What an incredible cast! There are too many to name, but you can't help telling yourself throughout the film "Oh, there's (insert name here)!" and "Wow, that's (insert name here!" Since it's a Judd Apatow film, the runtime goes on for far too long and the story runs out of gimmicks, but you'll be laughing non-stop throughout.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warmly funny exploration of two incompatible people forced to grow up and build something real together. It's messy and awkward, but ultimately hopeful about the transformative power of unexpected commitment.

Reviews
The criticism of Knocked Up portraying men as fun loveable oafs and women as uptight shrews stands, and I also think it's a funny movie. Both things can be true.
It's the larger ensemble that makes this work for me. Leslie Mann has blossomed from her FRENCH TOAST moment from 40 Year Old Virgin. I'm a big Freaks and Geeks fan, so naturally I love Martin Starr and Jason Segel. Little Maude and Iris Apatow are cute and funny; I love "I googled murder." It's not my favorite 2000's Apatow comedy, but I still have fun watching it.
