Peter Travers: Grumpy?
F*ck this and f*ck that, f*ck it all and f*ck her f*cking brat.
I just saw Knocked Up, and as astute (hee hee, "ass toot") commenter Willravel pointed out, it is indeed a powerful aphrodisiac. In fact I'm glad I didn't see it with my grandma, 'cause I'd probably be doin' the old broad missionary anal right now. Just kidding, she's dead!
But seriously, IMIO* it was spot on all the way through, hilarious, honest as hell, and nailed 'heartwarming', without being the usual collection of ridiculous cliches like, say, Love Actually (sorry, the only way I can praise something is by contrasting it with something I despise. My psychiatrist says it's because I'm broken on the inside; I don't understand his clinical jargon.). And Seth Rogan somehow looks like he has a dip in throughout the entire movie. Maybe he has big gums?
Anyway, my only question is how my favorite film critic, Peter Travers, only gave it three and a half stars. He gave Borat four, which was well deserved, but also Letters From Iwo Jima, which was, well...long. Long and grey. Anyway, check out the list of other flicks he gave three and a half stars to too and get indignant. Grrr! Love ya, Pete, but I call bullshit on this one.
Knives out!
*In My Infallible Opinion
UPDATE: The Rolling Stone feature on Judd Apatow claims the DVD will include seven hours of extras.
Knocked Up is significantly better than at least two thirds of these movies. But not The Lives of Others, that shit was f***in' harsh.
