I have reviewed a few movies on this blog over the last few months. Lately, on Wednesdays I try to review some of the movies I have recently seen. However, most of the movies I have reviewed have been of exceptional quality and which I would recommend to nearly anyone to view. The films I have reviewed had a moral basis and or message.
This movie review of Knocked Up is an exception. Knocked Up (2007) was recently released on DVD. The only reason I discuss it here is because of the irony I see with comments made by a Planned (really Preventing) Parenthood physician about this movie in the September 28-30, 2007 edition of USA Weekend Magazine supplement to my local newspaper. It is also an illustration of the worst of elements and products being produced by Hollywood. It is a culture-killer of a movie.
Vanessa Cullins, M.D., an executive physician with the morally bankrupt and most morally deficient Planned Parenthood Federation of America commented on the movie. In the USA Weekend Magazine article Dr. Cullins said, "I must admit, this movie stressed me out. [laughs.] I was distressed by everything from the lack of communication between the two characters to the way that it painted a rosy picture of a fairy-tale situation where the characters find true love by getting pregnant form a one-night stand (gregjaye's comment: Which one night stands and casual, uncommitted sexual immorality, Dr. Cullins, your vile organization teaches and encourages through its educational classes and materials and corruptive teenwire website - as long as you buy PPFA condoms and contraception and abortion services]. Aside from all the [gregjaye's comment: vulgar humor] laughter, I hope it encourages people to think about being better prepared (gregjaye's comment: read that condom, birth control, not virtue, chastity, abstinence, waiting for marriage) before having sex."

Dr. Cullins concludes, "It seemed the filmmakers gave short shift to Alison's decision to carry the baby to term (gregjaye's comment: decided not to kill the baby). There's a brief scene in which her mother implores her to "take care of it (gregjaye's comment: "it" a convenient way to refer to the baby as a non entity - a lie used by the abortionist to full advantage), and that seemed accurate in depicting most family (gregjaye's comment: you wish, doctor) conversations about abortion. Euphemisms are used, and the details of the process are never mentioned. Given the circumstances and context of Alison's life and career (gregjaye: another liberal feminist lie - the transcendent import of self-fulfillment over God's design for family and that a housewife is inferior to a "career woman"), however , it seemed odd how ewe never saw her consciously consider the various options before her (gregjaye's comment: abortion is immoral in nearly every situation and should almost never even be considered as an option). Of course, then it wouldn't have been a comedy (gregjaye's comment: you would rather have it be a tragedy, doctor? Which it would indeed be, to both the baby and the mother if the woman had an abortion.).
.
Save your money and don’t buy the DVD. Do not rent this film. Don't even watch it on TV. Just avoid it like the plague that it is. It is morally reprehensible. When it comes to moral reprehension or revulsion no one does it better than the Planned Parenthood Federation of America or any other abortion providers for that matter. So when PPFA makes a "moral" judgement it is worth pointing out the hypocrisy.

REVIEWS TO HEED
I did not and I would not watch this decadent trash of a movie. It is typical Hollywood fare. Some of the reviews that I have seen to describe this movie:
"... mixes raunchy with the sweet..." Entertainment Weekly."Vulgarity Eclipses Humor in Knocked Up" - Stephen McGarvey Executive Editor, CrossWalk.com
"They could have called this comedy One Crazy Night or We're Having a Baby. But Knocked Up, while abrasive, is actually more fitting (a title compared to —a shot across the bow preparing audiences for the level of offensive content they'll encounter. A cavalier attitude toward casual sex is just the beginning. From turning intercourse into a spectator sport to glamorizing drug use to showcasing gratuitous female nudity and 120 f-words, Apatow (the director) takes full advantage of the R rating.
"A few warm moments and pearls of wisdom about valuing life and family, and accepting responsibility are great. But vile humor begins at conception and remains part of the film's DNA. That turns Knocked Up into comedic porn ... with a message." - Plugged In On Line
gregjaye’s movie-review-in-abstentia rating ½* out of *****. Here is what I know that is objectionable about this movie - its carnal content, its crude and vulgar language, its depiction of sex, alcohol and drugs. The only redeeming element is that it caused consternation and chagrin of the PPFA in that their liberal “blessed sacrament” of abortion was not even seriously considered as an alternative to giving life to the baby.
