I just got home from a showing of Knocked Up which contains several examples of where lack of nudity had a direct impact on my ability to enjoy the movie.

It's extremely obvious that Katherine Heigl had a nudity clause in her contract, as she was always wearing a bra during the various sex scenes between her and Seth Rogen.

My complaint has nothing to do with the fact that we didn't get to see her breasts, but everything to do with it coming across as forced and out of place in that kind of over-the-top comedy. It simply moved me out of my suspension of disbelief - time and again even.

I really wish they'd either used a body double, or used angles where she could be topless without showing breasts, or even had her wear a t-shirt or blouse or men's shirt instead of the clumsy and awkward way they went with.

Even my wife commented on it, without me bringing it up I might add. She basically mirrored my thoughts above, that it just seemed weird and "wrong" in some manner.

Anyway, as we were having a conversation about it I thought about this thread and wanted to share.
