SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
On the heels of 2005's blockbuster The 40-Year-Old Virgin,
writer/director Judd Apatow again mines hilarity from the
relatably human in a comedy about a one-night stand with unexpected
consequences: Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy,
Roswell) joins Virgin alums Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Leslie
Mann for a comic look about the best thing that will ever
ruin your best-laid plans: parenthood.
Allison Scott (Heigl) is an up-and-coming entertainment journalist
whose 24-year-old life is on the fast track. But it gets seriously
derailed when a drunken one-nighter with slacker Ben Stone
(Rogen) results in an unwanted pregnancy. Faced with the prospect
of going it alone or getting to know the baby's father, Allison
decides to give the lovable doof a chance.
An overgrown kid who has no desire to settle down, Ben learns
that he has a big decision to make with his kid's mom-to-be:
will he hit the road or stay in the picture? Courting a woman
you've just Knocked Up, however, proves to be a little difficult
when the two try their hands at dating. As they discover more
about one another, it becomes painfully obvious that they're
not the soul mates they'd hoped they might be.
With Allison's harried sister Debbie (Mann) and hen-pecked
brother-in-law Pete (Rudd) the only parenting role models
the young lovers have, things get even more confusing. Should
they raise the baby together? What makes a happy lifetime
partnership after all? A couple of drinks and one wild night
later, they've got nine confusing months to figure it out...
