Rated: R
This comedy/drama directed and written by Judd Aptow, has been nominated 9 times and has won 2 awards this year for Best Comedy Movie 2008 and Best original screenplay.
The plot of the movie is about two people (party lover Ben and up and coming career girl Alison) they have very little in common but when they meet in a bar they end up having a one night stand, which results in a pregnancy. The two decide they have to at least try to make the relationship work for the baby's sake.
I feel this movie is a great comedy and lived up to its expectations, it is quite funny at times and is definitely worth seeing. Seth Rogen (Ben) is a confident and charismatic actor and delivers the laughs as the other characters remains calm and serious around him.
At times i feel it does tend to drag on and by the second half the script becomes a bit slow, akward and mellow dramatic.
Overall this movie was long to sit through but quite entertaining and a good effort.
I give this movie 3/5 thumbs up
