Writer-director Judd Apatow scored a knockout success in 2005 with his
feature debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. With Knocked Up, he’s again come up with an
enjoyable movie of distinct personality — a heady cocktail of hilarity,
heart and light raunchiness. In telling the tale of two virtual strangers carrying a pregnancy to term, Apatow never over-polishes his story’s
premise; he establishes a few key parameters and instead relies on
smartly placed supporting players in bit parts (Harold Ramis, Joanna
Kerns, Alan Tudyk and large chunks of the casts of Saturday Night Live and The
Office) to bring individual scenes to a full boil. For a little capsule review on the film, from CityBeat, click here and scroll down. More to follow in the coming days…
