Although this story about a mismatched couple expecting a baby strains credibility and sometimes pushes the limits of good taste, it delivers plenty of belly laughs.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Ultimately the film says that fate has a way of kicking you up a notch, if you can somehow let yourself rise to the occasion.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

The year's best comedy; one that confirms the arrival of an extended group of talent that looks set to take the studio comedy crown from the likes of Ferrell, Stiller and Carrey.
Ben Walters, Time Out

Knocked Up isn't going to help change the world or anything, but at the very least it may help take one's mind off the relentlessly dismal headlines. I don't know what greater service a mere movie can perform these days.
