At Long Last I've Seen it

I feel kinda guilty about finally seeing "Knocked Up" at the end of the summer. I guess it was one of those movies I knew I should see and wanted to see, but I just didn't for some reason. I even had the chance to go see it when it first came out but chose not to because "I just wasn't feeling like going to a movie."
Now that I have finally seen it I can now be in on what everyone else was raving about. This is not just laugh out loud funny, but one great "relationship" movie. Judd Apadow the writer/director has created some great, funny, and real characters in this film. I don't think there was one of the main characters I didn't sympathize with. Since I'm a guy I guess it would be easy for me to understand what men go through when expecting to be a father for the first time, or what it feels like to be married for ten years. (For the record I have so far experienced none of that, but I don't think you have to to understand how these guys are feeling.) What really got me was how much of the women's side I actually sympathized with. The bottom line whether you're having a baby or getting through a marriage it takes hard work and commitment and this movie is not afraid to be open and honest about it. It also helps to have a sense of humour. If this movie chose to be a drama I think it would be just as true and poignant, but then you wouldn't get the "Back to the Future" references or Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd experiencing Cirque Du Solei on mushrooms (And I love the scene in their hotel room with the chairs.) I was charmed by this movie, and kinda inspired by it too. Judd Apatow has made a comedy about real people facing real life and it's great you can laugh at it.
