What Parents Need to Know
About Knocked Up
Parents need to know that, like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, this comedy earns its R rating with drug use, strong language (it's constant, particularly "f--k"), nudity, and nonstop explicit conversations about sex. Naturally, most teenagers will want to see it, especially if they saw Virgin. But be advised -- the main character and his roommates spend nearly all of their time high on marijuana, and the physiological aspects of pregnancy -- from conception to crowning -- are front and center. (On the bright side, after watching all of that, it's a good bet that teens will be much less likely to risk having unprotected sex and may even appreciate what their mothers went through to give birth...)

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the consequences of having sex -- including pregnancy and parenthood. How do movies and TV shows usually depict unplanned pregnancy? How is this movie different? Does the fact that it's a comedy make the issues seem less serious? Do you think Alison and Ben made the right decisions? Why or why not? Families can also discuss the "return" of the R-rated comedy. Do the raunchy bits make movies like this funnier, or do they go overboard?

Perfect for young adults who know right from wrong
The movie was very funny however, there was a strong use of sex and drugs. The movie was not tended to be used as a role model for adolecents. The mishaps that occur are funny but it would be sad if a kid aspired to be Seth Rogen.

They already know
Anyone who expected a movie with Seth Rogen in it about getting pregnant unintentionally was going to be happy go lucky shouldn't have seen it. This was a really great movie and was terrific about dealing with unplanned pregnancy. People will say that younger kids shouldn't see it but realize that most kids above the age of 12 swear on a daily basis and most kids above the age of 14 know someone who smokes pot, if they don't themselves.

Great Movie
I really liked this movie. It was a humorous film, and at the same time had a good ending. It was just a fun movie to watch. I think it's on for ages 13+, if the kid is mature, because this movie has a lot of swear words, a lot of drug use, and the movie is very sexual. The drug use in this movie is just about the worst it can get. If the teens are mature enough though, they will know that this is just Hollywood and it's not an ideal situation. It's a very fun movie in my opinion though. The two main characters talk a lot about what is going to happen with the baby, and he becomes more mature towards the end of the film. I really liked it.

Depends
Honestly, when it comes to this movie I'd say it depends on your kid. If they're more mature, then I'd say this movie is a 14+. If they're not, then I'd say 16+.
- I rate this title on for age 16 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
e.g. You should think twice before going with a tween!

Knocked Up will make you laugh.
In this hilarious riot from the talented Writer/Director Judd Apatow will have you in stitches through the whole movie. Seth Rogen is crude and lovable as stoner Ben. On the other side of town there is the pretty blonde Allison(Katherine Heigl). The two have an encounter at a club and then after a drunken one night stand. The two realise they have nothing in common and part. About 8 weeks later she breaks the news to him about her being pregnant. The two try and work things out and turns out to be a hilarious and heartwarming journey. After you see this movie you'll want to see more.

Judd Apatow is a genius
Great movie that, if watched right, can be a good lessen for teens who don't fully understand the problems caused by unprotected sex. Recommended for no one younger than 15.
