    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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'.

  • Too long

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    This film is simply too long - a decent basic idea stretched out over a whole 2 hours and 10 minutes. I thought it was never going to end!

  • Nice warm film, worth watching with the brain in neutral!

    This is a film you probably need to be a parent to appreciate best, but if you're not then it might well help because its warm and touching and actually gives a very positive picture of two young adults struggling to come to terms with having created a new life. Off-putting title but really a great portayal of the angst of unintended parenthood, & coping with it in a generous way. What I especially liked was the utterly natural dialogue and the way that because everything was believable so that one could enjoy the thread unimpeded by thoughts that 'that's nonsense'. The bad language, love-making and realistic child-birth scenes are really not so strong that a late teenager couldn't get quite a lot from this movie. Really, quite an enjoyable watch.

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    don't be put off by an awful title for a good film; well scripted and acted, full of warm and compassionate humour with moments of lovely laugh out loud recognition

    A complete waste of time, incredibly awful, could not wait for the movie to be over. The story was dull and the characters were boring. It's rather disgusting too, wish I never watched this.

  • Hate chick flicks, loved this

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 07 Jul 2012
    A really charming film - way better than I expected. An unconventional love story, but a bit more realistic than most Hollywood fare. The four leads are great, with real chemistry between them, and it's one of the few comedies I've recently watched that I've found laugh-out loud funny.

    The downside is that it IS 20-30 minutes too long - and the arguments seem manufactured to provide a dramatic twist that's out of place with the rest of the film.

    Katherine Heigl famously called the film a little sexist, since the men are goofy and fun-loving, and the women are portrayed as 'shrews'. This seems a little unfair: the only shrewish character is played by the director's wife, and the goofy friends of Seth Rogen's character are fundamentally unlikeable. That the film never out-and-out criticises them leaves a slightly odd taste in the mouth, but not enough to ruin a really heart-warming, foot-ticklingly funny film.
