	Media	Author	Review
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"An instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining, pandering or preaching."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[Apatow's] jokes double back after the first laugh and hit you where it hurts (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times	"'Knocked Up' is funny, but it’s lacking at the core (...) [It] is so enamored of Ben and his insouciant charm that it fails to wonder what it must feel like for the girl."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"However contrived it is in some ways, there is something refreshingly unexpected and incorrect about this film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joe Leydon Variety	"'Knocked Up' is uproarious. Line for line, minute to minute, writer-director Judd Apatow's latest effort is more explosively funny, more frequently, than nearly any other major studio release in recent memory."
		J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"Funny, honest, and generous, this is mainstream American comedy at its best."
		Tom Charity CNN	"A top-rank comedy (...) [Its] winning combination of benevolence and belly laughs will leave audiences smiling"
		Scott Tobias AV Club	"An uproariously frank treatment of pregnancy and impending adulthood (...) [Apatow] makes viewers want to hang out with his characters indefinitely."
		Sukhdev Sandhu Telegraph	"Ignore anyone who tells you 'Knocked Up' is only for adolescent boys; it has an equal-opportunities brashness topped up with scratchy charm and an incisive wisdom"
