Saw some really good movies over the weekend. Knocked Up is a hilarious, poignant and refreshing look at the rigors of courtship and child-rearing, with a sometimes raunchy, always witty script that is ably acted and directed. Ben Stone is a 23-year-old slacker,whereas slightly older Alison Scott is responsible and career-minded. One night, Alison and Ben find themselves at the same club, have a one night fling which leads into a misinterpretation of the phrase “just do it already“, but when the alcohol wears off, they quickly learn they have little in common. Eight weeks later, however, Alison discovers that she is pregnant and contacts Ben, who says he will be there to support Alison having the baby. The odd couple’s efforts to develop a relationship include a marriage proposal from Ben… watch the movie to know what happens next. Really funny movie. Rated prety high in Rotten Tomatoes.
