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. Knocked Up was directed by Apatow, from a screenplay by himself. Apatow, Shauna Robertson and Clayton Townsend were involved in the film as producers for the film studio, Apatow Productions. Rogen and Evan Goldberg were involved in the film as executive producers. Filming began in May 2006, in various locations in the United States, with a focus on California, including Los Angeles and Santa Monica. The cinematography was in charge of Eric Edwards, while the soundtrack was composed by Loudon Wainwright III and Joe Henry. The film was edited by Brent White and Craig Alpert. The film had a budget of $25 million. Knocked Up premiered at South by Southwest on March 12, 2007, and was released in the United States on June 1, 2007, by Universal Pictures. The film was a box office success, grossing $219 million worldwide, and received positive reviews from critics. This Is 40, a "sort-of sequel" focused on Rudd's and Mann's characters with Apatow returning as writer/director, was released on December 21, 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
