Re: 2007 Film List


Knocked up - 9 of 10

Excellent comedy/drama from Judd Apatow. personally I think universal should committ themselves now to a concerted push for Katherine Heigl for a leading actress nomination. She won't win, but she's definitely good enough, with a strong enough role, to deserve a nomination. It'd be a better than Blanchett sleepwalking through Golden Age doing the same old same old that she did in Elizabeth. But Blanchett will probably get the Universal push, and nobody will think of Heigl (because it's a comedy and therefore not 'awardworthy'), which is a fucking shame.

Wonderful movie that was outstanding from start to finish. It's not perfect but it's a damn brilliant piece of storytelling and I would even say it's the rare comedy that matters because it uses comedy to its full potential in the tradition of Wilder and Sturges rather than just eliciting sitcom puns and slapstick grossouts.
