OF COURSE YOU WOULD! Doesn't mean you have to agree with 100% of everything in it. If that were the case then every single star who was in a commercial would be in trouble.

Doesnt BASH the movie at all all she states that the movie was "a little sexist" "Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience". She seems very appreciative to wards the movie and the makers and happy that she did it so can someone tell me wtf is all the fuss about? Did u actually read the article?

They made up 40% of it as they went along. Second, why the hell is what she said such a big deal? You act like she shit in your cheerios. Who cares? It's just a stupid comedy. Get over it. What, you can't jerk off fantasizing about her any more now? Move on. Jesus what a bunch of babies. Hey thatfella:

(And I don't see how anyone knows whether she alienated all her male fans.) But, again, she didn't "bash" the movie. She called it "a little sexist" (and also praised it). If I say "that music is a little loud" am I bashing the volume of the music? No, I'm just observing that it's a little bit louder than I like it. She just thought "Knocked Up," in spite of everything she liked about it, was a little more sympathetic to the boys than the girls. That's it. She's really only a hypocrite if she's ever gone on record as saying the movie is not sexist. But I guess if I point out that this website sometimes makes small spelling and grammatical errors it's the same as bashing it (I like this website, so I'd never bash it). Anyway, I saw the movie a few times and while I can see where she's coming from, I disagree with her interpretation; I don't think it's particularly sexist. But that's just me. How about everyone who's now calling her names and disparaging her just take a deep breath, make peace with disagreeing with her, and move on.

She knew what she was getting into from the start. She saw a script, she obviously saw 40 year old virgin so she obviously knew the vein of humor the film was going to be in, and now she's a star and getting a fat 6 million dollar paycheck because of it. Certainly she has a right to bash it, but no one was holding a gun to her head to make that film and she knew damn well what she was getting into. You pro-Heigel people are missing the point.

I think Heigl should be allowed to look at her choices, in retrospect, and to share her criticisms! She should even be allowed to change her mind. She was paid for her work as an actress, not paid to like the movie, or to find it beyond criticism. And a stripper can certainly call her work demeaning, regardless of how much or little she gets paid. Who would know better, anyway? You're not paid to LIKE your job, but to do your job. The original script for this particular movie was very different than the final version. Personally, I found that the movie conformed to annoying gender stereotypes, but no more than most Hollywood movies. Now that she's established, maybe Heigl can choose more complex roles and better films. This article is no good. Props to Heigl.

Calm down, everyone. What should she do, not act in movies that are male-centric and/or sexist? She'd never work. I don't see what's wrong with her calling it "a little sexist" (I noticed nobody running the quote feels the need to include the part where she says she loved about 98% of it). Lots of people have mixed feelings about the things they do to earn a living (hell, most people hate what they do for a living). No kidding on the overreaction. Calm down, everyone.

She said she didn't love it AT FIRST, and I totally agree with her about the subtle sexism in the movie. In fact, when it first came out, I felt like I was yelling into the wind about the problematic implications about the female characters. Definite overreaction, and I've been disappointed at almost everyone's response to this.
