Movie Review: Knocked Up
In a nutshell this movie is the funniest and most accurate account of marriage and becoming a new parent that I have ever seen. Rose and I could relate to almost every scene, especially the ones about being pregnant, at least I could, and where the hormones are on the rise and things get crazy. I especially liked how they portrayed the actual labor and delivery of the baby. It wasn’t like most movies or TV shows that show the water breaking and then rushing to the hospital. They showed early labor and the mother trying to calm down by taking a bath and relaxing and, what looked and sounded like to me, a real contraction. Once they got to the hospital they also wanted a more natural child birth, which was cool because that’s what my two boys and their mom went through, and they had to talk to the doctor about their options because at first he wanted to medicate them both and break the bag to induce labor.
Outside of the whole baby stuff in the movie you could relate to all the characters. Everyone seemed very real and legitimate, Rose said that in that respect it was more like a reality TV show than a movie; no one seemed like a “character”. All in all, a very honest and funny look at new parenting and developing a relationship between the soon to be mother and father, which is something that I think even married couples have to go through as their relationship changes.
