Knocked Up
Total let down - just not funny - Elvo
This movie reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine in that it is all hype without much to back it up. A laugh out loud comedy it ain't. In fact it is not very funny at all. I spent the first half of the movie waiting for the killer laughs and none came. The second half just consisted of mounting frustration building up in me because (a) still no big laughs and (b) why was I still watching this cr*p. It will make you smile from time to time and maybe laugh, a bit, here and there but overall this is a poor comedy, a big, big disappointment. Avoid unless you're drunk or stoned or both.....
