The 313 Second Movie Review: "Knocked Up"

Welcome back one and all to the 313 Second Movie Review. As a proud member of CSSA, there is only two words that truly horrify me. "I'm pregnant." True enough, that's what made me carefully interested in the movie "Knocked Up." The film stars Seth Rogen as Ben Stone, Katherine Heigl as Alison Scott, Paul Rudd as Pete, Leslie Mann as Debbie, Jay Baruchel as Jay, Jonah Hill as Jonah, Jason Segel as Jason, and Martin Starr as Martin. As you can quite easily imagine, we have two very distinctive main characters. First, you got Ben, a stoner slacker who's idea of making cash with his roommates is to launch a porn site. Wow, this is the story of Brandon Mars! One the other end, you got Alison, an assistant producer at the E! Entertainment Network. Oh, scratch that, she just got promoted to on-air talent! Wahoo! Alison and her sister Debbie go out for a good time at a club. So do Ben and his buddies, Jay, Jonah, Jason, and Martin. Alison and Ben meet up. They both get waaaay too tipsy for their own good. They undress (Ben: You're way prettier than I am). They have sex. Morning comes. They seperate. End? *buzz* In a matter of of weeks, Alison learns she been *dramatic pause* *dramatic pause* KNOCKED UP! For the sake of the baby, they decide to stick together. But as Alison sees Ben's friends, and Ben sees how Debbie almost has Pete wrapped around her finger, they start to fear this whole stay with the baby thing. Well, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be the most quoated movie of the year. "You better have flushed your pubs down the toilet. "I took a s**t there a while back, and when I looked down, my s**t looked like a stuffed animal." Sorry if I just blinded you. But this movie is full of "I can't believe they just said that" moments. But the best part is is that this movie doesn't fake it. An out-of-wedlock child can be difficult to prepare for, and it takes much emotional stress. Not to mention the birth was not fake, so be prepared for health class all over again. Overall, I think this will be the sleeper hit of 2007. Oh, Katherine, may I please cover the ground to my bedroom with rose petals over which your gorgeous legs will walk?

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Mastodon "Colony Of Birchmen"
