'Knocked Up' is a movie about two completely different people getting together to have a one night stand and falling pregnant. Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) is a responsible young woman who's career is on the fast track at E! but runs into a 23 year old bum, Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) at a bar. There they get blindly drunk and go back to her place, which is a pool house at the back of her sister's house. When Alison wakes up she realises what a mistake she has made and decides to get rid of him as quick as possible. Later at work she continuously is sick and finds out she is pregnant. She decides to keep the baby and tell Ben. Together they have to work through their differences and become happy with an adorable baby girl.
I thought that it was a really good movie and had a nice ending. When I had heard of the movie I thought that it didn't sound like a very good movie, it seemed like it wouldn't have a good story line and would leave me feeling disgusting and yuk. I continued to think this throughout the movie, whenever Ben would do drugs or mess up and Alison freaked out I could feel her pain, worries, doubts and regrets. Which makes for a good movie, making the audience feeling as though they are being taken through a journey with the characters. I had a very strong feeling that it wouldn't turn out rainbows and daisies but they turned out to be happy and i beleive they had, or will have, a happy life.
Overall I think the moral of the movie was that sometimes life is hard but we need to suck it up because it will be worth it in the end. Don't give up without a fight, or without trying.
