Knocked Up is the first comedy I've given a straight A to since Sideways.

Best film of the year so far.

 Re: Knocked Up is the best of the Frat Pack Bunch Optimus Prime wrote: Well not technically the frat pack but they're all associated to them and even make small cameos.
The film is not just hilarious, its freaking great! its smart and Seth Rogan is just a natural. I'm sure half the shit he said wasn't in the original script and he just made it up (like half his canadian references). Dunnno how the film is rated PG 13 in Canada though!!
One of the best scenes in the movie involves Ryan Seacrest. He makes a small cameo and is hilarious too.
A++ I didnt think this had a chance in beating out classics such as Old School and Wedding Crashers.
But it does. It has all the great laughs/humor as a frat pack classic, but it is also a 'whole' movie. And a complete and utter slam dunk.
Do you ever post at the frat pack website? I'm superdeluxe

I agree that it's an entirely new faction, the Apatow connection. Apatow is considered a frat packager, Carrell is a frat pack member, and Paul Rudd/Seth Rogen are frat pack pledges.
Jonah Hill has alot of ties to the frat pack as well.
Frat packer Owen wilson also had a cameo, but it was cut.

Knocked Up the best? I'm not sure. The nicest? Yes.

LMS was good, but over-rated, nowhere near Sideways or Knocked up for me ... I guess I just didn't connect with it enough, though I can totally see how if LMS DID connect with you, it would be one of your favorites. Either way, LMS wasn't that great for me.

I disagree with the use of "frat pack" and also with your assessment! 40 year old virgin is superior!

No, it's not. It may be the most mature, but that doesn't make it better than the others. Anchorman, in particular, is comedic genius.

I saw this Saturday and was blown away. It definitely wasn't as laugh-out-loud-funny as I thought it would be but man did I just FALL IN LOVE with it.
Katherine Heigl is one of the best actresses of her generation. She was amazing. As was Seth Rogan.
The supporting cast was uproarious and after loving every last bit of him for the past 3 of years, I've finally decided that Paul Rudd is officially the my cutest/hottest/favorite actor right now.
