Knocked Up Could Bring You To Your Knees

I have never heard so many cuss word in my life. This is the ultimate date movie that reminds me of 40 year-old virgin (directed by the same person). It was gross, smart, sweet, and a blast to watch. This could be nominated for best comedy come awards time.
It was not necessarily the gross out scenes or the cussing that made this movie funny. It was the relationship that was built during a short period of time. If you take one career driven women and mix it with a 0 sense man you get a bad relationship. This is when a lot of growing up takes place. Both of their interests were combined eventually to make a funny romp. Strangely enough, they make a cute couple.
Although Virgin is funnier at times (the hot wax scene taking the cake), this one may be a little bit more important. We know where it takes place, we know why it takes place, and in the end we really like both characters. Steve Carrell is funnier than the lead in this movie, but I think "Stone" may have created a more believable person.
In the end, this movie is definitely a date movie, a guy movie, and maybe a movie that will be rewarded at the end of the year. See it.
