Knocked Up - UNRATED

Judd Apatow's Knocked Up is receiving far better reviews than any of the big sequels that were released in May. In fact, A.O. Scott in the New York Times calls it "an instant classic." He writes: "The wonder of Knocked Up is that it never scolds or sneers. It is sharp but not mean, sweet but not soft, and for all its rowdy obscenity it rarely feels coarse or crude. What it does feel is honest: about love, about sex, and above all about the built-in discrepancies between what men and women expect from each other and what they are likely to get." Joe Morgenstern's review in the Wall Street Journal is filled with equal acclaim: "Judd Apatow's high-density, high-intensity comedy of bad (and good) manners is a cause for celebration -- the laugh lines are smart, and they come faster than you can process them. For anyone concerned about the state of mainstream films, this is also an occasion for some wonderment -- at Mr. Apatow's gift for mating the crowd-pleasing raunchiness with a generous spirit, genuine sweetness, uncommon delicacy, zestful social criticism and a moral dimension that provides substance and meaning without ever getting in the way," Morgenstern comments. Claudia Puig in USA Today calls Apatow "the new king of comedy" and calls the movie "a perfectly tuned romantic comedy that is consistently funny, whether reveling in bawdiness or laying bare its soul." Kyle Smith in the New York Post describes it as "a brilliant comedy disguised as a dumb one." And Michael Booth predicts in the Denver Post: "I doubt you'll see a funnier movie this summer than Knocked Up."

so bad we could't even watch the end of it.
