 The
official screenplay book tie-in to the hilarious slacker comedy from
Universal Pictures by Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Freaks and
Geeks) about a very unexpected pregnancy.
Synopsis
They
say that opposites attract. For slacker Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) and
career girl Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the
case--at least for one intoxicated evening. Two months and several
pregnancy tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny,
anxious, and heartwarming journey that leads to huge laughs.
Featuring
the complete script, plus commentary by filmmaker Judd Apatow and
actress Charlyne Yi (who plays Jodi in the movie), stills from the
film, full cast and crew credits, and an article by Sarah Vance that
appeared in Script magazine, this Newmarket Shooting Script book will
be irresistible to the growing legion of Judd Apatow fans.
"For
a long time, I thought you needed a big, high-concept idea or an
intricate plot. But now I think that if I'm really honest, any idea can
be funny and interesting, especially if I'm not afraid to go all the
way with a confessional style." --Judd Apatow
Reviews
"Judd Apatow is making the freshest, most honest mainstream comedies in Hollywood...uproariously funny."
David Ansen, Newsweek
"Knocked
Up strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual
confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining,
pandering or preaching."
A.O. Scott, New York Times
"Knocked
Up is uproarious. Line for line, minute to minute, writer-director Judd
Apatow's latest effort is more explosively funny, more frequently, than
nearly any other major studio release in recent memory."
Joe Leyden, Variety
