the characters that make this a really good film.
Clare B.
says
Nicole F.
says
thought it would be funnier, quite a few unneccessary scenes that seemed to go no where.
Alison M.
says
Brett H.
says
Cliiford G.
says
A great comedy anyone can relate to this story.
Colin R.
says
After seeing the previews I had an idea of what to expect and I got exactly what I expected. Plenty of laughs (sometimes pretty crass) with a story of love thrown in for good measure. Well worth watching.
Karl B.
says
Sharon W.
says
ok storyline but quite crude.
Okto F.
says
I thought it's going to be a funnier movie.
Luisa E.
says
better than expected.
James F.
says
surprisingly dark humour in places, but diluted by typical Hollywood pap occasionally. Worth watching mind.
Matthew B.
says
Funny. Entertaining. A good movie.
W B O.
says
Pretty enjoyable and had more substance than I expected. Definitely worth a look.
