Knocked Up / USA / 2007

As in his previous work (but even more so here), Judd Apatow successfully evokes a generation of twenty & thirty-somethings who are terrified of growing up. Be it Leslie Mann’s freak-out when she’s told she’s no longer “young and hot” enough to get into a nightclub, Paul Rudd’s sneaking away from his wife and kids to play fantasy baseball with his male friends, Seth Rogen and his friends sitting around and getting stoned all day, or even Harold Ramis’ [playing Rogen’s dad] admission that he didn’t quite have it in him to keep his three marriages intact, what Apatow creates is as affecting a portrait of arrested development and age-obsessed society as any I’ve seen onscreen.
