One of the cutest movies I have seen in a long time. Some of the scenes with the husband were unpleasant to watch, but to me that just says that writer/director Adrienne Shelly did a good job of making him unlikable. Those scenes also stood out because the rest of the movie was so light and fun to watch, despite the serious issues the characters were dealing with. My main concern throughout the movie was wondering how they were going to end it, because the movie could have had any number of dissatisfying endings. Thankfully it did not, and I left the theater mostly satisfied (the only dissatisfaction came not from the movie itself, but from the knowledge that it is Shelly’s last contribution to cinema).
39. Knocked Up
Very entertaining. Not quite as funny as Judd Apatow’s previous film, but works just as well on the emotional end. Easily the second-best movie about pregnancy I’ve seen all week.
