(Not a reference to the post below.)
So we had some free time today (while celebrating) and decided on an impromptu movie. On our radar was a movie from the same people as '40 Year Old Virgin'. A movie about an accidental pregnancy, called 'Knocked Up'.
The movie is about a stoner who meets a stunner who just got a promotion. She's feeling good, has too much to drink and they end up back at her place. Birth control confusion happens and eight weeks later, she embarrassingly tracks him down again to tell him that he's a dad.
The two are horribly mismatched. Not only does he not have money, he's not the least bit interested in doing something that might put him on the path to having money. She doesn't want people to know about him and his malnourished ego keeps him in the game. She decides to keep the baby and maybe if they spend enough time together, something will click.
Life lessons are learned and the story, while not surprising, is sweet and engaging. The movie is a little unfocused, but it offers lots of very nice scenes. When the accidental dad breaks the news to his father, he's met with excitment and joy and told that he's the best thing his dad ever created.
Lots of strong language. And drug use. And nudity. And more strong (crude) language. But...if you can get past that, the movie is very good.
