As more films like
Knocked Up and
The 40-Year-Old Virgin continue to make money and get released, I become more and more disturbed with the direction of the entertainment industry. Under no circumstance should a film about pregnancy outside of marriage be funny. I don't understand how our society has decided to accept that pre-marital sex is not only okay, but encouraged. I may be speaking under false pretense as I have not actually seen
Knocked Up, but the idea behind the film makes my stomach cringe. I don't really know what more to say. To be honest, if I did actually see the film, I would probably laugh quite a bit, but that is exactly what the producers and directors of a film like this expect. The entertainment industry has decided that anything goes, and anything that can get a buck is something that needs to be made. This couldn't be more clear in a film like
Wedding Crashers, which is absolutely hilarious, but to be honest is almost like a softcore porn in some scenes. Something needs to change, but as long as the seats are filled in theaters, it won't.
