Knocked Up
(USA, 2007, 128 minutes)
An up-and-coming TV presenter finds out she’s pregnant by an unemployed slouch she had a one-night stand with two months earlier. Warm-hearted comedy that manages to be raunchy and moving at the same time, without ever condescending or pandering to its audience; the excellent scripting and dialogue and spot-on performances make up for the lack of any visual excitement and for some minor length problems.
