Knocked up

This week our classmates shared their presentation of the film “Knocked Up” which happens to be one of my favorite romantic comedies.

This film can be seen as both traditional and non-traditional romantic because it’s a story about two strangers (Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl,) who meet each other at a club, have sex, don’t see each other for months and then try to figure out what they are going do with their lives after they realize they are going to have an unintended pregnancy. After struggling to figure out if they are compatible enough to stay together, they finally do, which is totally traditional.


Seth Rogans Character is a lazy, nerdy immature pot smoking jobless guy, where As in Katherine Heighls character is everything opposite.
Her character is smart, beautiful and has a career in television business to develop.
A classmate pointed out that the only way Seth Rogans character was able to get the girl in the first place was because she was “under the influence of alcohol” when they had sex.

Overall I think this was a good example of radical romance.
Not really the traditional boy meets girl, boy peruses girl, boy gets girl boy looses girl boy wins girl back.
