that's because Kung Pow on weed is a fucking magical journey.


The scene in which he had his friends hit him repeatedly with the staves was honestly one of the most memorable scenes in the last 10 years for me.

that whole movie is memorable because we were tripping balls throughout the whole thing.

I watched it in the theaters after a couple friends drug me to it and I can honestly say that Kung Pow was a better movie than this.
?

That's like saying Citizen Kane is honestly better than <insert movie title that's obviously nowhere near as good as Citizen Kane here>.

:lol

Don't even put Kung Pow in the same sentence as that knocked up crap.


No....

Knocked Up = Financial Success in theaters

Kung Pow = Financial Failure (if you want to call it that) in theaters

But....

Knocked Up = Me wonder wtf I was doing there?

Kung Pow = Me saying "My name is Betty" randomly (in the voice) for 3 days after.

Horrible. Exploiting potheads for comedy. Part of this new breed of girl movies disguised as guy movies. Like Wedding Crashers. "Oh you have to stop smoking pot, give up your dreams, get a desk job and grow up."

Fuck you Seth Rogan...FUCK YOU!
What's wrong with stepping up when responsibility comes your way?

I did go into this movie thinking it'd be a lot funnier, but I still enjoyed it.

If there is no relationship between this and Superbad and you guys just randomly bringing it up to compare to this, then I quit.

knocked up and superbad are both from the apatow camp.


Ok, I just got the CE of the DVD of knocked up. I watched knocked up in the theatres and really enjoyed it and had planned on getting it on DVD. I have to say though, the Bonus features in this movie are probably the BEST bang for my buck on bonus features I have ever gotton, and I have alot of CE of DVDs.

first of all, there are TONS of great deleted takes/scenes/bonus foootage and all of it for the most part are funny as hell. some of the stuff that was deleted are so funny I don't know why they would take it out being that its funnier than some stuff in the movie. IE. Dr Kuni's rant which was on youtube before knocked up came out.

Also, another thing that had me almost in tears with laughter is the whole "Finding Ben Stone" feature. Honestly...it's what brought me to post about knocked up. It is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life. Of course you would have to watch knocked up first to truly appreciate it, but i'd imagine it would be moderately funny if you haven't. but Wow, I was almost in tears. Apatow is a fucking genius. The "Finding Ben stone" feature is actually funnier than the movie knocked up itself imo. I hope they do some more creative/funny stuff like this for the bonus features in Superbad. I don't know....being high while watching the "Finding Ben Stone" feature might have made it more funnier than it is...but shit, I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time.

It is a comedy. It is very funny. You might be one of those poor unfortunate souls inflicted with bad taste in film.

Or are you saying you liked it but didn't think it was very funny? Still, kind of odd, but less odd than saying that this is not pretty awesome.

Some folks didn't like 40 YO Virgin either, and I don't really get where they're coming from.

Once you stick some drama next to humor, apparently it's not a comedy anymore.
