But “Knocked Up” is so enamored of Ben and his insouciant charm that it fails to wonder what it must feel like for the girl. It’s a promising premise, and Apatow takes it unexpected directions. And yet here, an ill-advised one-night stand leads to an unplanned pregnancy, an unplanned pregnancy leads to a decision to keep the baby, and a decision to keep the baby leads to the young odd couple, barely into their 20s, deciding to make the best of it and try to make the as-yet-nonexistent relationship work.
Is this what it’s come to for the youth of today? The result of all Facebook and no face-to-face? Because there once was a time, long ago, when to get these two together, you’d have had to maroon them on the Blue Lagoon. When Debbie is prematurely called away on a child-related emergency, Alison decides to stay behind and keep drinking with Ben and his buddies - much to their surprise and, frankly, ours. Ben and Alison meet one evening at a nightclub where Alison has gone to celebrate a promotion with her older, married sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann). Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) is a dewy Valkyrie, recently promoted to on-camera talent on the E! network.
But if “Virgin” mined all that was most pathetic and painful about its hero’s predicament to create the kind of comedy that made you want to avert your eyes and scream, “Knocked Up” takes it surprisingly easy on Rogen’s character, Ben, even though he’s young and beefy and could probably handle the criticism.īen Stone (Rogen) is an amiable slacker and dedicated stoner whose marshmallow physique underscores his even softer aspirations. The distinctive element in Apatow’s comedy has always been his love for what might be called the differently socialized (the term “loser” buys in too readily to a system that the writer-director clearly doesn’t subscribe to), and “Knocked Up” follows happily in that tradition, with the opening sequence an exuberant tribute to the dumb life.
