This is easily one of the best movies I have seen all year, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard in the theater. The minute I left the theater I was ready to see it again, I wanted to hang out with the actors and actresses and live in the movie.
Everybody in the film is great and I can't think of a better group of actors to share scenes. These people feel like real friends and family, not just for the movie. Everyone has a relaxed sensibility that fits perfectly within this story.
The best comedies come from real life and all the situations in this feel real. Not everything is tidied up at the closing credits, there are a few loose threads just like life. There are some tender moments too, not that it contains any heavy drama but there are heartfelt moments that ground the film. Funny and honest this is American comedy at its best.
I'm not sure how long this streak is going to last for Judd Apatow but everything he touches seems to turn to comedy gold. With the 40 Year-Old Virgin and now this he has placed himself in the upper echelon of comedy directors. Knocked Up is an instant classic.

See it, then see it again. I really love it.
