KNOCKED UP
SYNOPSIS
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.
