As a result, the mismatched pair slowly begin to reevaluate their feelings for each other — with some laughs along the way. Knocked Up and 27 Dresses already proved that Heigl can shine in romantic comedies, but the charismatic performance of former Las Vegas star Duhamel may be the film’s biggest surprise. ”Everybody walks out saying, ‘We know Katie is a star, but we’ve never seen Josh in this way,’?” says director Greg Berlanti, creator of TV’s Everwood and Eli Stone and one of the writers behind next summer’s Green Lantern. ”He’s kind of a throwback — he’s really big and macho, but he can also play the emotion.”
