On the heels of 2005's blockbuster The 40-Year-Old Virgin,
writer/director Judd Apatow again mines hilarity from
the relatable human in a comedy about a one-night stand
with unexpected consequences: Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl
(Gray'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 sister Debbie (Mann) and hen-picked 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…

Editorial Review featured on Amazon.com:
Rather than an ordinary film soundtrack, this might more
accurately be considered an exceptional Loudon Wainwright
album. A diehard Wainwright fan, director Judd Apatow explains
in his liner notes that he asked the singer-songwriter to
score Knocked Up, Apatow's first film since The 40-Year-Old
Virgin, only to learn that Wainwright was about to embark
on his next recording project with producer Joe Henry. The
resulting album features material that Wainwright had written
before the film score that the director wanted to use, other
cuts that are instrumental snippets in the movie but are
songs with lyrics on the album, and still others that take
thematic inspiration from the film. While Wainwright so
often writes lacerating and hilariously personal material,
many of these songs are more like character studies, with
a musical range that extends from the ragtime "So Much
to Do" (one of two songs written with Henry) and the
call-and-response of the chromosome ditty "X or Y"
to the Brecht/Weill cabaret tinge of "Final Frontier"
to the bluesy "Doin' the Math." Among the musicians
providing stellar support are guitarists Richard Thompson
and Greg Leisz and keyboardists Patrick Warren and Van Dyke
Parks. --Don McLeese
