My wife and I went to see this film yesterday. Very good flick. It's from the makers of "40-Year Old Virgin." If you like that movie, you'll like this one as well. Very funny!

My wife and I saw it this weekend. I enjoyed it and so did she. It was a little too long though, but still a good movie. I could have done w/o the birth scene though-eeewwwww.

Author says 'Knocked Up' ripped off

Story Highlights
• Canadian author wrote book called "Knocked Up"
• Book, hit movie have similarities, she says; she's suing
• Filmmaker Judd Apatow says film very different

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A Canadian author has sued NBC Universal and director Judd Apatow claiming they ripped off the premise of the hit movie "Knocked Up" from her book of the same name.

In an article for Maclean's magazine this month, Calgary-based author Rebecca Eckler details similarities between her book and the film, in which an up-and-coming TV reporter gets drunk at a party and then gets pregnant from a one-night stand.

Eckler writes that in her 2004 book, the character is an up-and-coming newspaper reporter who gets drunk and "knocked up" after celebrating at her engagement party.

She claims that while pitching her book to Hollywood producers, she learned of Apatow's project and the script, which she says had on it a picture of a martini glass with a pacifier around the stem -- the same as the cover of her book.

Apatow said in a statement through his representatives that the book and film were very different.

"Anyone who reads the book and sees the movie will instantly know that they are two very different stories about a common experience," said the statement, posted on celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

The lawsuit claiming copyright infringement was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in January and seeks unspecified damages.

"Knocked Up" starring Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen debuted last weekend in second place with $30.6 million.

Sounds as if the author waited to see how the movie did it's first couple weeks and then decided to sue.

Judd Apatow is also the guy behind the tv series "Freaks & Geeks" and "Undeclared". Undeclared is decent, but Freaks is in a league of it's own. Seth Rogen's character is great in that, too. He basically plays a wiseass and nails it (I'm guessing it's not too far from his real personality). Check out the DVDs if you liked "Virgin" and "Knocked Up".

Saw it last night and it was hilarious. Pretty much what I was expecting. Katherine Heigl, what else can you say about her? So freakin' hot. Paul Rudd was awesome as usual too. I agree that it was a bit long.
