Knocked Up

VERMILLION, S.D. – Saturday was movie night for the American Indian Journalism Institution. I chose one particular movie for its comedy.

“It was a good movie,” I said after I watched it.

This comedy is about two strangers who hook up at a club and then have a baby together.

At first it seemed like a mistake and it was sad when actress Katherine Heigl, playing Alison Scott, cried in the gynecologist's office when she first learned that she was pregnant.

But through the rest of the movie Ben, played by Seth Rogen, and Alison learn to love each other. I thought this was the gist of the film. It reminded me of how much a person can tolerate another person for a good cause--in this case, a baby.

Though there were some parts that were gross, it think the film scared all the young ladies in the audience when they showed the baby crowning. Heigl made natural childbirth seem very painful. I personally wouldn’t know.
