Judd Apatow is very hit or miss for me; I find his assortment of regulars pretty thoroughly hysterical (especially Seth Rogen and Jason Segel), and there's stuff of his I utterly love (Freaks and Geeks, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall especially), but I barely made it halfway through 40-Year-Old Virgin, and I'm currently finally watching Knocked Up, and about as irritated by it as I expected. I can totally buy deciding to continue an unexpected pregnancy. Happens every day. But everything about the relationship between the two of them feels so far beyond unrealistic that I can't particularly get into it, even as an over-the-top sort of thing. Because a one-night-stand she's horribly incompatible with got her pregnant, she's going to try to create a romantic relationship out of it? Seriously? I could even buy it a bit more if they were just trying to be good co-parents, and ended up falling in love, but this is one of the most unbelievable premises I've heard in a while. It's frustrating, because I'm so enjoy watching the cast, and am so disliking the movie itself.
