KNOCKED UP


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 night stand with slacker Ben Stone (Rogen) results in an unexpected pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going it alone or getting to know the baby's father, Allison decides to give the lovable layabout a chance. An overgrown kid with no desire to settle down, Ben learns he has a big decision to make with his kids mother-to-be: will he run or stay? Courting a woman youve just Knocked Up, however, proves to be difficult when the two try their hands at dating and more. As they discover more about one another, it becomes painfully obvious that they are not the soul mates they had 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 have got nine confusing months to figure it out.

40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN


After four decades on the planet, Andy Stitzer (Carrel) has still not had sex. He's had a pretty good life in most ways, but there's that one rather significant experience that has given him the slip. Andy works at an electronics store and when his workmates find out his secret, they think its time things changed. After all, Andy may have his odd ways, but weirder guys and certainly plainer ones have had at least one taste of something he has been denied. No matter how hard his friends try to change Andy's situation, the end result is that in one particular area he still remains a non participant. And then he meets Trish (Catherine Keener) and Andy's pals start to hold out hope for him until they discover the arrangement that he and Trish have made concerning their relationship.
