X-Ray Cat Loves Judd Apatow's KNOCKED UP!! Reviewed 10 Months Early!!

Um... by Sean38	Oct 16th, 2006 09:40:02 AM
...that's the Fifth Dimension, not Earth, Wind and Fire. And glad to hear this movie rocks. I, too, am an unapologetic Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen fanboy.
I'll pop the cherry... FIRST! by BeeDub	Oct 16th, 2006 09:41:18 AM
Heh.
Yeah, that didn't sound like a plant at all by Garbageman33	Oct 16th, 2006 09:41:24 AM
I mean, I'm sure it's worthy of Oscar consideration. No doubt. And I've been saying for years that Seth Rogen is the next Sean Penn. But with a sense of humor.
august 2007? damnnnn by Buzzsawlenny	Oct 16th, 2006 09:49:14 AM
thats a long time to wait for a comedy..i too did rogen and apatow thought undeclared was cancelled way too early and virgin was great thought the unedited version was not as good as the theatrical release

Plants don't grow very well in winter. This should have been potted next spring.
Heigle by Poacher	Oct 16th, 2006 10:09:02 AM
I think it's supposed to be a one night stand...a bit more believable. The important question is, does she show her booblies?
????????????????????? by jhohler	Oct 16th, 2006 10:11:52 AM
OK, so this guy likes it. Now, can you tell me what the fuck its about???
one of my most anticipated 2007 movies by waggy	Oct 16th, 2006 10:18:34 AM
judd apatow is this generation's woody allen. and i totally agree with his comments about the oscars. a film like annie hall wouldn't see so much as a nomination today.
It's about... by Sean38	Oct 16th, 2006 10:18:42 AM
...a guy (Seth Rogen) who goes out on a date with a girl (Katherine Heigle) and gets her "knocked up" on the first date.
I must say... by VanLingoMungo	Oct 16th, 2006 10:21:41 AM
I've never accused anybody of being a plant, but that review sounds a bit plantastic to me. Just a little too clever by half. Doesn't matter, movie sounds good anyway.
I saw BORAT... It was hilarious... by stlfilmwire	Oct 16th, 2006 10:21:53 AM
There u go.
Yeah, not a lot of 'review' in there... by brycemonkey	Oct 16th, 2006 10:37:41 AM
A few more spoilers would have been good to get more of an idea of what its about. Thanks for the 'review' anyway.
Plant or not... by Roguewriter	Oct 16th, 2006 10:40:46 AM
... there is no film on the books in the next year that I anticipate more. Judd Apatow can do no wrong. And watching Katy Heigl's raw, outstanding work on GREY'S ANATOMY right now -- truly, the only redeeming element of that rapidly soapifyin pile o' melodramatic dookie -- makes me want to see more, more, more of this terrific actress. And opposite Seth? Sublime. Bring it on!!
dioxholster by Spaz_Monkey	Oct 16th, 2006 11:17:13 AM
CAn we just ban this guy or something? Maybe hunt him down and chop his fingers off? Hypnotize him to forget who Michael Bay is? Anything? Please?
IDIOCRACY SUCKED by jackinitraw	Oct 16th, 2006 11:43:37 AM
I was so excited to see it and then thhhhhhhhhhhhpt. Crap. One note humour and a wasted cast and budget. Paul Rudd however can do no wrong. I'll see this. I'll second Borat being one of the funniest movies ever made.
Plot, plants, boobs, etc. by X-Ray Cat	Oct 16th, 2006 11:53:17 AM
Sorry for not going much into the plot, I guess I assumed others were as excited as me and already knew. Someone already explained it just as well as I could. Seth Rogen plays a stoner living off some settlement money which is starting to run out, so he and his roommates are working on a website tracking nude celebrities. Heigl works at E! and lives with her sister (Leslie Mann) and her sister's husband (Rudd). They meet at a club, have a disastrous one-night stand, she gets pregnant, and they get together and try to make it work, despite the fact that they have very little in common, and they're constantly reminded of how easily marriage can fail because of Rudd and Mann's relationship. I'm not a plant, search for my name and you'll see lots of other reviews with varying degrees of love and hate responses. This was, however, one of my most anticipated films, and that's why I had such a strong reaction to it. Katherine Heigl does not show her luggage. Idiocracy is amazing. That's all.
No Heigl Luggage? by Leto III	Oct 16th, 2006 12:27:17 PM
Damn. She's got a great ass (per MY FATHER THE HERO, though that's a rather jailbait example, there). I still maintain that GREY'S ANATOMY should be changed to (Izzie) STEVENS' ANATOMY...she's one of the major reasons to tune in each week. Screw Pompeo.
Well I hope it is good by godzillasushi	Oct 16th, 2006 12:34:26 PM
because 40YOV was a fine movie and this dude says its better kind of.
crayotic.... by delatao	Oct 16th, 2006 12:45:30 PM
she's playing a christian doctor on ER.
