Katherine Heigl Calls Hit Comedy Knocked Up "Sexist"
Katherine Heigl is knocking her summer hit Knocked Up for being "a little sexist.
“It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys,” the actress — who just turned 29
— tells January's Vanity Fair.
“It was hard for me to love the movie,” she says, even though the comedy elevated her asking price from $300,000 to $6 million for her next flick.
Heigl also says she’s grown wary of her Grey’s Anatomy character, Izzie, who had a fling with her married pal, George (T.R. Knight).
“It was a ratings ploy,” she says. “I’m trying to figure her out and keep her real.”

It also painted the men as irresponsible, immature, deadbeat potheads and women as the ambitious, responsible counterpart.
Not exactly how I would want to be portrayed if I was a man... she needs to get over herself.

Re: Katherine Heigl Calls Hit Comedy Knocked Up "Sexist"
that's what reading a script is about - read it, if you don't like it - don't do it....
she shouldn't have done it if she didn't AGREE with it!

Re: Katherine Heigl Calls Hit Comedy Knocked Up "Sexist"
 Oh...I like her so I'm a little upset to hear her knocking something that was a hit for her. Not that her comments are wrong, but still...be thankful for it! And I do agree on the Grey's stuff - I hate that they have them together. Not working for me!!

I think this is the root of the issue- she only made $300K for it- while the studio made a fortune
(yes I know $300K sounds like alot of money- but minus taxes, manager cut, agents cut, lawyers cut- it's not all that much- maybe $100K- which is more or less what you make for a lifetime or ABC movie of the week)
