Absolutely awful

The premise of this film is based around the antics of the eye stingingly ugly, obnoxious, porcine loser 'Ben' (Seth Rogan), who by sheer dumb luck manages to spark a conversation with 'Alison' (Katherine Heigl), by buying her a beer in a club. He gets her drunk, they go back to her place and eight weeks later, she realises she is pregnant. Given the circumstances, I am surprised that the only thing he managed to pass to her, was just sperm.

What is even more ridiculous, is that Alison attempts to better acquaint herself with this bum and along the way, he and his cohort of bum friends make several obnoxious and not at all funny remarks, based on delusions of grandeur and a psychotic superiority complex. The film ends in a climax of absurdity (they have the baby and live happily ever after).

I cant believe I wasted my money on this amoebic dysentery of a film. It is not at all humorous, nor is it based on real life. Watch it, only if you are a real life 'Ben'.

Wish I'd been drunk

Wish I'd been drunk when I watched this film. Of the 4 of us who watched it I was the only one stupid enough to stay in the room till the end in the hope that it would get better - it didn't.
