When we saw "Knocked Up" over the summer, we had just broken up with a stoner boyfriend who too closely resembled Seth Rogen's character, Ben. So much so, that while we got a few laughs over the freakishly hairless prosthetic vagina, we probably had far too much of an emotional reaction to the movie. We kept saying to ourselves and others, "That story does not end that way." Because, in our experience, it did not. A few months later, when "Knocked Up" came up in conversation (and it most certainly did on many occasions), we were able to have a less emotional, more critical opinion -- chiefly, why would a smart, successful, beautiful, single woman keep the baby of a smelly stoner she only screwed because she was drunk? Apparently, the film's female lead, Katherine Heigl, agrees. In the January issue of Vanity Fair, she says she thought the movie was "a little sexist" and said, “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys." True that, Kate.
