Allison Scott (Katherine) 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 (Seth 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 (Leslie Mann) and hen-pecked
brother-in-law Pete (Paul 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... |
