Katherine Heigl had a few choice words about her summer movie Knocked Up in the January issue of Vanity Fair.

“It was a little sexist,” says the Grey’s Anatomy star, who just turned 29.

Heigl adds: “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys...It was hard for me to love the movie.”

The comedy reportedly elevated her asking price from $300,000 to $6 million for her next flick.

But Knocked Up's writer-director, Judd Apatow, defends the actress.

“When you’re promoting a movie, you talk for hours and hours and it’s very easy for something to be taken out of context,” Apatow told Usmagazine.com at Wednesday's GQ Men of the Year party at West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.

“I’m just happy people are talking about Knocked Up six months after it came out!” he added.
