Katherine Heigl in “Knocked Up”
Katherine Heigl made her name in the unconventional romcom Knocked Up alongside Seth Rogen in 2007. While it certainly put her on the showbiz map, in later years, she revealed it wasn’t a movie she’s particularly proud of.
“It was a little sexist,” she revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair. And it paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it … Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time, it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie.
