Wow. I was definetely surprised with the incredible quality of Knocked Up. I truly loved this film. The characters, the beautiful dialogue, the amazing sense of humour, the story...everything was endearing and satisfying. I hated the 40 year old Virgin...(i know many disagree) and I think it's because this movie was so much better. It balanced the drama and the comedy much better.

Allison and Ben's romance was amazing, much stronger than I could expect. They were friends, then lovers, then friends, then lovers...it was very complex and funny to watch a relationship change like that.
The Pete/Debbie relationship was gold. So amazingly realisitic and at the same time comedic perfection.

I think this is undoubtedly the best comedy of the year. Grindhouse may or may not hold that honour, I'm still not sure which one I think is better, but this is without a doubt the freshet, most fun, smartest, most satisfying Summer comedy I've seen in years.

5/5
