This is Judd Apatow’s chronicle of a one-night stand gone horribly, horribly wrong. In lesser hands, Knocked Up could have devolved into a cliched odd-couple farce. However, Apatow’s attention to detail that made this is cult classic. Idiot-boy Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) knocks up gorgeous Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) on a drunken first date. This forges a truce with his lifelong enemy: Maturity. Talk about a buzz kill. Still, this is a film of unexpected gravity. For all of the rom-com’s relentless gags, it has a heartfelt story arc that keeps you rooting for Rogen’s underdog until the very last scene.
