i'm a dad. my kids are of the age where most films i see in a theatre are the ones my children want to see. some are fine, some aren't. many are animated, many have characters in full coustume, and some try for romance or comedy. i don't really care about the films. i like taking them to the flicks so i can be with them. in fact, the best part of going to the movies with my kids is having them "re-enact" all of their favorite or least favorite moments in the movie they just watched minutes ago.
so i was surprised that i agreed to see "knocked up" last nite with a buddy of mine whose wife was away at a wedding with their youngest child and their oldest had just started camp the day before. this quasi-bachelor moment meant catching a 10pm show at a midtown theatre. the theatre was fairly crowded a fact that surprised me since these days i don't venture out too late during the work week.
i must admit i thought the film was very funny, stupid, insipid, inspired, druggy, gratuitous sex jokes, fart jokes, outrageous, sentimental and there were even moments of true insight into the nature of men/women and relationships. and through it all, i laughed out loud. it has been a while since i did that so often and for so very long.
lastly, i saw 40yr old virgin as a netflix entry and thought so what.
just one person's opinion.
be well
