"Knocked Up"
Scorecard Review
Jeff: 'Knocked Up' a knock out
Plot: It’s a one-night stand that has consequences. But luckily for us, the consequences are consistent laughter. Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) is a pot-smoking slacker who is the complete opposite of Allison Scott (Katherine Heigl), an up-and-coming E! Entertainment journalist. But when they get pregnant, both are willing to see if they can make it work in just nine short months.
Who’s it for: It’s a great date movie: Men will be laughing along with the group of boys in the film and women will be properly rolling their eyes. It’s the perfect balance.
Expectations: If you’ve seen a preview, you know this is from the same director as “40 Year Old Virgin.” You know this because they mention it EVERY chance they get. Another thing about the preview … they don’t show any of the truly funny moments.

Just saw it tonight and thought it was great. Your comments are pretty spot on. I *loved* the doorman scene (especially the 1 1/4 black people if there's only 25 people inside line) and the little girl explaining where babies come from.
(Random comment: my favorite "cameo" was Joanna Kerns -- where has she been?)
Kerns - yeah, very surprising that she hasn't found work. She could easily play the random mom in 3-4 films a year.
