PROJECT

Formerly known as Children's Express, Headliners is a UK-wide news agency producing news, features and comment by young people for everyone.

Through a unique learning through journalism programme, young people aged 8 to 19 research and write stories on issues that are important to them for publication in national and local newspapers, magazines, television and radio.

The aim of this blog, created by Maëlle Guéroult and Connor Scullion, is to let every young person from Northern Ireland express their ideas and opinions, whatever their background.

The views contained in this blog are those of the individual writer and are not necessarily endorsed by Headliners, the host school or any other partner organisation.

Knocked Out and Knocked Up





By Orlanda Brennan (15, Headliners)





Directed by Judd Apatow, 40 year old virgin
Starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl and Paul Rudd.


Knocked up is about a girl, Alison (Katherine Heigl) who recently gets a promotion at E!news and goes out to celebrate at night. She meets Ben (Seth Rogen), an unemployed male. They hang out and eventually she gets pregnant to him. It’s a funny tale about two strangers who try to get along and bring a baby into the world…I wont spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

I recently went to see knocked up and it was very funny but I would not recommend it to any young couples going out on a first date. Some parts are not to be seen by really anyone as there is a whole birth scene at the end that some people just don’t need to see. It may ruin your appetite but that’s the only thing to criticise apart from the cursing. Overall it is a very good and entertaining film.
