Peter Travers' Best and Worst Movies of 2007

I hate ties, but there's no better way to honor the year's two best and ballsiest comedies, both on the subject of unexpected pregnancy and both resonating with unexpectedly harsh truths. In Knocked Up, writer-director Judd Apatow — the new master of laughs with a sting — takes the guy view as schlubby Seth Rogen impregnates Katherine Heigl on a one-night stand and confronts his sworn enemy: maturity. In Juno, director Jason Reitman, working from a kick-ass original screenplay by Diablo Cody, takes the girl view by letting teenage Juno (the impossibly talented Ellen Page) bypass a hasty abortion in favor of having the baby and being pro-choice on the adoptive parents. Don't you love it when humor that bubbles also bristles?