TOO SOON! by Cletus Van Damme	Oct 16th, 2006 12:56:37 PM
...I just bought the 40-Year-Old Virgin on DVD like a month ago.
Leto III by beefywhore	Oct 16th, 2006 01:10:01 PM
Dude, you couldn't be righter(its a word in my dictionary...written in crayon... but still there) She is the best part of that show and the TITLE character is the worst part of that show...that said I can't wait for this flick.
I don't watch the show, but I'm pretty sure it's called by CreasyBear	Oct 16th, 2006 01:25:56 PM
Grey's Anatomy because there's a required-reading text called Grey's Anatomy that med students have used for many years. Maybe a doctor will clarify, if he or she can quit saving lives long enough to waste time on a website specializing in giant robots and advertising toys (um, . . . "maquettes"?) for adults.
If you didn't think Borat was funny... by lilgoodmn	Oct 16th, 2006 01:28:33 PM
...if I ever met you, there is a good chance I would hate you. A REALLY good chance. If your sense of humor is that fucked up, I honestly don't want to know you.
Nobody asked ME, but these are officially funny: by CreasyBear	Oct 16th, 2006 02:04:43 PM
This Is Spinal Tap, The Jerk, Airplane!, Caddyshack, Ferrell on SNL, Reno 911, Strangers with Candy, and The Colbert Report. Oh, and Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
Rant Breath...if you must know... by lilgoodmn	Oct 16th, 2006 02:34:12 PM
I actually agree with most of what the above guy has listed. Plus any other Christopher Guest movies, as well as stuff like Old School, Wedding Crashers, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, most Wes Anderson movies, and the list goes on. If you are still curious, I can add more. I would actually be curious to know what a person who DIDN'T find the Borat movie to be funny (not even a little bit) actually DOES find funny. If they were to list a good portion of these same things, I would be shocked.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this... by DanielKurland	Oct 16th, 2006 02:56:03 PM
Also a big Apatow fan, and I love what he comes up with. I agreee with the Oscars comment, but the fact that 40 Year-Old Virgin was voted as one of WGA or AFI's top written scripts of the year is SOMETHING. And yeah, I'd like to discuss Moore's pubic hair as well.
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Oct 16th, 2006 04:06:58 PM
Damn you Michael Bay
My funny faves by DirkD13"	Oct 16th, 2006 04:48:55 PM
Spaced, Life Of Brian, Holy Grail, Black Books, Animal House, Family Guy, Office Space, Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Hooray for throwing more by Mechasheeva	Oct 16th, 2006 04:59:15 PM
Freaks & Geeks cast members into this. Martin Starr and Seth Rogen were my two faves on the show. And why has nobody mentioned Ghostbusters as among the funniest movies ever?
Apatow can do no wrong? Are you serious? by JackLint	Oct 16th, 2006 05:50:28 PM
Have you seen Fun with Dick and Jane? Awful. Did you see Cable Guy? Not that great. Just keep Apatow away from Jim Carrey and they'll both do fine. Incidentally, they're very good friends, they've known each other since their stand-up days. It's odd that they're not nearly as funny when they collaberate.
"The flowers are STILL standing!" by CreasyBear	Oct 16th, 2006 05:50:43 PM
We are in agreement, Mechasheeva.
Can't wait by dejectedgeek	Oct 16th, 2006 08:32:56 PM
I loved Seth Rogan in 40 Year Old Virgin and have been a fan of his after watching Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared...can't wait to see it.
perfect...except it is 45 minutes too long. by s0nicdeathmonkey	Oct 16th, 2006 09:43:48 PM
i saw the movie too, and it is no where near done. it is WAY too long and the pacing was all over the place. the movie was about 2 hours and 20 minutes long! full of fat.
the cut i saw of Dick and Jane was pretty damn good by s0nicdeathmonkey	Oct 16th, 2006 09:50:50 PM
but it was fucked up and watered down by reshoots. also, i love cable guy. but then, i love pretty much any dark comedy.
This film holds promise, but... by DirtySouthMouth	Oct 16th, 2006 11:21:30 PM
...until it comes out, you may as well watch something else: http://tinyurl.com/wraah
Do a search on youtube for charlyne yi by Trader Groucho 2	Oct 17th, 2006 01:35:45 AM
girl's a trip
creasybear by shutterghost	Oct 17th, 2006 07:14:34 PM
The title "Grey's Anatomy" is a dangling modifier. The main characters last name is Grey and it's the 'required' text. My girlfriend watches the dvds all the time
idiocracy by Lil LoLo	Oct 18th, 2006 10:19:47 PM
was fucking awful. painful to sit through. hopefully this will be good. apatow seems to know what he's doing.
