Storyline has never been the essence of comedy movies, because such films are either boring to bad plot, or exaggerated nonsensical. The real essence is to make the audience laugh more than 10 times in a two-hour period. If No matter how touching among them, it can be regarded as an extremely successful work, and the film just reaches this level.
The heroine is very beautiful and her name is Allison. She is a news and entertainment reporter. She has been promoted recently because of her talent. The protagonist Ben, a vagrant, unemployed young man, has a good body, has a curly hair, smokes like crazy (really without merit), all day long, he only knows that he is fooling around with his friends, he also runs a strange website to let the audience know those There will be a dew-point shot in the first few minutes of the movie...
Well, people who were originally two worlds can now meet together. (Why didn't I have such a good thing?) To celebrate the promotion, Allison and her sister went to the bar to celebrate, and met Ben there. As the so-called drunk sex, the two had a "one-night stand" drunk.
Things passed for a while. One day, Ben received a call from Allison. He thought he could have another one-night stand, but he was told that Allison was pregnant (because of the monkey's urgency, Ben didn’t bring a condom). This was both parties. Unexpected things, the two began to blame and abuse each other, but this could not solve the problem. "Unexpected pregnancy" is an indisputable fact. After some consideration, the two of them decided to give birth to the baby, but Ben had no job and no money. Once Allison was found to be pregnant by the company, he would also lose the position of the anchor who had just arrived. Things became complicated...
Comedy movies are indispensable with spoofs. The film is interspersed with "Martin the Long Beard" jokes from beginning to end, such as: "Martin, as an American, would it be weird to join the Taliban?", "Your face is like Robin William "Hey, Crouch, are you still breaking up with Tabor? (Croche and Tabor are partners in "Miami Storm")", "Goodbye, Cocaine Scoot Seth (for a while Scorsese had a big beard)", "Hi, Chubacka (a character in "Star Wars", ape-man)",. Not only that, but it also tells our audience how many points are revealed in which movie as part of the plot. It is worth a question. There are many guest appearances of stars, such as James Franco, Jessica Alba, Steve Carell, Ryan Seacrest, Eva Mendes, etc., so that the main story can be accompanied by some small tidbits.
Although it is a comedy, it can be seen from the beginning to the end that the director is dissatisfied with modern society. The film is full of satirical elements, and it is also thought-provoking. Today's society is a society where "one-night stands" are flooded. This kind of plot in the film is commonplace, and even the age can be down to a few years, but how many people choose to keep this life, and how many people can take the responsibility? In the film, the reaction of the two parties after learning of the unexpected pregnancy is so intense that they shirk their responsibilities and blame each other, which exposes their human nature. After calming down, the two parties began to learn to tolerate each other and set aside some time to get to know each other. In spite of various incidents, splitting and recombination, in the end the two players still trusted each other, overcame the difficulties, and took the responsibility together to save a precious life. The story is so beautiful, but in reality, there is a big gap. There are a lot of stories like this at the beginning, but there are very few similar endings.
Suspicion and deception are also terrible evils in people's hearts. Allison's brother-in-law, like Ben, is a person who likes freedom. He thinks that getting married means freedom away. So he would rather cheat than tell his wife that he has no affair, but just joined a virtual baseball club outside. There is no contradiction between family and freedom, but few people are immune to the influence of the two.
This film is such a movie that makes people love and hate. What I love is the beauty in the virtual, and what I hate is the ugliness in the reality...
