'Knocked Up' and knocked out

Saw Knocked Up on Sunday -- about a month after it hit theaters. That's record time for the father of a 3-year-old. (Thanks, Merianne and Steve, for babysitting!)

I love this movie. It's all the things I'd like to be -- funny, sweet and inappropriate at all the appropriate times.

Seth Rogan is a modern-day shlub hero and reminds me of a more confident version of Albert Brooks. Katherine Heigl is statuesque but believable as the approachable Alyson. And writer/director Judd Apatow is that rare filmmaker who can be outrageous and poignant in the same scene.

Some of his insights on marriage and relationships and the human condition put Oprah to shame.
