I hadn't heard of this but after watching the clips, I want to see it. It's from Jason Reitman (son of Ghostbuster's director Ivan Reitman) who also wrote and directed Thank You for Smoking. It looks like it may be funny, and cute, and the reviews of it so far are amazing. Here are four clips from the movie. Here's the Rotten Tomatoes review page.
Looks like it's in limited release now, but if you're near a theater that's playing it, you may want to check it out. | |

"Who is he?"
"The baby? I don't know much about him." | |

It's probably supposed to, I suppose. I'm just not a huge fan of "humor by discomfort".  I just never could get over that little factor while watching the previews... | |

Knocked Up was a funny movie though... no doubt of that. It just made me uncomfortable watching it in the theater with my wife, best friend, and his girlfriend at the time. | |
