Knocked Up works thanks in large part to a strong cast and Apatow's ability to stretch a seemingly razor-thin premise into a well-developed (OK, maybe too developed) final product. Knocked Up must be the funniest Hollywood romantic comedy since Apatow's 40-Year-Old Virgin.
This simple story makes up the hilarious film Knocked Up. I really enjoyed this, it has a lot of great laughs and it also has a lot of heart spread throughout. Seth Rogen does an excellent job, I'm glad he's been given the chance to be the lead in such a big film. And Katherine Heigl is equally entertaining.
Parents need to know that, like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up earns its R rating with drug use, strong language (it's constant, particularly "f--k"), nudity, and nonstop explicit conversations about sex. Teenagers will want to see it, especially if they saw.
Judd Apatow initially conceived Knocked Up as a sequel to The 40-Year-Old Virgin, or at least set in the same universe. The two films (and, indeed, all of Apatow's movies) share a lot of the same actors — Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill.
The film is largely based on the experience had by Judd Apatow and his wife Leslie Mann during the birth of their first daughter. All the encounters with doctors are based on actual events.
Is the couple in This is 40 the same as Knocked Up?
A "sort-of sequel" to Apatow's 2007 film Knocked Up, the movie centers on married couple Pete (Rudd) and Debbie (Mann), characters introduced in the previous film, whose stressful relationship is compounded by each turning 40. John Lithgow, Megan Fox, and Albert Brooks appear in supporting roles.
Directed by Judd Apatow, and written by both Apatow and Carell, The 40-Year-Old Virgin was a massive success at the box office, grossing over $177 million worldwide on a $26 million budget and marking a triumphant return for R rated comedies.
What movie does the girl get pregnant from the one night stand?
1. Knocked Up (2007) For fun-loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one-night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's pregnant with his child.
It follows the repercussions of a drunken one-night stand between a slacker and a recently promoted media personality that results in an unintended pregnancy.

Research published in 2013 found 1 to 2% of adults remain virgins into their forties. Most people assume others are having more sex and are more sexually experienced than they are, which is usually not the case. Young people today have less sex than the youth of two previous generations.
You may be surprised to know that according to a Center for Disease Control and Prevention report, 4.8 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 29 have never had sex (4.4 for men); 2.4 percent of women and 3.3 percent of men between the ages of 30 and 34 are virgins, as are 1.5 percent of women and 1.6 percent of ...
And people younger than 20 are reporting fewer instances of first-time sexual intercourse than in previous generations. So scientifically speaking, being a virgin once you hit 20 is pretty damn normal for the men and women of my generation.
But there are those who hold out, making it to old age without ever having “done the deed” — while it's dangerous to imply that there's a “normal” age for first sex, therapists generally agree that you're a “mature-aged virgin” if you haven't had penetrative sex by age 30.
Clara Meadmore was one of the oldest living people and the oldest known virgin in the world. A year before she passed away in 2011 at the age of 108, Meadmore publicly celebrated her 107th birthday and told news outlets that the secret to her longevity was abstinence.
2010 107-year-old Clara Meadmore came out to say that she had never been sexually active as she had made a decision during her early teen years to remain a virgin until death.
Fox stars in the Judd Apatow-directed film as Desi, a boutique worker who's an escort on the side. The movie also features Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel and more. Several scenes throughout This is 40 objectify and sexualize Fox's Desi.
But apparently Apatow tried to include further nods to the couple, but they didn't make the final cut. “I shot some stuff, in case the audience demanded to know,” Apatow said in a recent interview with Film Comment. “I shot a version where Pete talks about how Ben and Alison live in Atlanta where she works for CNN.
