For the first time (Original title: Knocked Up, English slang for: G eschwängert ) is a comedy film from 2007 by Judd Apatow , who directed and wrote the screenplay. The main characters are Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl .

action

Ben Stone, a 23-year-old from Canada who lives in the United States without a permit , does not have a job and lives on the scarce money he received as compensation ten years ago when he was hit by a postal vehicle. The somewhat infantile and not very ambitious Ben lives in a house with his friends who, like him, primarily only want to have fun and are not averse to drugs like marijuana or magic mushrooms . Together they have the plan to open a website that lists the exact duration of nude scenes by famous actresses in films.

Alison Scott lives at the house of her sister Debbie, who has a husband and two children. Alison is a responsible, ambitious woman who works for E! Entertainment Television is working and has just been promoted: instead of working as an assistant behind the camera, she will now interview celebrities in front of the camera. Alison wants to celebrate with her sister and they both go to a club that evening.

There they run into Ben and his friends by chance. Ben and Alison drink and dance together and finally end up in Alison's bed for the one-night stand . Ben is supposed to be using a condom , but has trouble putting it on. After the aroused Alison gets impatient, he throws it next to the bed and sleeps with her. The next morning, the two decide to go their separate ways, as they have little in common. Eight weeks later, Alison finds out that she is pregnant and contacts Ben about it.

A parallel plot shows the story of Alison's sister Debbie and her problems with her husband Pete. Debbie suspects Pete of infidelity. It turns out, however, that he only needs a break from married life every now and then and goes to the movies or plays fantasy baseball with friends without her .

Alison wants to keep the child and also give the relationship with the "loser" Ben a chance. Ben desperately wants a life together with Alison, since he has now realized that he loves her. Ben wants to take on responsibility and starts reading pregnancy literature and also finds a job as a web designer. He manages to break away from his regular marijuana intoxication and childish friends and looks for an apartment of his own.

After Alison can no longer hide her pregnancy from her employer, she is summoned to her boss. Surprisingly, this is not followed by being thrown out, but being transported to his own “pregnancy show”. The happy ending comes with the birth of their daughter.

Trivia

  • Lead actress Katherine Heigl said in an interview that she didn't like the fact that women are portrayed in the film only as bitches and bad guys.

  • The official soundtrack Strange Weirdos: Music From And Inspired By The Film Knocked Up was composed for the film by folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Joe Henry.
  • There are always film clips from Wild Things , Cheaper by the Dozen and Carrie - Satan's youngest daughter on TV screens.

Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was similar to the successful debut film by the director Virgo (40), Male, Looking ... The “often rough” humor is “really funny”. The film is also "surprisingly touching".

Filmz.de wrote that the film was “a wonderful comedy about love and life”, that had “a big heart for outsiders” and “a perfect sense for funny situations”.

Cinema magazine wrote that the film was a "smart comedy with heart and mind" and a "mirror for anyone who has ever had a serious relationship". "The balance of unrestrained folly and deeper truths about the relationship between the sexes" makes the "charm of this romance."

The lexicon of international films judges: “A light-weight comedy that avoids the more delicate conflict materials of the subject. At best, the film makes you sit up and take notice through an outmoded understanding of roles when the woman becomes dependent on her partner and devotes a large part of her life to his "re-education" to become responsible citizens.
