Critics Consensus

Knocked Up is a hilarious, poignant and refreshing look at the rigors of courtship and child-rearing, with a sometimes raunchy, yet savvy script that is ably acted and directed.

... Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl have great chemistry onscreen and they are hysterical together.

Although this story about a mismatched couple expecting a baby strains credibility and sometimes pushes the limits of good taste, it delivers plenty of belly laughs.

Funny, rude and with a heart of gold that surprisingly doesn't grate.

A decade-and-a-half after its release, Judd Apatow’s 2007 comedy Knocked Up is mostly known for a few controversies... All of those controversies have some merit. But that doesn’t mean the film itself deserves to be written off. (15th anniversary)

Fifteen years after its release, Knocked Up is a time capsule of comedy filmmaking from over a decade ago.

Judd Apatows gags are strewn with crude language and extreme behavior but his humor is all grounded in character and relationships and prickly moments of self-realization and guilt, and his cast mixes it up wonderfully.

See Rogen early in his career in this comedy about a one-night stand turned forever.

Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. The plot was very good as well. Cheering for Seth Rogen the whole movie and genially facepalmed over all of his dumb mistakes.

A gross-out comedy that's light on the gross, high on the comedy and adds some genuine heart for good measure. A wonderfully engaging movie.

I think it could have been incredible. But comedies generally need to be no longer than 90 minutes. And it was definitely more vulgar and not as funny as it could have been. Seems like they couldn’t decide between comedy and drama. I think Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann steal the show.

Too long for a late 2000’s comedy centered around drugs, intercourse, and a hookup resulting in pregnancy (not a shock for a Seth Rogan film) Too many story lines thrown into this 2 hour plus movie that is all too predictable with minimal laugh out loud moments. Completely forgettable after reminiscing on how my classmates thought it was a classic back when I was in High school.
