From the Biting The Hand That Fed Me $5.7 million and an Emmy Department, a dead horse gets new life:
Katherine Heigl is knocking her summer hit Knocked Up for being “a little sexist.
???It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys…It was hard for me to love the movie.???
Honestly, I don’t know why I spend so much time defending Knocked Up as not only *not* sexist, but kinda sorta maybe a work of semi-realism. There’s gotta be something wrong with *me*, right? No, I don’t buy the idea that she would have taken him back at the end??????I don’t even buy the idea that that guy had the means to up and move into his own apartment, unless there was a scene where he asked Harold Ramis for a loan that we didn’t see. But as I’ve said before, I totally buy the idea that that girl would fall for that guy, and I’m still annoyed by the blase, “but she totally would have gotten an abortion” argument.
I’m comfortable being lonely with my unfashionable opinions. What I don’t get, is this sudden need for realism in regards a dude com. Was anybody convinced that Old School could have really happened?
